Lacrosse in Central Pennsylvania ranks among the fastest growing sports in the PIAA. Membership in the Central PA Chapter has grown 30 percent in two years to 6,135 members. The game was first played by Native Americans, hence the nickname “The Creators Game.” The public is invited to Inaugural Hall of Fame Dinner Event at the Sheraton Harrisburg/Hershey Hotel Sunday, January 29, 2017 at 5 pm.
