Missoula, Mt. By Mark Macyk


Locals call Montana “The Last Best Place.” Missoula, a college town pinned between five mountain ranges and two rivers in Western Montana, fits that description. “There are mountains I can see from


my apartment that I still haven’t climbed,” said Kevin Flynn, a Chicago area native who came to Missoula to attend the University of Montana in 2002 and hasn’t left. Panoramic views of nature had something to do with that. But the city’s burgeoning lacrosse scene also played a role. Flynn was the player/coach on Montana’s

2007 MCLA championship team. He’s now the executive director of the Missoula Elite youth program, which he founded in 2008 with his buddy Jamie Pyke, and coaches at Hellgate High School. Missoula Elite’s membership rose from 13 to 200 kids in four years, with players as young as 7. The Montana Chapter of US Lacrosse has 200-plus members. In 2010, the state had two high schools


teams. This spring it will have 10. Though they no longer need to trek to Idaho


or Washington for competition, traversing Montana remains a challenge. The state has less than a million people spread across an area roughly the size of Japan. Some new opponents are six hours away. Further growth in Missoula and Montana

“He would rip his heart out of his chest to play lacrosse.”


— Colorado Mammoth president and GM Steve Govett, in reference to forward Brian Langtry (pictured) at a ceremony celebrating the retirement of Langtry’s jersey number 6. Lan- gry spent nine seasons in Colorado and scored 504 career points. The only other Mammoth player to have his jersey number retired is Gary Gait.

could hinge upon 10Sticks Lacrosse. Directed by Alex Alviar, a former All-American goalie from Michigan, 10Sticks (because that’s all you need to start a team) brings lacrosse to Native American reservations. Montana has seven reservations and Native Americans make up the state’s largest minority. Three will field high school teams this spring, including the Flathead Reservation, whose border sits 10 miles from Missoula. “I’m making sure I’m taking my team to the


reservation and not the other way around,” Flynn said. “At the end of the day, there’s a mutual respect, and if that can make kids not hate Indians, that’s awesome. That’s not the immediate goal. It’s a long-term thing. But the way we’re growing the sport in our state, we’re doing it with that strongly in mind. It might change the whole dynamic later on.” LM
