Lars Patrick Dousa (born July 1, 1992) is an American floorball player who plays as a forward. He has won two caps for the United States national floorball team. Born in the United States, he also holds a Swedish citizenship.
Born in Dallas, Texas to Swedish parents, Dousa moved to Stockholm, Sweden with his family in 1996. Growing up in northern Stockholm, he picked up the sport of floorball and represented the local floorball club all the way from the youth teams to the senior team. In 2013, he returned to the United States to attend Wilmington College in Wilmington, Ohio as a marketing major.
In November 2013, Dousa was called up to the United States national floorball team for their 2014 World Floorball Championships qualifying campaign after impressing national team scouts at a floorball tournament in Westchester, New York. He made his full international debut for the United States on January 31, 2014, in a World Championship qualifier against Jamaica, scoring one goal and providing one assist in a 27âÂÂ0 win. He won his second cap on February 2, 2014, in a qualifier against Canada, helping the United States clinch a spot at the 2014 World Floorball Championships through a 5âÂÂ2 win. Despite contributing to United States' qualification for the World Championship, he was not selected for the final tournament held in Gothenburg, Sweden in December 2014.
In 2015, Dousa helped the Dallas-based floorball team the Lonestar Lions win the 2015 Lonestar Invitational Floorball Tournament (LIFT) in Arlington, Texas, playing alongside future United States international Matt Nunez.
