Early Europeans began playing this game in Canada during the early 19th century. The Montreal Olympic Club gathered a team together in 1844 to play against a Native American team. Many games like this went on for about seven years later. The first modern organized sport of lacrosse came in 1856. During this time the Montreal Lacrosse Club (MLC) was formed. This club was the first to develop written rules for the game. A member of the MLC by the name of George Beers rewrote the rules more comprehensively in 1867.
