Any other current or former lacrosse players out there?

Love the sport. Still throw around with buddies here and there and almost daily with my dog. Big Buffalo Bandits (of the NLL) fan. Watch the games online every week. Any other lax players/fans on RP? Have you found an adult league near your post/base?

Was a LSM and Defenseman, Rutgers '95. I am the lead for communications for the Rutgers Letterwinners Association now. Play sparingly, mainly helping my daughter's team as a volunteer assistant. VERY different game.

Managed to get a pick-up league started in Balad circa 2008...someone there prior to me had managed to get a pair of goals shipped over; my alma mater donated a bunch of equipment for us to use in country. I wonder what the Iraqis think of it.

Played in college and miss it all the time! Now I coach a youth league and play in an adult league here :)

I miss playing LAX. In hindsight, I wish I'd given it more serious consideration in choosing a college.

The one success I had in college was that I walked on having never played the sport, and earned a Varsity Letter in my first season. I played goalie. I have always gone under the theory, if it has a goal, I can protect it. Soccer, Hockey, Lacrosse didn't matter. Crazy times. I actually loved getting hit when shots were taken. It meant I had just done my job, and stopped the attacker from doing his. Now we have a MLL team in my area the Florida Launch so I can even go see professional lacrosse games when they are in town.
