The inaugural version of the NXTsports Can-Am Showcase will take place this weekend, November 10-11 at Detroit Country Day School (DCDS) in Beverly Hills, Mich. The first-ever Can-Am Showcase is shaping up to be a huge success and the biggest ever exposure lacrosse event in the Midwest.
Modeled after the Philly Showcase, the Can-Am Showcase will feature approximately 200 individual players in action on Saturday. The participating players hail from seventeen different states and from the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Saskatchewan.
All players will be placed on teams coached by NCAA Division 1 college coaches, and will play three games throughout the morning in front of more than 50 college coaches who have pre-registered to attend.
The Can-Am Showcase will continue with an elite team competition on Sunday, November 11, at which top club teams from the Midwestern United States and Canada will be in competition. Clubs and schools in competition on Sunday include: Culver Academy (IN), Hill Academy (ON), Evolve Elite (ON), Titanium (OH, IN, MI), Everest Academy (ON), Red Lions (IL), Michigan Elite, Black Grizzlies (MI), Raging Rhinos (MI), True Lacrosse (IL), and Heat Lacrosse (MI).
The Can-Am Showcase will take place at Detroit Country Day School’s state-of-the-art athletic complex, which includes DCDS’ stadium and full-field indoor fieldhouse, both of which are equipped with state-of-the-art field turf.
“Detroit Country Day School is proud to host the inaugural NXTsports Can-Am Showcase in our state-of-the-art facilities,” said Glen Shilling, headmaster for Detroit Country Day School. “As one of the original schools to bring lacrosse to Michigan, we have had a long tradition of promoting competitive lacrosse. We are eager to welcome participants, fans and coaches to this exciting event.”
