TRENDING BUZZ WORTHY 1 #LAXEMOJI


Are you ready for a lacrosse emoji? From the looks of it — with numerous tweets clamoring for a #laxemoji — fans are yearning to end their lacrosse posts with an emoji of their own.


Thanks to Nicole Bohorad, senior manager of social media enablement, technology and analytics at Under Armour, a lacrosse emoji could appear on keywords in the near future.


Bohorad submitted a proposal for the very first lacrosse emoji to the Unicode Consortium last month. She included images of a potential emoji: one in the shape of a traditional Native American stick and the other of a regulation NCAA stick. If the proposal is accepted, lacrosse fans could start using the emoji as early as late 2018 or early 2019. That’s when the Unicode 11.0 update drops. So sit tight, lacrosse fans. You might be getting that #LaxEmoji before you know it.

ANOTHER THOMPSON RECORD


The NLL season is young, but big names are already making waves in the league. None more notably than the Thompson Brothers — Jerome, Lyle, Miles and Jeremy — who set a new Guinness World Record with all four brothers taking the floor at the same time when Georgia Swarm faced the Saskatchewan Rush on Jan. 7. “It’s always quite the accomplishment when you get to play at the highest level of lacrosse and to be playing against the brothers makes it that much more meaningful,” said Jeremy Thompson, who plays for the Rush. “I know my brothers are playing for the same reasons as me and that makes this a very special event.” In other NLL news, Americans Tom Schreiber and Kieran McArdle broke onto the NLL scene, combining for six points in the Toronto Rock’s season-opening win over the Rochester Knighthawks.


Speaking of the Knighthawks, they’re continuing to lose players as the season progresses. As of Jan. 10, the Knighthawks were playing without Dan Dawson, Cody Jamieson, Cory Vitarelli and Stephen Keogh for a variety of reasons.

MILES MOSCATO


Salisbury secured a special recruit in January. One-handed lacrosse player Miles Moscato, who participated in the 2015 US Lacrosse Nationals with 3d Lacrosse, committed to the Sea Gulls in early January. Moscato, an Oregon native, was born without much of his left arm due to a medical condition in his mother’s womb known as amniotic band syndrome.


“I’m really grateful to [my parents] never limiting me and letting me think I can do anything,” the West Linn (Ore.) junior told Lax Sports Network.
