Seamus Bankier is set to represent Scotland on the international stage is the latest chapter in a lacrosse journey that began right here in Kamloops.

The Kamloops Venom standout has been selected to suit up for Team Scotland at the upcoming European Box Lacrosse Championships in Prague, Czech Republic, earning the chance to compete against some of the top players from across the continent. The tournament will take place from June 25 - July 4, 2026.

Bankier's selection is a testament to the work he has put into his game over the years, developing into a key contributor for the Venom while continuing to pursue opportunities beyond the local level. Now, he'll take that experience overseas as part of a Scottish squad looking to make its mark at one of Europe's premier box lacrosse events.

The European Box Lacrosse Championships bring together national teams from across the region in a showcase of the sport's growing international reach, with Prague providing the backdrop for this year's tournament. Scotland has a longstanding history in European lacrosse competition and will once again be among the nations vying for a strong finish.

For Bankier, the experience represents more than just another tournament. It is an opportunity to wear his family's colours with pride, compete against elite international talent, and serve as an ambassador for both Scottish lacrosse and the Kamloops lacrosse community.

As the Venom continue their season at home, they'll do so knowing one of their own is preparing for one of the biggest stages of his career. From the floors of Kamloops to the arenas of Prague, Seamus Bankier is set to show that local talent can leave an impact far beyond British Columbia.
