The story of Medicine Man began in August of 2011 when we came to understand the importance of spirituality+inner consciousness and its effect on outer body performance. We began to study spirituality from indigenous communities and came across the link of Lacrosse and it's origin as the Medicine Game. As long time players of Lacrosse, it became apparent of this profound importance. However we were surprised to notice, that there were no active companies promoting the importance of Lacrosse as the Medicine Game. Noting it's qualities of healing, community participation, friendship & competition, we believed that we had an obligation to create a platform to motivate and inspire lacrosse players to learn more about Lacrosse and it's origins as a Native American healing ceremony.
In 2011, we produced our first line of motivational lacrosse clothing & apparel with a mission to help the everyday laxers express their passion for the game, represent their identity to the world and connect to the lacrosse culture. Medicine Man Lacrosse clothing set out to design apparel that incorporated the passion and dedication players have for lacrosse as well as the heritage and early beginnings of the game. Our inspiration to begin with clothing came from our own love of the game. Our goal in designing Medicine Man Lacrosse clothing was to unify the lacrosse culture around 3 facets; Love the Game, Live your Passion and Share the Experience. It's the idea that we can wear lacrosse clothing as a symbol of our passion, dedication and our unwavering love for this game. It's the idea that we as lacrosse players are unique and by wearing our passion we help direct resources to communities that want to play the game but have little opportunity to do so. Medicine Man thus set out to embody a unique point of view that encompassed the subtle intricacies of the game, the spirit and magic from its early beginnings and the passion of those who dedicate themselves to nurturing participation in their communities.
Present day, Medicine Man is a purposeful approach to lacrosse culture, meticulously crafted to reflect an organization whose core values revolves around the player, the game, and the community. Each aspect of Medicine Man and the archetype it represents strives to promote the power of imagination, the culture of community, the lifestyle of talent and the self-expressive identity of play. Thus Medicine Man is a symbol of game, life and experience. Through the shared identity of play; players and community connect through the Medicine Game to express their spirit. The harmonious understanding of the healing game connects us to the past, present and future
Join us as we strive to connect the community through the shared identity of play and express the foundational values on which lacrosse was established: to connect man with his spirit..
