Women
Historically, box lacrosse has been exclusively a men's sport. Women who played the sport of lacrosse typically played the more genteel women's field lacrosse version. Recently, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia have established girls' and women's box lacrosse leagues.
During the 2003 NLL season, goaltender Ginny Capicchioni appeared in two preseason and one regular season game to become the only woman to make an appearance in the National Lacrosse League.
