- Comment: This draft has a title that either has been disambiguated, or will need disambiguation to be accepted.If this draft is accepted, a disambiguation page will need to be created. (Review of the existing article or articles with the principal name indicates that a disambiguation page should be crated in place of the use of hatnotes alone.) The disambiguation page should be Canadian Lacrosse League (disambiguation). Robert McClenon (talk) 20:40, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

The Canadian Lacrosse League (CLL) is an independent amateur lacrosse league dedicated to the formation of major junior lacrosse in Canada.[1]
As a founded member of International Indoor Junior Lacrosse (IIJL) the CLL administers teams for Junior (U22) U18, U16, and Women's Junior championships.
History
[edit]The CLL was founded in 2016 for the purpose of operating a Canadian entry in the IIJL World Junior Lacrosse Championship, then known as the U-19 World Lacrosse Challenge. The CLL focused on providing development for players, coaches, and officials who have aspirations to reach the National Lacrosse League through international competition not provided by other leagues or national and international governing bodies.[2]
International
[edit]As a Founding Member Nation the CLL represents Canada at all International Indoor Junior Lacrosse (IIJL) championships and tournaments[3], namely the IIJL World Junior Lacrosse Championship (WJLC)[4].
Players are selected to play with the CLL and represent Canada internationally through competing at regional combines held across the country annually.[5]
