The Native Americans were the creators of the game and was first observed by the French settlers in Quebec. Canada adopted do to the uniqueness it had to do with Canada.
Lacrosse is Canada's national summer sport and was declared more so in hommage to the country's aborigine population who first played the game rather than in popularity. In Canada, where hockey is the national winter sport, soccer, Baseball and Canadian Football is played more than Lacrosse.

Although Lacrosse was played by First Nations people in Canada for centuries, it was only declared the national summer sport in 1994, in response to Nelson Riis's move to declare hockey the national winter sport.

These two games are in Canada , mainly as hockey is a snow game , and Canada has a cold climate. While lacrosse isa game invented by the American Indians. And so it is played in Canada and the U.S.a.

The sport was started by the Native Americans, particularly the Iroquois who lived in modern day Rochester, NY, which is on the East coast. Lacrosse started to become popular a decade ago and it just decided to catch on from there.
