One of my former players was recently pinned as a US Navy Seal, graduating #1 in his class. In contrast to the tired, demographic cliche, public may be surprised to hear and lacrosse can be proud that it is one of 7 sports (not FB, BB or BB) that produces the most Seal recruits.

The best lacrosse player in the world is a Native American sporting a hand-hewn “Black Lives Matter” marker on his helmet. This is not Gilman/Garden City, ladies and gentlemen...there is an awakening afoot.

I am writing a book with Zed Williams about his life, Seneca Indian, second youngest of 10, first to graduate from college, PLL MVP...it’s a great story.

I’m almost 70…I spent 3 hrs in study hall last night trying to encourage one particular young man to focus on his schoolwork. Why am I doing this? Because at this point in my life, I get great satisfaction from helping someone “figure it out”, even if just one child at a time.

To college players...maybe you are not as strong as some of your teammates, as fast, experienced, you want to play more...this is the time of year when you can outwork them. Make your 12/22 resolution to be first in the running come Jan...no excuses, take responsibility, do it!

How the world turns...I had never seen Lacrosse before arriving at Brown in fall of ‘70 and Lars was a VERY late addition to his recruiting class. I was doing a home visit on Onondaga Rez when I first heard his name in ‘85. I took a chance and the rest, as they say, is history.

OK, all you young players…what have we learned watching Brennan O’Neill? The stroke you should be working on is “overhand to the side pipe”, hi or lo, near or far. There is a deception in that lead shoulder that freezes goalies. Put away that sidearm to the top bar….

I was sitting in Joe Solomon’s house on the Onondaga reservation when Mr Solomon asked if I knew about a solid defenseman with good grades at the high school who was not getting a lot of attention. I called Lars the next day...

It was 36 years ago today, two weeks after taking my Brown team to Chapel Hill for a playoff game and two days after we hosted the NCAA Finals, that these two angels were born. Their life mission may be simply to bring joy in to other’s lives. Happy Birthday Maggie and Emma!

The descriptive term “Iroquois” is actually derogatory in origin. The NA Teams will now be referred to as Haudenosaunee Nationals. I also think it would be informative and educational if PLL announcers provide the tribal affiliation of Native players- Seneca, Mohawk, Ojibwe,etc

My daughter Maggie, on the left, had a little fundraiser for Special Olympics that I sent around to some of the boys this morning. No exaggeration, within 15 minutes of pushing “send”, she was over her goal! Sense of community in our game
