I
t’s one of the best feelings I’ve ever had in my life, winning gold with Team Canada. It was cool, being the underdog. I don’t think many people
gave us a chance when you look at the names of the people on the [U.S.] team. We had a lot of great players. We really came together as a team and as a nation.
HANDS
Sometimes they’ll get on your stick. You can’t grab their stick and move it away. When they do get it on, turn the stick laterally so the ball doesn’t fall out. If you have it facing upside down the ball is going to fall out. If you have it facing up and they get your butt-end, the ball is going to pop out. If you hold it laterally, on an angle, they might get the butt end of the stick, but the ball will hit the sidewall.
LEFT ELBOW
You can put your elbow out as long as you’re not using it to grab their stick or knock it away.
LEFT WRIST
You can kind of put your wrist out there. They might slash your wrist with a check, but it’s not going to get to your stick.

FRESH
APPROACH
Indoor lacrosse is almost a different sport. It’s almost like playing hockey. In fi eld, it’s like soccer, a little slower and tactical and bigger nets. It’s kind of refreshing to go back in the summer and play box lacrosse.
BROWNIE MIX
If you include man-up, we probably have close to 70 or 80 plays. There may be seven or eight main sets, but Brownie [assistant Matt Brown]
manipulates them and changes things for different teams. You almost need one of those quarterback playbook sleeves on your wrist to keep track.
