Zach Currier To Make Debut With Canadian National Team
October 04, 2016 | Men's Lacrosse
Zach Currier is taking the first step in a process that may land him in Manchester, England, in a little less than two years.
Currier, a senior on the Princeton men's lacrosse team, will represent the Canadian national team in a pair of exhibition games later this month as one of 26 players on the roster. The Canadian team will play in Colorado against Denver and Air Force on Oct. 22 and 23.
The games will be Currier's first two with the national team. Currier did win a silver medal with Canada at the 2012 U-19 World Championships.
Currier will be one of 11 players who will be playing for the first time for the national team. Canada won the 2014 FIL World Championship in Denver, and the team that defends that title in 2018 in Manchester will certainly have several of those 11 players on its roster.
A first-team All-Ivy League and honorable mention All-America selection in 2016, Currier is a versatile player who can almost anything from the midfield - shoot, pass, face-off, play the wings on face-offs, defend. He's also one of the best ground ball middies Princeton has ever had. These qualities translate well to the professional and international lacrosse, where short rosters require players with a variety of skills.
Princeton is currently in the early stages of its fall practices. The highlight will be a game against Denver on Oct. 15 on William G. Tierney Field at the U.S. Lacrosse headquarters in Sparks, Md.
