2015 World Indoor Lacrosse Championship

The teams were divided into 3 divisions, with the 5 highest-ranked teams placed in the Blue Division and the others being split into the Red and Green Divisions. In the Blue Division, the top two teams advanced to the semifinals, the third and fourth teams entered the quarterfinals and the fifth team was placed in the classification bracket. The top two teams in both the Red and Green Divisions entered the play-in games, while the bottom two teams were placed in the classification bracket.

Canada once again was undefeated in pool play, although the game versus the Iroquois was hard-fought.{{cite news|last1=Schilling|first1=Vincent|title=Iroquois Nationals Drop Squeaker to Team Canada in Worlds|url=https://indiancountrymedianetwork.com/culture/sports/iroquois-nationals-drop-squeaker-to-team-canada-in-worlds/|accessdate=25 November 2017|work=Indian Country Today|date=September 21, 2015}} The Nationals led 8–4 early in the third period, but Canada outscored them 7–1 the rest of the game.{{cite web|title=Iroquois - Canada 9:11|url=http://stats.pointbench.com/wilc/2015/index.php?cmd=game-detail&gameid=16|website=pointbench.com|publisher=WILC|accessdate=25 November 2017}}

Israel was seeded #5 and Ireland #6 in the quarterfinals. Finland and Australia were placed in the classification bracket.

The gold medal game was close throughout the first half, with only two brief two-goal leads for Canada. Canada led 6–5 at the half, then the teams traded two-goal runs to get back to 8–7 in the early fourth quarter. Steven Priolo and Stephan Leblanc both scored in unsettled situations within a minute of each other for Canada to take command of the game with 10 minutes left.

Team Canada's Curtis Dickson led all scorers with four goals, including one open-net goal, and an assist. His teammate Mark Matthews had four assists. Randy Staats and Johnny Powless both had four points for the Iroquois.{{cite web|title=Canada - Iroquois 12:8|url=http://stats.pointbench.com/wilc/2015/index.php?cmd=game-detail&gameid=46|website=pointbench.com|publisher=WILC|accessdate=25 November 2017}}
