The game is alive and well under the big sky.

Lacrosse players now can play with a full Powell stick

Sam creates perfect pockets and he’s not afraid to share them.

A wooden shaft was once a tree and before that a seed. It was alive and lived a life.

Here’s a peek at our upcoming series Knot to Mention.

Last week I decided to take a deep dive into a topic that I’ve been interested in for years.  As the name of our online journal suggests, we are exploring the field in an effort to uncover the untold stories of lacrosse and shine light on the important people inside our community.  I’m honored to […]

What do you do in January when you love lacrosse and live in Upstate NY? The answer — you call your buddies, put on your hunting gear and venture out into the snow.  This past Thursday marked the date of the first annual Great Upstate Snow Game.  This game was all about good people, fun […]

Magic is real.  Take a whimsical walk with our CPM Sam as he laces up a beautiful stick destined for our next Woodshop release.  This video may reverse the way that you think about stick stringing all together.  Enjoy!
