22 Easy: Recent Episodes
Casey Powell
Casey Powell grew up in a paper mill town in the middle of nowhere, a small town boy with big dreams. His dad, Larry sold a shotgun to buy him and his brothers their first lacrosse sticks. The backyard became their sanctuary, their blank canvas. After only five years of organized lacrosse, Casey Powell set the national high school scoring record.
The Orange came knocking on his door and Syracuse, legendary coach Roy Simmons Jr. found his next generational talent and he gave him the number 22, 2 digits suited only for the great ones. From the moment he stepped on campus Casey was spectacular. A four time, all American, a national champion, two time national player of the year and the school's all time leading point scorer. Just 1 of 10 players named to the all century team. That was just his first act. For the next 18 years, Casey would go on to have one of the most illustrious professional lacrosse careers, both in the MLL and the NLL. He wore the stars and stripes and he captained team USA, but he is so much more than just a player. He has taught and inspired thousands of lacrosse players. With an emphasis on a creative and innovative style with a flare for the dramatic; one that has the next generation wanting so much more. Today, he's the lead instructor of the Casey Powell Lacrosse Academy and he founded the CP world lacrosse foundation with a mission to share support and inspire lacrosse worldwide. Along with his brothers, Ryan and Mike, Casey runs Powell lacrosse company, and he founded three on three version of the game called Speed Lacrosse. His impact on the game has been and continues to be beyond profound is a player, a coach, an ambassador and a friend of the game of lacrosse. I've seen all of this unfold before my own eyes. I'm his college roommate, ESPN Paul Carcaterra, and I can't wait to hear what CP and his vast network of lacrosse friends have to share with the world of lacrosse.
What's up everyone? On this episode I, Casey Powell, am taking it back to field with my buddy and my rival John Grant Jr.. John and I met at an All American Camp back in the day, went separate ways in college and played against eachother. We both agree, playing together as teammates is better than rivals. While I competed against my brothers, JG was on a mission to outplay his hall of fame lacrosse father! I loved getting into it with my friend JG Jr, and learning about the imprint his father and his hometown left on his game and learning how the lacrosse legacy continues in his daughter and mine! Let's explore the field!

22 Easy is in Season 2! We are talking about life on and off the field with some of the greats and answering those burning questions. I know there is fun in scoring, but man when you play on a goalie like Blaze Riorden, he's going to make you work for it. The Chaos have a BIG game coming up this weekend, and I, Casey Powell, had an awesome conversation with goalie extraorinaire Blaze Riorden. Who will take home the ship (championship, that is)?

Having talent in multiple sports like baseball and hockey, lacrosse was not on the family radar... until it was. Whether it's on the field or in the box, I know how these guys feel and continue to feel about the great game of lacrosse. Now, Patrick is the GM and coach of the San Diego Seals and Brodie is one of his players. Listen to this episode to hear what the Merrill brothers think about the history of the game and what they think the future has in store for the PLL and NLL. Did you catch the new Powell Lacrosse ad?

This week I, Casey Powell, talk to 3 men who are considered the best collegiate attack line in the game of lacrosse. While all coming from different backgrounds, Hubbard, Massey, and Hess were recruited to play for Princeton Tigers, which was definitely a challenge to me on the field while playing for the Orange. From competitors to friends the boys and I talk about summer camps, our first sticks, and the elite Empire State Games. I want to know:
How do you string your stick? What's your favorite Empire Games memory? Do the Long Island guys still run their mouths?

In this episode of 22 Easy I, Casey Powell, speak to someone who has been there through it all, and I mean ALL. Susan Powell is the matriarch of the Powell family and continues to be a role model and mentor to my siblings and me. Mom and I talk about what it was like having 3 boys growing up with what she calls "healthy competition" in the backyard and everything else. I mean we all out scored each other at Syracuse University on the lacrosse field..that tells you something! Mom shares stories about being on the road for years with teams and families, and I get a little choked up - even emotional- when my mom tells what she thought the first time she saw me coach my first college lacrosse team. I just can't get enough. My mom doesn't just remember these stories, but she is someone who has kept road journals through the years with tales from on and off the field. I guess it's no surprise that she recently wrote a book, "A Knock At My Heart: A Story of Life, Love, and Lacrosse" This book is an answer to the angels she has knocking on her heart. Thank you for sharing our stories as seen through your eyes. I love you, Mom! How did you do last week against me in Powell's Picks? I made some picks that may surprise you this week. Did you like meeting Hometown last week? He's back on the podcast and shares where he fuels up on the local cuisine.

In this episode I, Casey Powell, sit down in the little boho city of Delray Beach that I call home with a competitor, teammate, friend, and lacrosse Hall of Fame inductee, Mark Millon. Mark Millon, the most explosive dodger to grace the field, and I met up at the Hyatt Place in downtown Delray Beach before his son's team from up north took the field at American Heritage. It was good to catch up with this guy and talk about the past, present, and future of our favorite sport, LACROSSE. We answer some burning questions on this episode like: If you could create a fantasy team, who would you start with and why? Are our youth teams playing too much lacrosse? Did you really date Mariah Carey?
I took Powell's Picks to the Ivy Leagues, High School, and even gave some shoutouts to the upstate New York teams I grew up with. Who do you have with a W this weekend?
