List Of National Lacrosse Hall Of Fame Members
The members of the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame are inducted by US Lacrosse and are enshrined at the Lacrosse Museum and National Hall of Fame on the campus of Johns Hopkins University. Members have been inducted into the National Hall of Fame annually since 1957. The Lacrosse Museum and National Hall of Fame were rededicated in 1997, as part of the expansion of the US Lacrosse headquarters.
Individuals are nominated in four distinct categories: players, coaches, officials/umpires, and contributors. The annual number of inductees is limited to five male and five female honorees. A nomination committee is responsible for reviewing the candidates' qualifications and selecting 25 men and 25 women who they believe are best qualified for election. After it is further narrowed down to 15 men and 15 women, the US Lacrosse Board of Directors makes the final determination of who will be the year's inductees. Each year, the nominating and voting process takes place from January through April. The annual class of inductees is publicly announced over Memorial Day weekend in May (in conjunction with the NCAA Men's Final Four held the same weekend). They are then officially inducted at a ceremony in October.
In 1992, Rosabelle Sinclair, a pioneer of the women's game, was the first woman to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Since Sinclair, there have been 76 other woman inductees, and, combined with 287 men, there are 364 total inductees as of the 2010 class.

“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“I made a list of things I have
to remember and a list
of things I want to forget,
but I see they are the same list.”
—Linda Pastan (b. 1932)
“What do we mean by patriotism in the context of our times? I venture to suggest that what we mean is a sense of national responsibility ... a patriotism which is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
“Go where he will, the wise man is at home,
His hearth the earth,—his hall the azure dome;
Where his clear spirit leads him, there’s his road,
By God’s own light illumined and foreshadowed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Those poor farmers who came up, that day, to defend their native soil, acted from the simplest of instincts. They did not know it was a deed of fame they were doing. These men did not babble of glory. They never dreamed their children would contend who had done the most. They supposed they had a right to their corn and their cattle, without paying tribute to any but their governors. And as they had no fear of man, they yet did have a fear of God.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“If the education and studies of children were suited to their inclinations and capacities, many would be made useful members of society that otherwise would make no figure in it.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
