DEDICATED TO THE CRAFT
There are lot of current players that are doing a great job and I think that’s a reason for the growth of lacrosse. All these guys that are hot out of college and playing pro, they play on the weekends but they spread lacrosse during the week. It’s their passion that has helped lacrosse grow at the rate it has.

THE HIDDEN SECRET OF INDOOR
A lot of people say you have to play box because of the touches and it teaches you to score from in tight. Well, that may have a little bit to do with it, but to me it’s the toughness and the physicality and the amount of wars that these guys have been through. That’s why Canada is winning world championships. It’s not the skill, it’s the mentality and the ability to adapt to different situations. There’s no doubt that getting more touches helps and enhances a player, but it’s the seven- game series in the end of August that they’re playing in eight nights. And it’s at all different levels, whereas in the U.S. development system, you typically play in the some club tournaments, then all-star teams, but there’s no equivalent of the wars that they go through. It’s all out.
