About:
Formally started in 2018, Goaliesmith is the lifelong project of the Gvozden brothers. Brothers, Friends, and Business Partners; Mike and Andrew built Goaliesmith into the Nation’s top resource for Goalies with one goal in mind:
Gather the best & hungriest goalies on the same field to grow better, together.
The Gvozden’s grew up in Severna Park, Maryland, one of the world’s biggest hotbeds for lacrosse. Both former Division 1 Goalies, with an extensive list of accolades, were encouraged by their parents to combine their skill sets and create a “Goalie Training Company” in 2015. At the time, Mike was a Lacrosse Coach in Los Angeles and Andrew a Restaurant Manager in San Francisco. The brothers each trained Goalies in their respective areas, and began partnering up to put their best foot forward. After many trial events, traveling up and down the West Coast, and learning from one another, the brothers decided that if they took their training back to the East Coast, and had success, building Goaliesmith would become their full-time focus.
After a Preseason Tour of Baltimore, Boston, Long Island, and Upstate NY, the decision was made by Mike and Andrew to go all in. The Goaliesmith community has grown rapidly throughout the United States, reaching goalies around the globe ever since.
Quint was on site in Baltimore for the PLL and he kept himself busy interviewing several of the games most impactful people in between games.

Sean Kirwan joined the Dartmouth men's lacrosse program in June of 2023.
Kirwan spent the last seven seasons as the offensive coordinator at Virginia, where he helped lead the Cavaliers to national championships in 2019 and 2021, along with three Final Four appearances and a pair of ACC titles. Under Kirwan, the Virginia offense ranked among the top three nationally in goals per game in four different seasons. The 2023 Cavalier attack, which was instrumental in the team's run to the national semifinal, finished as the country's top scoring offense with 17.24 goals per game and set a new program record for total goals in a season (293). Kirwan was named the 2021 IMLCA Assistant Coach of the Year after helping guide Virginia to consecutive national titles.
A 2012 Tufts University graduate, Kirwan coached 18 All-Americans during his tenure at Virginia, including recent two-time Tewaaraton Award finalist and three-time first teamer Connor Shellenberger. Another three-time All-American, Matt Moore, broke the program's single-season and career points records under Kirwan's tutelage after transitioning from midfield to attack. Additionally, Kirwan developed consecutive ACC Rookie of the Year honorees in Michael Kraus (2017) and Moore (2018).
Prior to his seven-year stint at Virginia, Kirwan spent two seasons running the Brown offense with two Ivy League titles and a Final Four appearance to his credit. During the 2015 season, his first on the Bears' staff, Kirwan helped Brown win 12 games, its highest total since 2009, to set the stage for a program-best 16 victories the following season. His offense was especially potent in 2016 with a nation-leading 16.32 goals per game. Dylan Molloy was honored with the Tewaaraton Award as the top male collegiate lacrosse player in 2016, having led the country with 116 points, and becoming the first in program history to earn the prestigious accolade. Molloy was also named the Ivy League Player of the Year in both 2015 and 2016.
Kirwan coached under Lars Tiffany, a two-time ACC Coach of the Year recipient, at both Brown and Virginia. Tiffany earned back-to-back Ivy League Coach of the Year honors in 2015 and 2016 — both seasons with Kirwan on the staff.
Kirwan played collegiately and began his coaching career at Division III Tufts, where he helped the Jumbos win their first-ever national championship as part of his record-setting playing career that featured 150 goals — the program's top mark at the time. He joined the coaching staff following his 2012 graduation and spent two seasons leading the team's offense before entering the Division I coaching ranks prior to the 2015 season.
The Jumbos won the 2014 national championship with Kirwan serving as the offensive coordinator to complement back-to-back conference titles. The 2014 team amassed 423 goals, which stood as the highest single-season total by any team in history across all NCAA divisions at the time.
Kirwan gained additional coaching experience at the professional level, spending multiple seasons implementing offensive schemes for the Boston Cannons and the Cannons Lacrosse Club. In 2021, Kirwan's offense ranked as the second most efficient attack in Premiere Lacrosse League history. Additionally, he assisted with draft strategy and roster management.
A native of Boonton Township, New Jersey, Kirwan earned a bachelor's degree in child development and was a two-time All-American (2011 and 2012), plus a 2012 Academic All-American, at Tufts.

Andrew Stimmel is in his fifth season as head men's lacrosse coach at Marquette in 2023-24 and was named the second head coach in Marquette University men's lacrosse history on June 14, 2019.
Stimmel leads an experienced squad returning for the 2024 season, including three-time USILA All-American close defenseman Mason Woodward and three of the most prolific point producers in program history in Devon Cowan, Jake Stegman and Bobby O'Grady. During the 2023 campaign, Marquette knocked off eventual Championship Weekend team, No. 5 Penn State, and defeated Michigan, a team that advanced to the NCAA regional finals, by five goals in February. The Golden Eagles played one of the most difficult schedules in the country last season, including a game at the eventual NCAA Champion and closed the season with four-straight games against teams ranked in the top-12 in the USILA Coaches Poll.
Coaching internationally, Stimmel guided Team USA to a gold medal in the World Lacrosse Men's U-21 Championship in Limerick, Ireland during the summer of 2022. He served as an assistant coach for the Americans, who downed the Canadians, 12-10, in the title contest.

From Athletes Unlimited:
SPARKS, Md. — Goalkeeper Taylor Moreno became the first player in any Athletes Unlimited sport to claim consecutive titles after edging attacker Sam Apuzzo to win the 2023 Athletes Unlimited Lacrosse title after an exciting finish at USA Lacrosse Headquarters on Sunday afternoon.
Moreno, who secured the championship as a rookie last summer, beat out Apuzzo for the second straight year to finish atop the 57-player leaderboard with 1,679 points. Apuzzo, who claimed her third straight medalist honor, followed with 1,667 points.
Goalkeeper Kady Glynn secured third place with 1,346 points while rookie defender Abby Bosco finished fourth with 1,301 points.
Bosco, the first defender in league history to earn a medal, was named as the Athletes Unlimited Lacrosse Defensive Player of the Year, while goalkeeper Mira Shane earned the Teammate of the Year award in a vote of the league’s players. Defenders Lizzie Colson, Courtney Taylor and Caroline Wakefield joined Bosco as members of the league’s All-Defensive Team.
Athletes Unlimited also announced that it will continue with a fourth season of lacrosse in 2024. Details regarding timing and location will be announced at a later date.
After setting the league single-season saves record last summer, Moreno eclipsed her standard this season by pacing the league with 140 saves over 12 games, including eight outings with 10 or more saves. She also established a new single-game record with 17 saves against Team Apuzzo on July 30.
To commemorate her victory, Moreno will receive a medal designed and hand-fabricated by Lisa Issenberg, founder of Kiitellä, inc. Kiitellä is a Finnish word meaning “to thank, applaud or praise,” and Issenberg creates awards that are innovative, mixed-media, non-traditional works of art, pieces that celebrate accomplishment, humanity, and philanthropy. Kiitellä is committed to being a responsible steward of our environment, with each step in the process, from design to fabrication to delivery, using minimal energy and material.
Athletes Unlimited will also commission a portrait of Moreno for its Champions Collection, which features emerging artists whose work and approach speaks to the mission and values of Athletes Unlimited. The portrait will be created by Graham Martini, a 2022 graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art. The Charleston, South Carolina, native creates contemplative, fantastical, otherworldly and psychological pieces in the form of still lives, figurative and abstract works. His surreal still lives and figurative images reveal the sense that time and associative reasoning do not operate in a linear fashion. Martini depicts this idea through the representation of simultaneity through collage-like compositions as well as transmutational objects – entities that seemingly change form.
“I’m super grateful to have the opportunity to even come out here and win another [title], but it’s also a testament to my teammates and all of the support that I’ve had over the last two years,” Moreno said. “I am super grateful for that and can’t thank everyone enough for being so supportive.”

JT Giles-Harris of the PLL Chrome joins the JU Dolphins coaching staff, fresh off a world championship and all-world team honors.
JT's bio from JU below:
Giles-Harris joined the Dolphins staff in the summer of 2023.
"Hiring JT has felt like years in the making," said head coach John Galloway. "After watching JT's work ethic while on the sidelines and recruiting at Hampton, our staff knew this was someone who would make our program better. JT has humility and confidence that are rare in a player of his level. His playing experience speaks for itself. As the defenseman of the year in the PLL in 2022, JT is still learning from the best at the highest level. He will also be leading the Team USA defense this upcoming week in the world championship games. JT's pedigree will motivate everyone in our locker room, including players and staff. I can't wait to go to war with him!"
Giles-Harris comes from Hampton University, where he spent the previous two seasons as an assistant coach. While coaching at Hampton, Giles-Harris has also had a successful professional playing career in the Premier Lacrosse League. In 2022, the year Giles-Harris started coaching, he was named the PLL's defensive player of the year, as well as an All-Star. Recently, the Duke grad was featured on the cover of USA Lacrosse Magazine as he prepared to play for Team USA this summer at the 2023 World Lacrosse Men's Championship. In the Championship less than a week ago, Giles-Harris and the US took home gold on July 1 and the new Dolphins assistant coach was named to the tournaments All-World Team for his dominant display. Now, the decorated lacrosse player will coach at Jacksonville.
"I am excited to join Coach Galloway and his staff at Jacksonville University," said Giles-Harris. "Coach Woodson and Hampton University provided me an excellent stepping stone for my career, and I hope to continue learning from one of the best staffs in the country."
Giles-Harris played in 81 games across five seasons at Duke and was a two-year team captain of the Blue Devils. During his career, he won the 2021 William F. Schmeisser Award, which is awarded annually to the nation's top defenseman. He was also a three-time All-American, twice first team and once third team, and a two-time All-ACC selection. He currently holds the Duke program record for caused turnovers with 89 and scooped up 147 ground balls during his days as a collegiate player. After his collegiate career, Giles-Harris was drafted third overall in the PLL College Draft by Chrome Lacrosse Club.
Not to be overshadowed, Giles-Harris was a standout in the classroom as well, as he was named to the All-ACC Academic Team twice and the ACC Academic Honor Roll three times.
A native of Nyack, New York and a graduate of St. Joseph Regional (New Jersey) High School, Giles-Harris was a four-year letter winner in lacrosse where he scooped up 511 ground balls in his career and was a 2016 Under Armour All-American pick.

Information from Syracuse Athletics:
Widely considered to be the greatest player in lacrosse history, Gary Gait has been hired as the Roy D. Simmons Jr. Head Men's Lacrosse Coach at Syracuse on Monday, June 7, 2021.
Gait became the fifth head coach for the 107th year of Syracuse men's lacrosse, replacing Hall of Fame head coach John Desko, who announced his retirement on that same day. He took the job after a 14-year stint as the head coach of the Orange's women's lacrosse program.
Gait's remarkable playing career features a winning theme at every level. A three-time NCAA Champion, Gait led Syracuse's most dominant stretch in program history, losing just one game in three seasons from 1988-90. He is a two-time recipient of the Lt. Raymond J. Enners Award, presented annually to the nation's most outstanding player, and was the NCAA Championship Most Outstanding Player on a team considered to be the greatest ever assembled in college lacrosse.
At the professional level as a player, Gait has won three NLL titles (1991, 1994, 1995), three MLL titles, (2001, 2002, 2005), three Mann Cups (1991, 1997, 1999), the Heritage Cup (2004) and the ILF World Championship (2006).
In his career, Gait is a 10-time NCAA Champion, including seven titles as an assistant coach with the Maryland women's lacrosse program (1995-01) and his three championships as a player. Gait took over as Syracuse's head women's lacrosse coach in 2007 and has turned the team into a national powerhouse, reaching three national title games, including in the 2021 season.
As a collegiate coach, Gait helped elevate programs to new heights. After a dominant run with the Maryland women's lacrosse team as an assistant, Gait turned the Orange women into an immediate powerhouse, reaching the program's first Championship Weekend in his inaugural season with the team (2008).
Under Gait, every class has reached at least one final four in their time on campus, including national championship game appearances in 2012, 2014 and 2021. He has also mentored some of the game's greatest players, including four Tewaaraton Award finalists Katie Rowan, Michelle Tumolo, Alyssa Murray and Kayla Treanor.
Prior to taking over the Orange women's program, he spent two seasons as the head coach of the Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League. In that tenure, he led the Mammoth to a pair of playoff appearances and a 2006 league championship.
He also coached four seasons in Major League Lacrosse with the Baltimore Bayhawks and won a pair of titles in 2002 and 2005.
Gait and his wife Nicole have two children who also played college lacrosse. Their son, Braedon, played at Princeton, while their daughter, Taylor, played at Syracuse from 2013-19.

"John Crawley, a four-year standout for the Johns Hopkins men’s lacrosse team from 2014-17 and most recently an assistant coach at Lehigh, was appointed the Blue Jays’ offensive coordinator on June 2, 2022. In addition to running the Blue Jay offense, Crawley also serves as the program’s recruiting coordinator.
Crawley’s return to Homewood came after spending the previous three years as an assistant coach at Lehigh University. At Lehigh, Crawley served as the offensive coordinator of a Mountain Hawk offense that ranked among the nation’s best throughout his tenure. Lehigh ranked 15th in the nation in scoring offense during the COVID-shortened 2020 season (14.00) and jumped into the top 10 in 2021 (14.08), when the Mountain Hawks advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2013.
Overall, during Crawley’s 33 games as Lehigh’s offensive coordinator, the Mountain Hawks averaged just under 13 goals per game and the three single-season scoring averages of 14.08, 14.00 and 11.40 rank as the three highest averages at Lehigh in the last 20 years. Prior to Crawley’s arrival, Lehigh had not averaged more than 11 goals per game over the course of a season since 2000.
Crawley began his coaching career at Notre Dame in 2018 and helped the Irish to the ACC Tournament title and a trip to the NCAA Tournament. At Notre Dame, he worked closely with the offense and faceoff unit. He then moved to Colgate for one season (2019) before joining the staff at Lehigh.
A two-time captain and two-time Honorable Mention USILA All-American, Crawley played in all 64 games during his four-year career at Johns Hopkins and started the final 30 as a junior and senior. He totaled 70 career goals and 30 assists, including career highs of 21 goals and 11 assists for 32 points as a sophomore in 2015, when he helped lead the Blue Jays to the NCAA Semifinals and the inaugural Big Ten Tournament title. He earned a spot on the 2015 NCAA All-Tournament team after a four-goal performance against Maryland in the NCAA Semifinals.
In addition to his time at Johns Hopkins, Crawley has also played professional lacrosse in both Major League Lacrosse and the Premier Lacrosse League. He was selected 33rd overall by the Charlotte Hounds in the 2017 MLL Draft and played two seasons for the Hounds. He rang up 26 goals and 10 assists in the MLL before moving to Atlas LC in the PLL, where he has played four seasons."

LARS TIFFANY ON DICKSON
2023 – “The question all summer: what position will Xander play in his final season at UVA? He has played the vast majority of his time in the midfield, creating offense with his quickness and finishing with a Houdini-like ability to create cracks and scoring windows when none seem apparent. Now, with an opening on the starting attack unit, Xander presents an alluring option due to his knack for hitting the net in a variety of creative ways and due to his passion for stripping a ball-carrying defenseman with his trademark one-handed wrap check.” 2022 – “Flourishing in his fourth year in Charlottesville… Bringing an edginess and toughness that are making him much more difficult to contain… Slickest of the slick, the creativity he unleashes can be startling… Playing a bigger role each season, he is garnering more and more attention from both us and the opposition.” 2021 – “Has an extensive repertoire of tools in his offensive kit … and continues to add to it … slippery … difficult to anticipate his next move … creates scoring opportunities for both his teammates and himself.” 2020 – “Another weapon in our offensive arsenal, Xander’s ability to create opportunities from behind the goal was employed in most games during his first year. With his advanced skill set of scoring, despite little to no angle and good vision, Xander is a tactician in our two-man game. His transformation into a more durable, reliable member of our program has him poised to earn an ever-growing number of game-day minutes.” 2019 – “The traits that are difficult to coach are found in this first-year: savvy lacrosse knowledge and maneuvers near the crease that generate quality possessions for our offense.”

From Jacksonville Athletics:
"Entering his six season leading the Dolphins in 2022, John Galloway was named head coach of the Jacksonville University men’s lacrosse team in June 2016.
The 2018 and 2022 Southern Conference Coach of the Year has transcended the team’s culture and brought national attention to the program, with substaintial growth year-by-year, both on and off of the field.
One of the young legends in the sport, Galloway joined the Dolphins following a four-year stint as an assistant coach at Providence College. While at Providence, Galloway helped coach Peter Badgley to Big East Goalkeeper of the Year and All-Big East First Team honors. It was the first time in program history that a Friar had earned the accolade. He also mentored Jarrod Neumann to an All-Big East First Team selection.
A native of Syracuse, N.Y., Galloway played goalkeeper for Syracuse University and ended his college career with an NCAA-record 59 wins while playing a record 3,776 minutes. A two-time First Team All-American at the position and the only goalie in Orange history to earn the honor twice, Galloway is also the only goalie in NCAA history to win national championships in his freshman and sophomore years. A Tewaaraton Award Finalist, he also earned the Ensign C. Markland Kelly, Jr. Award for the nation’s best goalkeeper in 2010 and 2011. In addition to his on-field presence, Galloway was a two-time national Academic All-American and was twice named Big East All-Academic.
In his first season as a professional with the Rochester Rattlers (Major League Lacrosse), he was named Rookie of the Year, and twice earned Goaltender of the Year honors (2014, 2016). A two-time MLL All-Star in 2015 and 2016, Galloway helped lead the Rattlers to the three MLL Championship games in 2014, 2015, and 2018. From 2019-21, he played in goal for the Chrome of the PLL, announcing his retirement at the conclusion of the 2021 season.
In addition to playing professionally, he captained the U.S. Men’s National Team that won gold at the FIL World Championships in Netanya, Israel in 2018 and was an alternate member of Team USA in 2014."

"Ryan Polley was named the inaugural head men's lacrosse coach at Boston University on June 21, 2012, and the program has continued to reach new heights in his nine seasons at the helm.
Polley led the Terriers to their first-ever Patriot League regular-season and tournament titles during a historic 2022 season, culminating in the program's first trip to the NCAA Tournament.

Polley earned his second Patriot League Coach of the Year award and was named the New England Division I Coach of the Year for the third time in six seasons.
During Polley's tenure at BU, he has coached seven All-Americans, including two-time honoree Chris Gray, 26 All-Patriot League selections, six Major League Lacrosse draft picks, three Premier Lacrosse League draft choices and a pair of National Lacrosse League draftees. In addition, eight of his players have earned USILA Scholar All-America accolades and he has mentored nine Academic All-Patriot League choices."

The Lions became an NCAA Division 2 member during the 2013-2014 school year. Lindenwood currently supports 29 sports at the NCAA level, which is one of the largest athletic departments in the country. Lindenwood is set to begin its reclassification process to the NCAA Division I level during the 2022-23 academic year.
“Lindenwood is thrilled to join the Ohio Valley Conference as we apply to transition to NCAA Division I. This opportunity will elevate our entire university and provide championship-level experiences our student athletes deserve.”-Lindenwood President, Dr. John Porter

Since transitioning over to NCAA D2, the men’s program has accumulated a record of 71-36. The Lions are set to host the 2022 NCAA Division II Women’s Lacrosse National Championship in May.

From Denver Pioneers Athletics:
"One of collegiate lacrosse's legendary coaches, 2015 USILA Division I National Coach of the Year Bill Tierney captured his NCAA-record seventh National Championship in 2015, becoming the first coach to win National Championships in charge of two different programs while leading the University of Denver to the program's first national title in just his sixth year in charge of the Pioneers.
Tierney took over the reins of the University of Denver men's lacrosse program in July 2009 after serving as the head coach at Princeton since the 1988 season. In his 13 seasons at DU, Tierney has amassed an impressive 157-54 overall record and an even more impressive 65-7 conference mark. The Denver bench boss became the second coach in Division I men's lacrosse history to reach 400 career wins, doing so 62 games faster than longtime friend and competitor John Danowski.
The Pioneers have reached Championship Weekend five times in the last 11 tournaments, including the 2015 National Champion Pioneers, the first program to sit atop the national plateau from a state not sharing a boarder with the shores of the Atlantic Ocean.
Tierney's impact on the student-athletes at Denver has resulted in 11 USILA First Team All-Americans (program's first 11), nine USILA Second Team All-Americans, six USILA Third Team All-Americans, 25 USILA All-America Honorable Mention selections, 19 USILA Scholar All-Americans, one ECAC Offensive Player of the Year, four BIG EAST Attackmen of the Year, six BIG EAST Midfielders of the Year, two ECAC Rookie of the Year award winners, one ECAC Defensive Player of the Year, three BIG EAST Defensive Players of the Year and Specialist of the Year, two BIG EAST Goalkeepers of the Year, 56 all-conference first team selections and 29 all-conference second team selections."

Quint sits down with JHU head coach Peter Milliman.
"Peter Milliman completed his first season as the head coach at Johns Hopkins in 2021. Named the 23rd head coach in program history on April 27, 2020, Milliman came to Homewood after serving as the Richard M. Moran Head Coach of Men’s Lacrosse at Cornell University for three seasons.
In his first season at Johns Hopkins, Milliman guided the Blue Jays to their third consecutive appearance in the Big Ten Championship game, where they narrowly fell, 12-10, to top-ranked and eventual national runner-up Maryland. Johns Hopkins entered the tournament as the number six seed and upset third-seeded Penn State (15-7) and second-seeded and sixth-ranked Rutgers (12-10) to advance to the title game. In the process, Johns Hopkins became the first number six seed in Division I men's lacrosse history to advance to its conference title game; in the history of the Big Ten, the Blue Jays became just the third six-seed in any sport to play in the conference championship game." - Johns Hopkins Athletics

From Loyola Greyhounds Athletics:
"The 2023 season will be the 18th as head coach at Loyola for Charley Toomey, a school where he has put his stamp on the Loyola men’s lacrosse program as a disciplined, tough, athletic and skillful unit. The Greyhounds ascended to the top of college lacrosse in 2012, winning Loyola’s first NCAA Division I Championship.
Toomey has directed the Greyhounds to an even 108 wins, an average of 12.2 per season since 2012, and he enters the 2023 campaign with a 168-85 career record in his first 17 years at Loyola. Early in the 2016 season, Toomey became the second coach in program history to reach and cross the 100-win plateau. He stands second on the program’s all-time wins chart behind his college coach, Dave Cottle (181-70, 1983-2001).
As a head coach, Toomey has coached 51 USILA All-Americans, 93 all-conference selections, 21 conference positional or players or rookies of the year, a Tewwaraton Award winner and five finalists and 28 USILA Scholar All-Americans.
Of the award winners, Pat Spencer became the most decorated player in program history during his 2019 senior season when he set the NCAA career record for assists and finished second all-time in points. He was the school’s first winner of the Tewaaraton and the USILA Player of the Year Awards and became the school’s first four-time All-American.
In 2019, Toomey was named to the coaching staff of the U.S. Men’s National Team as an assistant coach. He will serve with Team USA in preparation for, and competition in, the 2023 World Championships in San Diego. He was also enshrined in the USLacrosse Chesapeake Chapter Hall of Fame in January 2019 for his accomplishments as a player and a coach."

The Terps are the first team in NCAA lacrosse history to go 18-0 in a season. Owen Prybylski scored the Terps’ 10th pole goal of the season. They got 33 goals from non-offensive personnel. They attacked opponents in all phases. They owned restarts, faceoffs, and the substitution phase. If an opponent offered them a crack or window of opportunity, they exploited it. The Terps set an NCAA record for most assists in a season (205) with nine on Monday.
There were many reasons to fear the turtle.
Where does the 2022 Maryland team fit in history? After the dog pile, let the debate begin.
I’ll let it marinate and dissect the data and personnel later this summer after the rings are ordered. Without question, their season merits comparison with 1976 Cornell, 1984 Johns Hopkins, 1991 North Carolina, 1990 Syracuse, 1997 Princeton, and 2006 Virginia.

We Showed Baltimore
"Swezey recounts Cornell's dramatic games against traditional powers such as Maryland, Navy, and Johns Hopkins, and gets into the strategy and psychology that Moran brought to the team. We Showed Baltimore describes how the game of lacrosse was changing—its style of play, equipment, demographics, and geography. Pulling from interviews with more than ninety former coaches and players from Cornell and its rivals, We Showed Baltimore paints a vivid picture of lacrosse in the 1970s and how Moran and the Big Red helped create the game of today."

This month we take a look inside the Spire Academy with managing director Ted Meekma and Director of Lacrosse Lelan Rogers. Throughout the show we discuss what exactly the Spire Academy is, the mission of the program, and what life inside the academy looks like for student-athletes.
Spire Lacrosse At the Spire Academy they have several high caliber sport offerings, bolstered by the recent addition of boy's lacrosse. Who better to run this "new" sport than a former division one stalwart with midwest ties in Lelan Rogers.
Spire AcademySPIRE Academy Lacrosse programs are ideal for serious lacrosse athletes looking for an intense training environment to prepare for the next level of competition. The Academy serves college-bound high school athletes, as well as high school graduates looking to train/compete for an additional year while seeking the best possible college scholarship opportunities.

On this weeks episode we discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly, that is the NCAA transfer portal.
https://open.spotify.com/episode/2GLMYdkte5HNItpQhYEBWd?si=5ab7419d4ee444df What is the transfer portal? An ESPN article written last year had an excellent definition:
Jeff Borzello, ESPNEssentially, it's a database of every player who has interest in transferring from his or her current school.
In other words its like a stripped down dating app where players who are unhappy with their current situation can let the world know as much, and reopen their recruitment. There are several reasons as to why a player would enter the portal and we discuss a few of them on the show:
- Unhappy with coach, playing time, team dynamic
- School doesn't have the major you decide to persue
- You have remaining eligibility but want to finish by pursuing grad school somewhere else
- Family dynamics change and you wish to be closer to home
- The coach leaves and a new coach has a system that doesn't fit you
We're not advocating that any of these reasons are right or wrong, but we do agree that there are times where transferring makes sense, and there are times when its better to stick it out.
Last Week In our previous episode we took a deep dive into the impact of the National Lacrosse Leagues (NLL) tv deal with espn/tsn and what it means for the future of the league. We also discussed the new(ish) olympic sixes format from World Lacrosse and gave our honest opinions on what works and what doesnt.
At the end of the day, we love the idea of making lacrosse more accessible and getting it into the Olympics, but we’re not going to blindly accept Sixes in its current form. With a few tweaks, the game can be even better. Let’s see what they come up with over the next few years, but it’s a solid start.

Jim Calder has lived a lacrosse life. His experiences as a player, fan, coach, and parent are the stuff of legends. I recently sat down with Jim to discuss his latest book, Tales of a Lacrosse Troubadour.
About Jim Jim Calder, born in Canada but raised in New York, grew up as one of the only Canadians to play purely field lacrosse. He took his talents to Hobart College where he was a 2x All-American and 2x National Champion. In 1978 he would be named to the Canadian national field team, a team that would win the World Championships. Calder's accomplishments in the game are to long to list but the fact that he is in both the Canadian Lacrosse Association and Hobart College's Hall of Fames tells you just how special his life have been.
About the Book
This is Jim's third book related to lacrosse, following in the footsteps of "Lacrosse the Ancient Game" and "Women Play Lacrosse". The purpose and theme of the book are best described in an excerpt from Jim below:
Jim CalderThis book is a product of the pandemic. We all miss our sport and it has been painful to deal with the realities of our time and what they’ve done to the game being played. Hopefully, we are almost through the worst. There has been a positive side as I was able to devote hundreds and hundreds of hours to the project. It kept me occupied when I needed something to help me deal with the drudgery of the days. It has been medicine.

Last Week's Episode Last week we talked about the good, the bad, and the ugly side of the transfer portal. For any player, coach, or parent that is thinking about transferring we highly recommend the listen. We outline situations where a transfer may be the right move while also recognizing that there are plenty of reasons why staying put may be better.

On this week’s episode of Going Offsides the guys celebrate the NLL television deal and give their honest opinions about Olympic Sixes lacrosse.
When the push for the Olympics was discussed we, like the rest of the lacrosse world, were excited about the prospect of having our sport displayed on the worlds biggest stage.
https://twitter.com/NLL/status/1452998628591734785
NLL Deal:
Earlier this year the National Lacrosse League (NLL) obtained what appeared to be the strongest television broadcast deal in the leagues history, partnering with famous Canadian program, TSN. The only issue with the deal was that it was limited to Canadian distribution leaving the rest of the world waiting for a viewing solution. Tuesday the league announced the newest and presumably biggest deal in the NLL history securing ESPN as a distribution partner for the entire globe outside of Canada. Ten games will be broadcast on linear television (ESPN/ESPN2) while over 150 additional games will be available on ESPN+. With media and sponsorships accounting for over 60% of the leagues revenue, I’m sure that this deal will add to the bottom line nicely, especially when you consider that the league has never had this kind of meaningful income from broadcast partners. The question now becomes where does Lacrosse pro field league, the PLL, hitch its cart for their new streaming deal. Unless something crazy happens, we all assume its NBC or ESPN.
Sixes:
The long and short of it is that while it looks fun to play, we didn’t particularly enjoy watching it. The product lacks some of the mechanics we feel are necessary to make the game more enjoyable to watch, broadcast, and officiate. We give our suggestions in the show, take a listen to hear our plan. At the end of the day we love the idea of making lacrosse more accessible, getting it into the Olympics, but we’re not going to blindly accept sixes in its current form. With a few tweaks the game can be even better, lets see what they come up with over the next few years, but a solid start.

It's an Atlas filled Friday here at LAS as we had Atlas LC midfielder Dan Bucaro on the Going Offsides podcast, while contributor Josh Russell made the case for Atlas Head Coach Ben Rubeor as coach of the year earlier today.
Who is Dan Bucaro? Ward Melville - Georgetown The Ward Melville product had an impressive high school career which included a state and national championship (including 57 goals and 30 assists) in 2013. He was a 2x All-American and 3x All-County award winner. He then went on to play at Georgetown where he was a major part of the programs resurgence. As a Hoya he had 226 points in 57 career games, and finished his senior season as an inside lacrosse/USILA All-American and the Big East Attackmen of the Year.
MLL - PLL Bucaro was selected 9th overall by the Denver Outlaws in the 2019 MLL draft. He had an incredible season the MLL bubble which ultimately led to his 3rd overall selection by the Atlas LC in the PLL entry draft. As a member of the Atlas Dan has been one of the most consistent options on a high powered offense, as he's secured a point in every game this season.
Show Notes We start the show by talking with Dan about his recent experience trying out for the USA 6ixes roster in Lake Placid. Having played two professional games last weekend, he immediately traveled to play another three days of lacrosse in New York. He offers some great insight into the new format and how he feels about the pace and strategy.
We then talk with him about his time at Ward Melville and Georgetown and how those places have molded him into the professional he is today.
Lastly, we discuss life as a pro and how he's been able to balance his day job as an underwriter with his love for lacrosse and a pro playing career.

Johns Hopkins Schedule JHU dropped a nugget in July by showing us the incredible schedule they will have this upcoming school year.
https://twitter.com/jhumenslacrosse/status/1420834965319688192
Fall 2021 "Johns Hopkins will host a six-team scrimmage day on Sunday, October 24 at Homewood Field. Along with the Blue Jays, teams schedule to compete at Homewood that day include Harvard, High Point, Hobart, Richmond and Yale. The full schedule for the day will be available in September and the event will support the HEADstrong Foundation." - Ernie Larossa - Director of Athletic Communications - Johns Hopkins
Spring 2022 In what I anticipate to be the toughest schedule in all of college lacrosse this spring, Hopkins has released it's out of conference opponents: Delaware, Georgetown, Jacksonville, Loyola, Navy, North Carolina, Princeton, Syracuse, Towson and Virginia.
This is a sink or swim schedule that likely includes only 1 team outside of the top 20, and we don't know who that will be yet. Combined with a tough Big Ten schedule, this year will really season the young Blue Jays and prepare them for post season play.
Coaching Hires Gettysburg: Hired long time Penn State assistant Peter Toner who seems like a perfect candidate for the storied D3 program.

Penn State: To replace Peter Toner who left for Gettysburg, the Nittany Lions tabbed former Colgate head coach, and current Hill School / Whipsnakes LC coach Mike Murphy. This is a huge get for coach Tambroni who was able to quickly fill the open slot with one of the games best minds.
Denison: The midwest D3 power made a long term play and selected who we assume will be the coach for many years in Eric Koch. Coach Koch comes from Washington & Lee and is a proven tactician and recruiter.

On this weeks podcast Nick and Ryan joined by intern Nick "Peaches" Pietras take a Rabil soundclip and overreact creating city based teams.
WHAT IF THE PLL WENT CITY BASED? So it started off by us watching Paul Rabil on Late Night with Seth Myers:
https://youtu.be/MqXhgOLaEXU?t=340
At one point Seth asks why the PLL is a touring model and after some thorough explanation from Rabil, Paul did mention that in the future it could be a city-based model. This all of the info we needed as we then jumped into discussions of which teams would fit where.
Each of us had our own motivation for picking locations, some of us based it on team identity/mascot/logo while others did it based on roster makeup and head coaches. We even took into account which former MLL teams could possibly return and does that impact what cities we put the current 8 teams?

The movie Star So in the early 2000's, Scott, an accomplished field lacrosse player somehow found his way on a plan to shoot a few scenes in a Japanese film called "Drugstore Girl". The movie is about a Japanese girl who loves ends up homeless but happens to love lacrosse. A group of men that help her navigate the streets see he passion for lacrosse and as a sign of respect learn the game, ultimately, and I know how crazy this sounds, challenging a group of Iroquois players to a game. Scott and a group of friends traveled to Japan to shoot scenes for the movie.
The Player Is it amazing that Scott Burnam was in a Japanese movie? Yes. However, what's more amazing to me is that he played in 5x world championships for the Iroquois nationals. A Cornell '91 graduate, Scott went on to play in the world games 5x, coach the Iroquois U19 team 2x, and eventually take on the role of GM. We look forward to seeing Scott's involvement in the Iroquois program moving forward.

Jason Levesque is the current D1 Women's Head Coach at St.Bonaventure University. He has had multiple coaching stops in his career, including as an assistant for the Canadian Men's Field team.
Talking Sixes Global Significance Sixes lacrosse has been in lacrosse news a lot this week, with the announcement of World Lacrosse's new discipline on Tuesday, the lacrosse industry was torn on how to react. Those of us with international ties understand how hard other countries are working to grow the game and how beneficial Sixes will be in that growth. As Jason said during our interview, the eyeballs an Olympic broadcast would provide creates a new wave of potential fans, players, and coaches.
Building a Sixes Roster Full disclosure, neither of us know exactly what the roster limitations will be but we do understand that the rosters will be capped and much smaller than the world games roster of 23. With that being said, we dove a little deeper into what types of players we see being beneficial: traditional 2 way midfielders, guys who grew up playing more attack but transitioned to d-mid in college (happens a lot), BOX players. One unique situation we cant wait to watch play out is Blaze Riorden. Blaze is a world class field goalie and an exceptional forward in the NLL. This means that if you plan to carry 2 goalies, which you should, Blaze could be taking runs out of the cage adding important depth in this new fast paced style of lacrosse. The main point here is, teams will be made up of generalists, guys that can do a little bit of everything (guys like Jeremy Thompson, Zach Currier, Kyle Harrison).
Becoming a Women's Coach With an impressive resume as men's coach (Canisius, Alma, Adams State, IMG, Team Canada) what led Jay to becoming a D1 women's head coach? A chance opportunity while working at the IMG academy led to Jay having an increased role helping the women's teams. Over time he grew a stronger and deeper appreciation for the women's game until a familiar friend and mentor (Randy Mearns) brought the vacancy at St.Bonaventure to his attention. It appears Levesque is all in on the women's game and hopes that others will learn to appreciate the game the same way he did.
Jason Levesque was hired in 2020

On this weeks Going Offsides podcast Nick sat down with legendary junior college coach Chuck Wilbur of Onondaga Community College.
CHUCK WILBUR : OCC LACROSSE
Who is Coach Wilbur? After 17 years as the OCC lacrosse coach, Chuck Wilbur moved to the role of retention coordinator at OCC. During his time as head coach he built the Lazers into a nationally recognized and respected lacrosse program. Under his guidance the program set multiple records and had multiple impressive acheivements:
-a 266-15 record
-winning 17 consecutive Mid-State Athletic Conference Championships
-14 consecutive NJCAA Region III Championships, and 11 NJCAA National Championships
-longest winning streak in college lacrosse history at 107 games
-NJCAA Lacrosse Coaches Association National Coach of the Year in 2006, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013 ,2017,2018
Future Pro's While his resume on the field is second to none, what's just as impressive was coach's ability to move players onto the next level.
https://www.sunyocc.edu/news/chuck-wilbur-moving-new-roleWilbur’s efforts both on and off the field have led to extraordinary success for his players: 25 have become professional lacrosse players; 61 have transferred to Division I colleges; 96 have transferred to Division II colleges; 101 have transferred to Division III colleges; and those that have transferred have won a combined 34 NCAA National Championships.
Let us not forget It may be easy to remember Chuck as one of the greatest coaches of all time and completely forget that he had a terrific career before even stepping foot on the OCC campus.
He attended Herkimer County Community College in 1996/97 where he was a two time All-American. He then transferred to 4 year Hobart College where he was the team MVP and leading scorer his senior year.

This week Nick and Ryan team up to discuss the newly announced lacrosse hall of fame and breakdown to the men's D1 conference tournaments.
CONFERENCE TOURNAMENTS, HALL OF FAME : GOING OFFSIDES Hall of Fame With the merger between the MLL and PLL many new initiatives have taken place to recognize and celebrate the history of professional field lacrosse. On Thursday the PLL announced that they would be starting the Professional Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
https://twitter.com/PremierLacrosse/status/1390401363998253058
What you need to know:
There are three primary criteria to be eligible for the HOF:
1- Must be retired from professional lacrosse for at least three years
2- Must have played at least 5 seasons in either the PLL or MLL (or both)
3- Must receive at least 75% approval from the 20 person voting committee (15 votes)
It's also interesting to note that it appears the first HOF class will consist of 3 Attack, 3 Midfielders, 3 Defense/LSM, 1 Specialist (SSDM/FOGO), and 1 goalie. Essentially, the first class will be considered the greatest team of all time (on paper).
D1 Conference Tournaments After a busy weekend of conference play last week, which determined seeds for this weeks conference tournaments, we had an exceptional lacrosse day full of meaningful games.

Dwayne Stewart is a former Albany Dane and current head coach at SUNY-New Paltz. This week he speaks about his coaching career and the mentors who have shaped his lacrosse journey.
DWAYNE STEWART - GOING OFFSIDES Coaching Through Covid Building a program isn't an easy task, a task made more difficult in the face of a global pandemic. Coach Stewart believes relationships between players and coaches are built primarily on the field and in the locker room, two places where contact has been severely limited this year. To combat this he's placed an increased importance on communication, wither it be through email/text/zoom he's making sure he is a constant presence in his players lives.
Cant Play? Study In the face of great adversity as players, the Hawks players have doubled down on academics achieving an impressive 3.12 GPA this past semester. While Dwayne values the experience of an in person class, he's proud of what his team has achieved virtually.
Mentorship Wither it be working as an assistant for podcast co-host Ryan Kuhn, playing for and learning from Albany head coach Scott Marr, or leaning on Paul Carcaterra to help get recruited, Dwayne has been blessed by being surrounded by great lacrosse people.
D3 Options Coach Stewarts team, SUNY- New Paltz proudly plays in NCAA Division 3. For more information on D3 lacrosse click here.

D1 expansion is one of, it not the most, talked about topics in all of lacrosse. JP joined the guys on this weeks pod to explain how it works.
What's the hold up? No matter how bad we want teams to go D1, the sad truth is that for most schools it doesn't make fiscal sense. In fact, if you have a football team on campus adding a men's program becomes increasingly difficult. Having an exceptional club team like Michigan and Utah did wasn't the deciding factor, it was money. In Utah's case it took an actual multi-millionaire to help push the program through. Of course, he didn't do it alone, but lets not pretend this happens with out his help.
Utah was the latest Power 5 program to go D1 What's More Likely? I asked JP straight up, "what's more likely to happen first, the addition of one power 5 men's team, or the addition of 5 mid majors". He swiftly answered 5 mid majors.
More D1 Expansion JP has an extremely informational thread about D1 expansion pinned to his twitter feed. Be sure to listen to the episode to hear more about this interesting subject.

Last Week Christina Esposito is determined to leave the game of lacrosse better than she found it.
There are so many different ways to improve the game: better educating our coaches, opening up our athletes to positive mental health practices, improving the youth game, and growing the women’s game through exposure.
Christina Esposito is trying to do all of these things. A former college athlete at Northwestern, she knows better than most the physical pain and the mental resolve that todays college athletes need to not only survive but thrive. Mental and physical health are at the forefront of the message she’s trying to deliver.

Coach is fresh off, I mean kind of, a national championship season with the Gamecocks. Being the 2019 champs means they are still, technically, the reigning national champions, eventhough he doesnt like to think of it that way. Having been a UMBC grad under legendary coach Don Zimmerman, coach Harkey knows what it takes to build and maintain a high caliber program, and I have no doubt USC will do the same.

When you are the preeminent university in the world, success is the standard. However, as of late, Harvard's lacrosse program hasn't matched the university's illustrious education.
https://embed.acast.com/5c6dce2547d66b5d77eaee95/602ebd99e17bc010d64c9131?cover=true&ga=false
Enter Gerry Byrne.
Well known in the lacrosse world as a defensive guru and elite recruiter, he's more than ready to right the ship. Coach Byrne spent the better part of two decades molding the nations top defenses at Notre Dame.
I dont know if he has a green thumb, but his fingerprints are all over the PLL Redwoods and their defensive identity.
Why Harvard, and why now? Gerry always seemed to be a candidate for any high profile job over the past decade, but a combination of things kept him in South Bend. Now that all of the Byrne children are post university, it made the most sense to pursue a head coaching position, and what better place to start than at Harvard.
https://twitter.com/ByrneCrimson/status/1359147931065016323
To compare coach Byrne to his Harvard predecessors would be unfair, I don't know how they built their cultures, how they recruited, or their coaching styles, but I do know his. He brings a relentless passion and intensity to his mission of elevating Harvard Lacrosse to the top. A culture that places importance on the weight of a Harvard education, a coaching style that teaches the why and promotes simplicity, and recruiter who's ability to identify talent that fits his program that is unmatched.
https://youtu.be/kH0DPVC-xLM
It was an absolute pleasure to learn about how the process of renewing Harvard Lacrosse had been thus far, despite monumental speed bumps with Covid essentially cancelling his first two seasons. It was also incredible to learn the intricacies of how he teaches defense and the value he strives to provide his players off of the field.
I don't know when Harvard will reach championship weekend, but I know I'm not betting against them.

This week we have an absolute treat for you. His voice is immediately recognizable to anyone who has watched championship weekend over the past decade or so, but that's not what defines him. Anish Shroff is much more than a broadcaster, he's a father, a friend, a husband, and a proud Syracuse grad. Based on his story, it's completely reasonable to say he didn't choose lacrosse, lacrosse chose him.
Our conversation with Anish was insightful, educational, and just an overall treat. Lacrosse fans can rest easy knowing that he, amongst others (Paul Carcaterra and Quint Kessenich), are the voices of lacrosse. Last Week Eli Gobrecht is the product of D3 Ithaca College, and he’s damn proud of it. His time at Ithaca prepared him, although be it through an untraditional path, for life as a pro lacrosse player. In this week’s episode, he sits down with the guys from Going Offsides to discuss what it’s like being a “full-time” professional player and what exactly that means. Later in the show, Eli talks about the D1 or bust mentality that a lot of recruits have and if that attitude is good for lacrosse. We also hear his opinions on the PLL/MLL merger, having been one of the first MLL guys to transition after the first PLL season. Eli Gobrecht is incredibly grateful for his time playing in Denver but was attracted to the aggressiveness and progressiveness of the PLL.

This week continue our PLL Merger fantasies and talk about what the league might look like moving forward, including some interesting ideas about a possible hybrid tour model. Then we talk to Tom Herbert, the brain behind the Flex Force. What is a flex force?
Tom describes it best, "for years, lacrosse players were forced to come up with their own methods of widening their lacrosse stick heads. While rudimentary tools such as: tuna cans, hockey pucks, and softballs were most commonly used, none of these provided reassurance that the head was being properly expanded. Not only was the distance of expansion unknown, but the item used to put pressure against the inner walls of the head may not have been sturdy enough or been able to provide uniform pressure. In short, there simply wasn’t a proper tool for the job………until now.
FlexForce has been specifically designed, tested and manufactured to correctly and uniformly widen a lacrosse head back to a game-legal, desired distance.
No more shots in the dark. FlexForce gives you the edge you need."

What a treat we had last week. Not only did we continue the awesome start to Season 2, but we also got to sit down with one of the greatest players in the games history, Mark Millon. Mark is known for so many things in the lacrosse world; countless players have attended his camps, watched his highlights, or heard stories of the ’98 world championships. He helped innovate how we teach the game, helped develop one of the sports biggest brands, and continues to innovate clinics and camps through Project 9 which he cofounded with Paul Rabil. This episode is an all-timer.
To follow Mark on social media check out his twitter/IG @markmillon.
We also featured LVL Lacrosse. LVL Lacrosse is the brain child of Muamer Razic. Muamer came to the USA as a refugee from Bosnia, and with the help of a dedicated team, has built LVL lacrosse. The mission of LVL is "to help you reimagine your game by providing you with unique player enhancement tools designed to take your game to a whole new level." It's safe to say they are well on their way as the first round of their new training and playing products has already sold out!
Next Week:
Next week, we welcome NLL player and all-around good guy Latrell Harris. Latrell talks about his journey from playing high school lacrosse to being drafted at just 18 years old by the Toronto Rock.

What does Season 2 have to offer? Not only will we continue to have fantastic guests on the show, but we've also added a new intro (shout out to Chazz Woodson), we have a new home at www.laxallstars.com/goingoffsides (great place to get 20% off lacrosse products), and we have a custom Growing The Game shirt in the LAS Shop. We run the show with little to no ads, which means we'd really appreciate your support by visiting the shop or using our codes!
Last Week:
For our Season 1 finale, we welcomed Hampton Head Coach and Former MLL/LXM Pro, Chazz Woodson. Coach has spent the last 15 years teaching and coaching in Florida while having one of the more interesting pro careers. A veteran of both the MLL and LXM pro tour, along with several tournaments, Chazz has been a figure in the lacrosse world for many years. During our conversation, he speaks about his current role and Hampton University, his education at Brown, playing professionally, and he shares with us many details that I don’t think the average lacrosse fan would ever know. Chazz has been involved in so many different roles in lacrosse, we were tempted to call him the most interesting man in the sport.
On episode 24, we spoke to the social media myth ECD Greg. Greg Kinneally and his brother, Mike, are the brains behind the ECD Lacrosse. ECD has grown from Greg selling his custom string jobs on eBay to one of the sport's most exciting brands. In the past, you may have known ECD for their mesh, but it has quickly and thoughtfully expanded into other products, such as heads, shafts, and apparel. When Greg isn’t working at HQ, he is probably on a lacrosse field somewhere combining his passion for lacrosse with his passion for video editing. The product of these passions are often seen online as highlight reels and even ECD commercials. Check them out at www.ecdlax.com.

WOW… We started this podcast in July as a hobby, without a guest or any plans to bring guests on right away. Fast forward 4 months and we’re at episode 22, we’ve had incredible guests, and today is a very special one for both of us. It’s no coincidence that on episode 22 we brought in a Syracuse legend, and while he never wore 22 he’s certainly harassed a bunch of them in his day, Ric Beardsley.
Ric has countless accolades to his name, he was a 4x All-American 2x National Champion at Syracuse, is currently the head coach at CBA (an elite boy’s high school program in upstate New York), a master clinician, and he recently became an assistant coach for ATLAS LC of the PLL.
Talking with Coach Ric was one of easiest and most enlightening experiences I’ve had in my lacrosse life, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Who is Justin Skaggs? If the name sounds familiar that’s because the former stylin strings guru and uber skilled wood stick maker is no stranger to the LAS platform. He is using the Wayward Trading Post to allow him to expand his horizons and fill the creative vacuum that making sticks alone couldn’t fullfill.

Episode 18 is here, and the guys are discussing fall ball and recruiting. As everyone knows we’ve been dealing with what seems to be the most unique time we will hopefully ever see. With Covid affecting every part of our lives, its also had an affect on the college lacrosse fall season and continues to affect the recruiting landscape.
After a brief discussion between Nick and Ryan, they speak with Jordan Williams the newly appointed head coach at the Pennsylvania College of Technology. Coach Williams speaks about having his first ever season at a brand new NCAA D3 program during a pandemic. He speaks about the uniqueness of recruiting, transitioning a club program to D3, and gives a fantastic plug for why anyone should consider attending Penn College.
Coach Williams has a rich history in lacrosse. Aside from a summer rooming with Nick coaching summer travel ball, he was an outstanding player at Aurora University. His coaching career started as a graduate assistant at Lourdes University, followed by a one year stop at Chatham before moving to Delaware, OH and helping D3 power Ohio Wesleyan. This will be Jordan’s first chance to run his own program and I for one know he is up for the challenge.

We’re back, even though we never left we did take a break from our normal episode format during lacrosse’s down time to shed light on some promising international programs.
This week we sit down with stud goalie Rachel Vallarelli. Who is Rachel and why should you care? Rachel was a three year starter at UMASS where she had a ridiculous 48 victories with an astonishing 6.77 GAA and in 2015 she was the Atlantic 10 defensive player of the year. That’s what she did, but what is she doing now? She recently became one of the more promising goalie prospects in the box lacrosse world, securing a trip to the NLL combine and competing at a New York Riptide tryout. Rachel is proving herself to not only be an adequate box goalie, but one to look out for.
In addition to her career aspirations in the NLL, Rachel is the driving force behind RV Lax, a company she runs that provides camps, clinics, and lessons for younger lacrosse players. If you’re interested in working with Rachel and her fantastic guest clinicians please visit http://rachelvallarellilacrosse.leagueapps.com/ for more information, you wont regret it. When not giving lessons, working clinics, or playing Rachel is the womens director of Team 91 Tristate and an assistant coach at Purchase College.
In this weeks episode we look deeper at Rachel’s path from stud basketball player to the lacrosse field, from a phenomenal field career, to an unrelenting desire to play professional box. We find out what drives Rachel in her pursuits, along with some light hearted things like her favorite cartoons, food spots, and how she used a goalie stick with traditional stringing….
Next week on the show we sit down and discuss what fall ball looks like, and bring in Jordan Williams (Head Men’s Coach at Pennsylvania College of Technology) to see what its been like to have your programs inaugural year during Covid.

What better place to end our worldwide lacrosse tour than the country who will be hosting the 2021 European lacrosse championships, Poland.
Poland is rich in athletic tradition and is no stranger to supporting North American sports like football. It is no wonder than that the Polish are huge lacrosse fans, hungry to consume as much lacrosse content and gain as much knowledge as they can.
Today’s guest is not only a club coach/player, but he is also a national team member, and marketing/pr director of the European championships, Jakub Lipczik.
Jakub speaks with me about the importance of lacrosse to him and his teammates, the strategies used within Poland to grow the number of players, and about the players he likes to model his game after.
For more information on lacrosse in Poland lacrosse please visit @polandmlax on IG or www.lacrossepolska.com
When speaking about growing the game in Poland, Jakub speaks about the strong support the country has received from Americans with Polish heritage, both with equipment and coaching support.

After the professional summer tournaments ended, we decided to show the world, specifically people in lacrosse hot beds (United States, Canada), what lacrosse looks like across the globe. This project involved a world tour of six episodes with lacrosse leaders in six different countries: Israel, Denmark, Slovenia, Japan, Serbia, and Poland. After the episode about Poland we will return to our normal content on Going Offsides, but given the success of these international episodes we will continue showcasing these countries from time to time.
On this weeks episode we sit down with Lazar Matijasevic to talk about the state of lacrosse in Serbia, what the plans are for the international tournaments, and how locals are working to grow the game within Serbia.
Lazar plays for one of the premier clubs in Serbia, the Belgrade Zombies, with what I assume is one of the coolest team names in the world. He explains how the team became the Zombies, a most interesting story.
In a post-COVID world you should expect to see Serbia at the European Lacrosse Championships competing for an opportunity to attend the 2023 World Lacrosse Championships.

On the fourth leg of Going Offsides goes overseas, Nick and I sit down with Naofumi "Udo" Suzuki, a college professor and Japan national team staff member. Coach Udo discusses various topics regarding lacrosse in Japan, ranging from his own experiences in the game as a player and coach. We talk about his time traveling to the United States to observe lacrosse practices to his current roles working with the national teams.
His experiences and passion for the game are unlike anyone I've spoken to in the past and it speaks volumes to Japans ability to become a power on the world scene. Membership in JLA (Japanese Lacrosse Association) stands at nearly 17,000 players, a far cry from the 21 players the country had in 1986.
“The history of the Japanese Lacrosse starts in April 1986, when a few students of Keio University, spurred by an interest in the sport of Lacrosse, visited the American Embassy," Udo explained. "Both American and Japanese businessmen and lawyers were introduced to these students and the genuine promotion of lacrosse began.“
"Through lacrosse the interaction of the younger generation in the world will foster friendship which will lead to mutual understanding” was the aim of these volunteers. For the first time in Japan, 10 sticks were donated by Mr.Ross Jones, Vice President and Secretary of Johns Hopkins University, and Mr. Bob Scott, Director of Athletics of Johns Hopkins University, to Keio University.”
Is anyone shocked that the legendary Bob Scott played a pivotal role in growing the game in Japan? The following year Don Zimmerman, again no surprise legends are involved, held the first ever lacrosse camp in Japan (1987).
Lacrosse is huge in Japan and the results are paying off as they consistently press the top countries in the world at international events.

Meet Aleš Golob, a passionate lacrosse fan who is doing everything he can to grow the game of lacrosse in Slovenia. A former swimmer, Aleš found the game later in life and took to it like a sponge to water.
Slovenia is an absolutely stunning country in eastern Europe known for its vast mountain ranges to the north and beautiful beaches to the south. Ales encourages people to come visit the country and enjoy all that it has to offer.
Lacrosse is in its infancy in Slovenia with less than 100 players in the country, but those who do play are extremely passionate. The primary focus of the countries players is field lacrosse at the moment.
Aleš credits foreign coaches for coming to Slovenia and spreading their knowledge and passion for the game.
International fame and prestige isn’t an immediate goal for the players in Slovenia, they play simply because they enjoy it. This isn’t to say they don’t want to win as bad as everyone else in Europe, they just don’t mind focusing on fun. If all goes well you should expect to see them at the 2021 European championships in Poland.

On the second leg of Going Offsides goes overseas, we discuss lacrosse in Denmark.
Meet James Robertson (@jnrobbo) an Australian transplanted into Denmark. James explains his ties to lacrosse in Australia, how he ended up in Denmark, and the state of lacrosse in Denmark.
The history of Denmark lacrosse has seen phases of tremendous growth and retraction. In its current state James estimates that there are maybe 50 people playing lacrosse in the country at any given time.
Lacrosse in Denmark is as much about the game as it is about friendship. James mentions how big the social impact of the local lacrosse clubs can be.

The Road to Worlds
The World Championships are the pinnacle of the international game for our sport, however with the number of teams globally increasing each year, teams must qualify for a chance to play. In the case of Denmark, this means they must finish high enough at next years 2021 European Championships for a chance to compete at Worlds.

In Episode 10 of Going Offsides, we’re joined by Hutton Jackson of PLT to talk offseason trade options, the draft, box lacrosse, and wrap up the PLL Championship. We also look at the major differences in the corporate structures around the MLL and PLL, as well what the heck Atlas are going to do with the first overall pick in next years draft. Will we see the first pick traded, will Chaos use Ward and Fields as trade bait? Could Brodie be on the move?

Meet Miles Silva, a West Point graduate and professional lacrosse player in the MLL for the Denver Outlaws. In today's episode of Going Offsides, Nick and Ryan learn more about what Army Lacrosse is all about, how Coach Joe Alberici runs a successful program, and the unique hurdles servicemen have to overcome to achieve their goals in sport.
Silva was essentially born to play Army Lacrosse. Despite his family’s best efforts to convince him otherwise, he knew Army was the only place for him. With both parents having attended West Point themselves, they wanted to make sure that Silva had come to the decision to attend on his own.
A bit of a late-bloomer in college, Silva really hit the scene during his junior year. In 2019, he collected 30 ground balls and buried 39 goals. Silva followed up with a team-high 22 tallies and 15 ground balls in 2020, only to have the season cut short by coronavirus lockdowns in March.
Despite being one of the nation's top players as a senior, his future in professional lacrosse was unclear. The United States passed a law that allows service academy graduates to play professional sports and delay their duty. However, with professional lacrosse not being considered a full-time profession, Silva relied on the help the administrators at West Point to make his dreams come true.
In his first season with the Outlaws, Silva registered four goals in the five games the team played. His rookie stats include a hat trick against Connecticut in the season opener and a solo shot in the MLL Championship Game.
We thank Miles Silva for his commitment to the country and for joining the podcast.

On Episode 7 Nick and Ryan discuss the current MLL tournament-style event and how nice it's been to have lacrosse back.
Not only do the hosts discuss the results of the pro games thus far, but they dig deeper into the league standings and talk about the disparity between the top and bottom teams. Going into the weekend the make their predictions for the remaining games leading up to what seems to be an inevitable Outlaws-Bayhawks championship rematch.
To end the show, the two discuss their own rosters for the All-MLL team. The hosts compile a team of former MLL players who they enjoyed watching. Listen in to the show to hear why some of these picks were made.
The criteria was three attack, three defense, three middies, one goalie and one face-off specialist. Both could agree that their Reg Dunlop Award can go to no one but Gary Gait. Listen to learn what that even means.

Episode six of the Going Offsides podcast features Hope College Men’s Lacrosse Coach Mike Schanhals.
Coach Schanhals has been with the program since 2005 and has lead the team from an unaffiliated club, to the MCLA, and more recently to NCAA Division III in 2013. In his time at Hope College, he was able to bring the team to an NCAA tournament in 2019 and has been able to do so while teaching full-time.
Within the episode we discuss the history of Hope College lacrosse, how the program has evolved over time, and how he has been able to balance having what appears to be two full-time jobs. In addition to his everyday experience, he briefly mentions his time as a coach before Hope, his experience winning multiple high school state championships, and how he witnessed the great American movie American Pie take place in Michigan. Players and coaches alike will appreciate Mike’s great passion for not only the game, but also his passion for life outside of lacrosse.

Season 2 picks up right where we left off in Season 1!
I've been sitting on these recordings to try and find a way to use them in the lead up to Memorial Day Weekend 2020. Once COVID-19 squashed the lacrosse season, I lost track of how I would release the clips. So, alas, this week we bring it back to Championship Weekend 2019 to celebrate the NCAA Lacrosse Championships and the many reasons they're great.
While on site last year, we recorded a series of short interviews with a few different people who were at Lincoln Financial Field to take in the NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championships. Hear from former players, fans, and media over what draws them to lacrosse's biggest event each year.
Let's go back to Philly!
Hosted by Ryan Conwell.
On this week's edition of Lacrosse Classified, we speak to the all-time NLL leader in coaching victories, Derek Keenan of the Saskatchewan Rush. We talk about the Rush's home woes and away hot streak this past season, whether a contract extension is in the cards and who he believes is the Rush player that doesn't get the accolades that they should.
We also get our first two teams into the final four in Stampede Tack's #WhoYaGott in two terribly tight battles only enhanced by two teams pushing the vote and we set our matches up for the other two spots in the final four. In our G Wilson Construction's Under Review, we discuss whether fighting still belongs in the NLL.

Jones is a player who really upped his game this year despite the team being outside the playoff race. We talk about life in self-isolation with his roommate Logan Schuss, his time spent playing NCAA hockey and how that developed his lacrosse game, his take on the Warriors season and his ventures outside the game of lacrosse.
As always we play Stampede Tack's #WhoYaGott where we are down to the Elite 8 in the greatest box lacrosse team of all time and in our G Wilson Construction's Under Review, we discuss which team we see on a potential downslide and which team could be on it way up the standings in the next few years.

Finally, we come back to the G Wilson Construction Under Review segment and discuss the multitude of "player lists" that players can be assigned to along with what each one means.

We have just one guest this week. It's none other than the commissioner of the NLL, Nick Sakiewicz, who joins us on the program and recaps what has happened with the COVID-19 situation and what may occur going forward as the situation with the coronavirus develops.
Also, for Stampede Tack's #WhoYaGott, as there were no games last week, we instead started our version of the NCAA Basketball March Madness tournament with a 32-team field to discover the greatest box lacrosse team of all time, starting with the 2000's regional with four big matchups to consider.

Next up is Zach Higgins, goaltender for the Philadelphia Wings, who currently leads the NLL in both goals against average and save percentage. We talk about his years as a backup leading up to the chance he received this year to be a starter, the change in confidence in Philly this year and one fantastic paint job on his helmet.
And as we record on Family Day in British Columbia and Saskatchewan, Evan brings two of his kids along for Stampede Tack's #WhoYaGott, including Daryna who sits in 5th overall. In Quick Sticks, we hand out our NLL mid-season awards.

On this week's episode of the Lacrosse Classified podcast, we recap Week 11 of the NLL which featured one of the finest displays of goaltending we've seen in a long time from both Dillon Ward and Evan Kirk. Ryan Dilks and Joel McCready join us on the show.
Our first guest is the 2016 NLL Defender of the Year, Ryan Dilks of the Saskatchewan Rush and St. Albert Miners. After taking a year off from the NLL due to firefighting training, Ryan leads the NLL in caused turnovers. We talk about the balance between lacrosse and the work of being a firefighter, his ability to anticipate the play and what it was like to come into the NLL as a 5th round pick.
Our second guest is Joel McCready of the Vancouver Warriors and Coquitlam Adanacs. After a crucial overtime win in Rochester on Sunday that saw the Warriors catapult into second place in the west, we talk about what has changed in Vancouver over the last few years and overcoming an Achilles injury.

On this week's edition of Lacrosse Classified, after a weekend in Vegas for both Jake & Evan — by which some miracle Jake survived — we put the issue of whether a future NLL expansion team in Vegas will work in our G Wilson Construction Under Review segment. Corey Small and Eric Penney join us on the show.
Also in Stampede Tack's #WhoYaGott, Evan's lead is now at two games.
Our first guest is Corey Small of the Buffalo Bandits and the Peterborough Lakers, who scored the OT winner in both of Buffalo's last two games. We talk about team chemistry, the impact a coach like John Tavares will have on a team and how important his eight years with the Victoria Shamrocks were to the development of his career.
Our second guest is the goaltender of the Vancouver Warriors, Eric Penney. Recently the Warriors gave Eric a huge boost of confidence after releasing Aaron Bold made him the clear-cut starter in Vancouver and Penney has rewarded them with perhaps the best two performances of his NLL career.

On this week's episode of Lacrosse Classified, after Jake gets a pass from his girlfriend to head down to Vegas this coming weekend, we turn our focus of the show onto the Dive In to Sin City game coming up this weekend between the San Diego Seals and Colorado Mammoth which both Evan and Jake will be in attendance for.
First up, we have the captain of the San Diego Seals and PLL Chaos, Brodie Merrill. Brodie is now 38 years old but you wouldn't be able to tell it from the way he continues to excel at the game. He is also in the opinion of this show the greatest long pole of all time, having the LSM player of the year award in the PLL named after him, even while he is still an active player. We talk about the Seals early struggles, an unusual goaltending situation in the Seals last game, his work at the Hill Academy and reflect back on perhaps the game that meant the most to him, the 2006 ILF World Championship final.
Next up is the guy who is certainly the best goaltender overall in both disciplines, Dillon Ward of the Colorado Mammoth and Denver Outlaws. We talk about the Mammoth's recent ups and downs, how the #GoalieUnion is sparkling so far this year and everyone having fun with the new trending hashtag, #TradeWard.
As always we have another round of Stampede Tack's #WhoYaGott where Evan maintains a 1 goal lead over Jake, news and notes and in G Wilson Construction's Under Review, we explain the illegal equipment penalty called on Tyler Digby of the New York Riptide in their game against the Philadelphia Wings last week.

This week on Lacrosse Classified, we dig deep into an eight-game Week 8 that was full of surprises, and where our #WhoYaGott winner from 100 entries had just a 6-2 record. Holden Cattoni and Dan Lomas join us on the show.
From a massive upset in Long Island as the New York Riptide took down the Georgia Swarm, to the Rochester Knighthawks having a very different pair of results, to the Colorado Mammoth only scoring five times against the Vancouver Warriors and then lighting up the Saskatchewan Rush the next night. Because both expansion teams got their first win in franchise history, that's where we are focusing our attention this week.
First up is Holden Cattoni of the Rochester Knighthawks. Holden, a former Johns Hopkins star, was one of the first players to come out of Alberta's Elev8 program into the NCAA. Having played the 2018 season with the Calgary Roughnecks, Holden was then traded to Georgia in 2019 only to be surprisingly left unprotected in the expansion draft and was picked up with the 3rd overall pick by Rochester. We talk about the expansion draft and life with the Knighthawks, the growth of the team's offense and life outside of lacrosse living in the Washington D.C. area.
Next up is Dan Lomas of the New York Riptide. Much like Cattoni, Dan is now with his third team in three years, after being let go by the former Rochester Knighthawks and Vancouver Warriors, he has persevered and found a new home with the Riptide. We talk about life with the Riptide, the leadership of Dan MacRae and Dan's growth as a lacrosse player from High Point to the NLL.
We then put gambling in lacrosse in our G. Wilson Construction Under Review segment and play another round of Stampede Tack's #WhoYaGott where Evan maintains a one-game lead over Jake as both went 4-4 last week. Of the five games this week, neither one is confident in four of the picks. As well in News and Notes, the excitement both Evan and Jake have for the Riptide's signing of Myles Jones.

This week on Lacrosse Classified, we have not two, but three guests on the lineup. Pat Gregoire, Matt Rambo and Devan Kaney all join the show.
First up is the color commentator for the Halifax Thunderbirds and contributor to Lacrosse Flash, Smokin' Pat Gregoire. We talk about the success of the Thunderbirds, what it takes to get his hair in place, and has his man-crush changed from Bradley Kri to Graeme Hossack?
Secondly, we speak with Matt Rambo of the Philadelphia Wings and Whipsnakes of the PLL. We speak about the recent success of the Wings, the transition of his game to the box game, the growth of the US men's box lacrosse team and scoring the overtime winner in the PLL championship.
Finally, this week we have Devan Kaney of the NLL and field reporter for the Philadelphia Wings. Devan produces a number of segments for the NLL every week including The Rundown and Huddle Up. We talk about her recent trips to LaxCon and San Diego, who her memorable player interviews were with and who is her favorite analyst to talk to.
As always we go Under Review, brought to you by G Wilson Construction and this week we explain the Alterna Cup. Plus we've got Stampede Tack's #WhoYaGott where Evan takes his accustomed spot on top of the standings with eight games to pick from this week. And we have our first-ever female winner of Who Ya Gott!

First up is former NLL MVP, Jeff Shattler of the Saskatchewan Rush. We talk about the adjustment to the three lefty system and about the growth of lacrosse in Saskatchewan and the Shattler Lacrosse Academy.
Then we have another former MVP, Lyle Thompson of the Georgia Swarm. We get into such a detailed talk about life with Lyle that we almost forget to talk about lacrosse.

On this week's edition of Lacrosse Classified, we have a big eight games on hand in Week 5 to sift through in this week's Stampede Tack Who We Had and discuss how important were faceoffs this weekend. Kevin Crowley and Bradley Kri join us on the show.
In Under Review, we look at the delay-of-game penalty assessed to Calgary on Saturday night and revisit when we talked about their travel schedule with Curt Malawsky just a few months earlier.
Our first guest is the Big Cat, Kevin Crowley of the Philadelphia Wings. The first overall pick in the 2011 NLL draft put up 7 points in a key 8-7 win over Calgary Saturday night. We talk about the final possession, what it means to play in Philly where Kevin has lived for the past 7 years and what his worst travel nightmare has been in his NLL career.
Second up is Bradley Kri of the Toronto Rock. Kri is one of the most improved players in 2019, we talk about the Rock's win over Rochester this past weekend, how much of a toll taking faceoffs has on his body and Pat Gregoire's man-crush on Brad.

This week on Lacrosse Classified we have just two games to recap in Stampede Tack's Who We Had, but have a massive eight games for this week's Who Ya Gott. Robert Hope and Brad Challoner join us on the show.
Editor's Note: We'd like to give an official "Santa Warning." If you have kids tuning in to the podcast along with you, be careful about them listening as we talk about some real truths about the big man...
In the wake of the Brett Mydske free agent signing, we add some compensatory picks in our G Wilson Constriction Under Review.
First up, we have Robert Hope of the Colorado Mammoth, Peterborough Lakers and Team Canada. We discuss the Mammoth's early success on defense, their big overtime win against Calgary and ask the question, "Is the Mann Cup safe?"
Next up is the voice of the Vancouver Warriors, and former host of Lacrosse Classified Brad Challoner. We discuss the impact of the Brett Mydske signing, the performance of the Warriors to date and Brad's affliction with Christmas music.

On this edition of Lacrosse Classified, we have two guests who had big games in Week 3 of the NLL schedule. Callum Crawford and Keegan Bal join us on the show.
First up is Callum Crawford of the New England Black Wolves. The veteran — who fell just short of the league scoring title last season — has been ripping it up in the NLL through two games again this year. We talk about the Black Wolves' success, the rise of Douggie Jamieson, Callum's interesting flight to Saskatoon this past weekend and the success of his program in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Next up is Keegan Bal of the Vancouver Warriors who had 8 points in the Warriors win over the Riptide on Saturday. Bal's story is an interesting one in which two years ago, he found himself out of a job in the NLL and was playing Senior B lacrosse in St. Albert when he got the call from Dan Richardson of the Warriors to come to camp to try out. The Warriors, who were looking for diamonds in the rough to build on their depth, embraced Bal, who repaid them with a 30 goal season in 2019, including a 14-point performance against Philadelphia in one game.
As always, we recap Week 3 in our Stampede Tack's Who We Had, we play #WhoYaGott where Evan and Jake are even in the standings again, news and notes, and in our G Wilson Construction Under Review, we explore a rule change which is still confusing teams, fans and officials alike in mucking the ball in the crease.

On this week's edition of Lacrosse Classified, we get right into our G Wilson Construction Under Review segment as we tackle the Dane Dobbie suspension.

On this week's edition of Lacrosse Classified, we wrap up our Stampede Tack team previews with the Vancouver Warriors and speak with the general manager of the team, Dan Richardson. Richardson, who was the long time general manager of the New Westminster Salmonbellies of the Western Lacrosse Association is working to rebuild a team that lacked depth and draft picks when he arrived. We speak to him about the rebuilding efforts, the battle for the starting goaltending spot on the team, the move to Friday home games in Vancouver and his recent signing of Paul Bissonette to a try-out contract.
Then we come full circle on Lacrosse Classified once again by having two guests on Season 2, Ep. 2 that we had on Season 1, Ep. 1, Peter Schmitz and Dave Succamore from the Professional Lacrosse Players Association. When we last had these two gentlemen on the program, there was significant doubt as to whether there would be a 2018-19 NLL season and we spoke with them for almost 50 minutes about what the issues with the CBA were. We are once again talking CBA with them as we are just 11 months away from the timeline for either the PLPA or the NLL giving notice that they want to exit from the current CBA to take effect in October/November 2021. They share some news on that front, as well as talk about the future growth of the game, what it will take to make players full time athletes, progress on workers compensation for players in Canada and improvements needed for the safety of the game.
We also introduce a new segment, Under Review, where we answer a listener's question, and this week we are asked, how many teams should the NLL cap the expansion movement at for now. Also, Jake loses another bet that will see him punished at a Rush game, the CLA has a new president and other news and notes.

We are kicking off Season 2 of Lacrosse Classified and as we continue through our Stampede Tack team previews, we move on to the two teams that perhaps had the fewest offseason moves in the Saskatchewan Rush and the Toronto Rock.
First up, we speak to the man we consider to be the greatest head coach and general manager of all time in Derek Keenan. Keenan has led the Rush to three championships and five NLL finals and has built his winner by being a master through the draft and acquiring a multitude of draft picks. We speak to him about getting the likes of Jeff Cornwall and Ryan Dilks back into the lineup, a status update on Brett Mydske and why the Rush keep their training camp roster numbers extremely low.
Secondly, we head to Toronto to speak with general manager and owner of the Toronto Rock, Jamie Dawick. Its only fitting that we speak to Jamie almost 1 year exactly since his last appearance on the podcast when he was the first owner to speak out during the labour stoppage, a conversation which in part kickstarted discussions that ultimately led to a resolution. We speak to Jamie about the consistency in his lineup this year, a few draft picks that could be huge additions to his lineup, Jamie's poker tournament skills and the legacy that the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre has left for the game of lacrosse.
We also have the audio of Jake singing Rhinestone Cowboy, news and notes, and a listener asks us, what will it take from the players, teams and the league to get a television deal done.
As always a big thank you to our sponsors, the Vancouver Warriors, Pure Vita Labs, Associated Labels and Packaging and Stampede Tack.

On this week's edition of Lacrosse Classified, we continue our Stampede Tack season previews and welcome aboard a new sponsor, the Vancouver Warriors. Dan Carey and Patrick Merrill join us on the show.
First up we speak with Dan Carey, general manager of the Rochester Knighthawks. Last time we spoke with Dan was just hours after the expansion draft, and this time we take a look at his new team complete with draft picks and free agents.
Then, we speak with an expansion team from last year, the San Diego Seals, and their general manager and head coach, Patrick Merrill. The Seals, who shocked everyone by finishing in second place in the west last year, made a number of personnel changes up front and we find out from Patrick when Austin Staats will return to the lineup.
Also, the fans send in the question, "To which two cities would Jake and Evan like to see the NLL expand and which two cities would they like to see come back to the league?"

How are the people of Long Island taking to the return of professional lacrosse? What do the Wings need to do to improve their 4th quarter performances this year? And how close are the Wings to being a playoff team this year? It might be closer than you think.
Also in News and Notes, Jake and Evan reflect on what was the first year of Lacrosse Classified and how far the program has come over that time.

We discuss the move to Halifax, why we believe Halifax is going to be a great market for the team, and the canoe trip from Rochester to Halifax.

Secondly, we speak with Rich Lisk, general manager of the New England Black Wolves, who receives news mid-interview that a trade has concluded just before the interview started for Tony Malcolm. We talk about the expansion draft losses, the deal to get Jordan Durston and how he will mesh with 1st round pick Andrew Kew, the potential that Jarrod Neumann has in the NLL and how a six game home stand and fewer Sunday home games is going to affect the Black Wolves this season.

Then, we speak with USA Lacrosse team member, and also a member of the Philadelphia Wings and PLL Chaos Blaze Riorden. Blaze has a very interesting background. He tells his story about how he became one of the best field lacrosse goalies on the planet, while also excelling at being a forward in the NLL, which requires a totally different skill set. We also talk about the Wings season ahead, how the US has been performing so far at the world championships and what it's like to play for Andy Towers.

On this week's edition of Lacrosse Classified, Evan Schemenauer jumps back into the co-host chair alongside Jake Elliott. We thought we had our Stampede Tack Letter Grade F all ready to hand out for player rentals in the WLA and MSL, and then events in Ontario changed that quickly. We also hand out our A to a team that is surprising everyone despite no household name players on the roster. Ryland Rees and Andrew Kew join us on the show.
This week's guests are both top prospects in the NLL Entry Draft coming up in September. First up is Ryland Rees of the Burnaby Lakers and Boston Cannons. The Stony Brook graduate who plays LSM in the fields game was a surprise major contributor in Canada's effort at the 2018 FIL World Lacrosse Champsionships and was named to the all tournament team. He also won a Minto Cup last summer with the Coquitlam Adanacs. This summer Rees is performing double duty, flying from his home in British Columbia 7 hours to Boston to play for the Cannons to fly back to BC to play for Burnaby, who are in 1st place in the WLA at the moment. Rees also recently signed on as a sponsored athlete with our sponsor, Pure Vita Labs.
Our second guest is Andrew Kew of the Oakville Rock. Kew played his collegiate ball with DII Tampa and at a young age, led the Oakville Rock in scoring last season and so far this year, also leads the team in scoring despite missing a few games due to injury. The lefty forward is going to be a highly prized commodity in the upcoming draft, with draft guru Stephen Stamp having him projected to go #1 overall.
We then wrap things up with another round of Stampede Tack's #WhoYaGott, and there's a tight three-way race for 1st in the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League Junior A standings with just a week to go in the season.

In this episode, Jake and Evan recap all five games from a crazy week 3 in the NLL. Jake then chats with Pure Vita Labs sponsored player Callum Crawford of the New England Black Wolves, who is certainly more than a role player, he's the main catalyst of the Black Wolves offense. Callum has played for 8 different teams in his 14 NLL seasons, including Calgary, San Jose, Edmonton, Minnesota, Colorado, Buffalo and New England. He currently resides in Tulsa, Oklahoma where he coached a high school lacrosse development program.Bruce Urban has been the owner of the Edmonton/Saskatchewan Rush since their inception in 2005. A passionate lacrosse fan, Bruce saw the excitement of an NLL game when the Roughnecks came to Calgary and was instantly sold on the potential the league had to offer. After winning their first title in 2015 in Edmonton, Bruce was forced to move his team to Saskatoon due to the inability to secure a long term arena lease in Edmonton. Since the mice, the Saskatchewan Rush have become the class of the NLL both on the floor with two more titles, but also off the floor as the team with the highest attendance in the league and the most profitable team in the league. All of this despite playing in the smallest market in the league in Saskatoon, with a population of just 270,000.Finally, we end the year with our predictions for week 4 and a very "big" announcement.

We are back! Here we have episode 12 of Outside the 8 with the Resilient Annie Cook. Annie is from Towson, Maryland, played lacrosse at McDonogh High School, and went on to be on of the first class of recruits to play at Campbell University. Annie reached out to me wanting to share her story of experiencing a career ending head injury after having too many concussions on the field. Concussions in lacrosse are not uncommon, I had two minor ones in my playing career, and with the nature of the sport, they are at times unpreventable. At this point girls and women’s lacrosse rules only require the eye wear goggles, although there is a push toward more helmet based headgear that could help with reducing the number of concussions players experience. Annie describes the journey she went through dealing with chronic symptoms, the decision to no longer compete, and how she still managed to graduate on time and be a part of the team. Her story is inspiring and her resilience has led her to live life fully and share the message of playing every game like it's your last with the girl's that she coaches.

This week's episode is with Kevin Rice of the Atlanta Blaze. Kevin is a former Syracuse Lacrosse player who is now in his fourth MLL season. Kevin shares how he was able to go from a small high school as a player who did not specialize in lacrosse into working his way onto the field as a starting attack. As a senior, he worked his way to winning the award for the nation's top attackman, the same year Lyle Thompson won the Tewaaraton as an attackman in Albany.He shares his thoughts on the MLL compared to the NCAA in terms of pace, coaching, and how fun it is for spectators by comparing his experience as a player in both systems. On a personal level, while in the MLL, he also suffered a major injury for the first time as a player and describes how he worked his way back from it.Kevin also has just completed law school and discusses why he chose a more traditional career path instead of going fully into lacrosse right away. We hope you enjoy the conversation and learn a little more about the game from a player's perspective.
