The Lacrosse Canada "2026 LC Modifications 2.0" list these for Junior Men A (shared with Junior Women U22, Junior Men B and C, and Senior A, B and C):
- No crease cylinder.
- Crease diving is permitted.
- 3v3 sudden-victory overtime for all non-playdown games.
- 5v5 overtime during playdowns and playoffs.
- Officials' discretion when a goaltender is hit in the facemask with a ball. It is not an automatic whistle, and safety remains a priority.
For comparison, the base World Lacrosse 2026-2028 Box Rules describe sudden-victory overtime as 15-minute periods after a 2-minute interval, with the first goal winning.
