Warrior Lacrosse is a manufacturer of lacrosse equipment, hockey sticks and apparel based in Warren, Michigan. It was founded in 1993 by Dave Morrow. Warrior Lacrosse was acquired by New Balance on February 1, 2004.
It sponsors several college lacrosse teams as well as Major League Lacrosse (MLL) and the Canadian Men's National Team. It was the title sponsor of the 2006 Warrior World Lacrosse Championship in London, Ontario and is the exclusive supplier to the US National Women's Lacrosse Team. It is also the presenting sponsor of ESPN's annual coverage of the NCAA men's lacrosse championships.
In 2005, New Balance (Warrior Lacrosse's parent company) acquired Innovative Hockey, but renamed it using the Warrior brand, as Warrior Hockey. Contrary to popular belief, Warrior Hockey is now a division of New Balance and not a subsidiary of it or part of Warrior Lacrosse.
