GRAND JUNCTION — Lacrosse originated as a sport among the American Indian tribes of northeastern North America — and has long been a popular sport in schools in the eastern United States. The sport is gradually making its way westward.
Lenny Lang grew up in New York and played lacrosse in high school and college. His son “got a taste” of the sport while visiting family back east in 2006 and wanted to be able to play it in Grand Junction.
