Hockey Codes

Peter Inge, born on 13 December 1977, is a lacrosse player who became the first Australian to play in Major League Lacrosse. He came from the Woodville Lacrosse Club in South Australia and first represented Australia at the 1996 ILF World Under 19 Championship, where the team finished runner-up to the United States. He played for the senior Australian team alongside his brother James at the 1998 World Lacrosse Championship, where Australia finished third, and was selected for the World All-Stars team after Australia took bronze at the 2002 championships in Perth. The Boston Cannons drafted him in 2003, making him the first player drafted to the league with no NCAA lacrosse experience, and he scored his first career goal in his debut on 31 May 2003. After a trade to the San Francisco Dragons following the 2005 season he captained Australia to another third place finish at the 2006 World Lacrosse Championship. He later served as an assistant coach of the Australia women's national lacrosse team at the 2009 Women's Lacrosse World Cup, where Australia won the silver medal, and in 2025 he was elected to the inaugural class of the Australian Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
