Haudenosaunee Nationals: Local Talent on the Roster

Ahead of the 2024 World Lacrosse Box Championships, the Haudenosaunee Nationals have officially announced their 2024 Men’s Roster that will compete in Utica, New York this September. The roster is a blend of familiar faces that have been staples of the Haudenosaunee program for over a decade, as well as new faces who will be making the step up for their first Indoor World Championships. This will be the sixth World Box Championships the team will compete in over its history. The Haudenosaunee have brought home the silver in their previous five appearances (2003, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019). At the helm of the team will be Head Coach Roger Chrysler, who has spent the last five years on the bench with the NLL’s Halifax Thunderbirds, along with the Can-Am League’s Tuscarora Tomahawks.

Two of the most intriguing names to make the Haudenosaunee roster are Koleton Marquis and Trey Deere. The pair of forwards from the Kahnawake Mohawk Territory are both still in college: Deere at Syracuse and Marquis at Albany. They have worked their way onto the men’s team with their stellar summer performances over the past few summers.

Marquis finished his final season of Junior A ball with 160 points, including playoffs, to lead the Orangeville Northmen in scoring in 2023. He also had 28 points in 12 games as a rookie in Major Series Lacrosse with the Peterborough Lakers.

Deere had 107 points total last summer and helped Orangeville to the OJLL Championship and a Minto Cup appearance with Orangeville off the back of a 159-point season.
