There doesn't seem to be a formal patron saint of Lacrosse, but a saint gave the game its name! St. John de Brébeuf called the game lacrosse because "the stick used to remind him of a bishop's crosier (la crosse)"

Apparently in an effort to not overcrowd the saintly who's who list, individual sports don't all get a saint. That said, the patron saint of sports is Saint Sebastian. Saint Sebastian apparently embodies the attributes of being extremely fit and able to withstand long physical endurance.The amount of damage lacrosse players endure is probably equivalent to this saints demise.
