Roots Box Lacrosse is proud to present Rochester's top box lacrosse event, the inaugural Roch Vegas Showdown. Powered by the Rochester Knighthawks, ML8 Events and the US Box Lacrosse Association (USBOXLA), the tournament will take place in Rochester, New York, on Saturday, February 8 and Sunday, February 9, 2020. 

Pee Wee, Bantam and Midget teams from throughout the northeast United States and Canada will make this the most competitive box lacrosse event around.

"I am thrilled to host a box event in conjunction with the Knighthawks," said Roots Box Lacrosse founder and director Brad Gillies. "I am confident this will be an international event with the best box competition in the area. Bringing in great Canadian clubs exposes the American clubs to true box lacrosse, and my goal is to bring that here to Rochester."

All teams are schedule to play four games with the 9th/10th-grade teams having the potential to play games at the Blue Cross Arena on Sunday. As part of the registration fee, every player attending the USBOXLA-sanctioned tournament will receive a ticket to the Rochester Knighthawks vs. Vancouver Warriors game at 2pm on February 9.
