Who may be inducted?
There are four (4) Inductee Categories:
Player
Eligible male/female Player Inductees must have concluded their careers as “active players” (defined as a regular-roster player for any teams in the WLA, MSL, professional box or field leagues) for a minimum of five (5) years to be eligible for election as an Honoured Member. The Governing Board may waive this requirement in a given case at its sole discretion. Players shall be chosen on the basis of playing ability, sportsmanship, character and contribution to their team and to the game of lacrosse in general.
Builder
An eligible Builder Inductee is any individual who has, in a non-Player capacity, made a significant contribution to the sport of lacrosse. Ie. Coaches, Administrators, Support Staff, Officials, Members of the Media, etc. Builders may be inactive or active at time of nomination; there is no period of inactivity for Builders.
Veteran
Veteran candidates must have concluded their careers as active players prior to 1965 to be eligible for election as an Honoured Member. For clarity, in the year 2005, eligibility was advanced to 1970 and, thereafter, was advanced in five-year increments every fifth year. Thus, in 2015, eligible Veteran candidates must have concluded their careers in 1980 (or before) to be eligible.
Team
Team candidates may be elected each year based on outstanding achievement in a single season or domination over a specific period of time. The Team(s) so honoured must have attained a high level of achievement and brought recognition to the sport of lacrosse at the national or international levels.
How many nominees are inducted each year?
Player
The quota of Player Inductees to be elected each year shall be two (2) from Eastern Canada and two (2) from Western Canada unless otherwise directed from the Governing Board.
Builder
The election of one (1) Builder Inductee may be made by the Eastern and Western Selection Committees each year.
