AJ Haugen
Legends of Lacrosse
A State Champion from Bethpage High School, AJ Haugen was an extremely gifted athlete and was blessed with the natural talent of speed.
#12 combined his athletic abilities with a relentless work ethic that would make those around him better and had a major influence on the younger players that looked up to him. Often the first guy to practice and the last guy to leave; the silent competitor had a big-time drive to be great, always put in the work, and led by example. The Johns Hopkins Blue Jay and Long Island Lizards star was one of the most feared dodging midfielders in the sport. Haugen could flat out fly and had one of the best shots on the run lacrosse has ever seen.
AJ was a 3x All-American, 2x Team USA, 2x MLL Champion, and National Hall of Fame member. Always a class act and a great ambassador for our sport.

Bill Daye
Legends of Lacrosse
Bill Daye was one of the pioneers of pro lacrosse as a player and coach. His tenacious style of goaltending and his toughness always made it hard to get the ball past #2.
Daye had a tremendous career at UNC winning a National Championship in 1991 and helped lead the Tar Heels to several Final Fours. He played in the inaugural season of Major League Lacrosse in 2001 for the Boston Cannons and was named to the All-Star team. After having to end his pro career because of injury, Daye moved on to coaching. With his leadership, the Boston Cannons won the 2011 MLL Championship and he was named the MLL Coach of the Year.
A great lacrosse player and a better person, Daye is an amazing role model for African American lacrosse players as he helps inspire the next generation.

Bill Miller
Legends of Lacrosse
Bill Miller was a 4x National Champion, 4x All-American (3x First-team), 2x National Player of the Year, 3x NLL Champion, 2x Team USA selection, and a National Lacrosse Hall of Fame member. Bill was extremely successful in the game because of his complete package of talent, leadership, speed, work ethic, and grit.
Undersized out of high school and few Division 1 coaches knocking on the door, it didn’t stop the D3 Hobart College grad from leaving a major mark on our sport. The Hobart Lacrosse Legend was crafty, tough, smart, and could feed and score with the best of them.

Blake Miller
Legends of Lacrosse
Blake Miller is one of the most underrated midfielders ever.
The Long Island native was a stud for Hofstra and would become one of the best goal scorers in the MLL. He was among the pioneers of pro field lacrosse during the 2000 MLL Showcase and would play for over 10 years in the league.
Blake is an All-American, 3x MLL All-Star, 2004 MLL Offensive Player of the Year, 2004 MLL Champion, and a 2x Member of Team USA (98′ & 06′).
Blake got better as he got older with some of his best seasons coming in his 30s. He is one of the best off-ball middies we’ve ever seen thanks to being able to read a play so well. He always dodged hard and put his body on the line to score goals for his team. It was an honor to share the field with such a talented player and person.

Brett Queener
Legends of Lacrosse
Brett Queener is one of the most dynamic and electric goalies ever.
Brett is an Upstate New York legend who made an impact right away at Herkimer, Albany, and then in the pros. From jaw-dropping saves to coast-to-coast goals, he was so skilled and could do it all. He even played man-up in college and forward in the NLL.
Brett is an All-American, 2x MLL Champion, 5x MLL All-Star, 2x MLL Skills Competition winner, and one of the biggest personalities in lacrosse.
Goalies have scored before, but no one did it like King Queener. When he started running down the field the whole stadium was on the edge of their seat waiting for magic to happen. His fun and creative style of play were only matched by his competitiveness. He paved the way for the next generation of goalies to follow in his footsteps. A great teammate and friend from a great family, Brett is one of the best people in lacrosse.

Brian “Doc” Dougherty
Legends of Lacrosse
Brian “Doc” Dougherty is simply one of the best goalies to ever stand between the pipes.
Doc was a brick wall for Maryland as he led the Terps to the 1995 National Championship game making big-time saves in big-time moments as he would throughout his Hall of Fame career. He dominated in the pros with the Rattlers, Lizards, and Barrage as he won MLL Championships and Goalie of the Year Honors in 2003, 2006, and 2007.
Doc is a 2x First-Team All-American, 1995 & 1996 NCAA Goalie of the Year, multiple time MLL All-Star, and World Champion with Team USA in 1998 & 2010. If he made a save on you he let you know it. He played with a big heart and a bigger personality. He has also had a huge impact as a coach with his intense and fun-loving presence on high school, college, and pro sidelines. Doc is an amazing teammate, friend, and one of the best people in the lacrosse community.

Brian Langtry
Legends of Lacrosse
Brian Langtry is one of the most electric and dynamic players to ever play the game.
The Long Island native was a great player for Hofstra but really found his groove in the pro ranks. He helped the Denver lacrosse scene explode with his incredible play for the Mammoth and Outlaws. He had no fear and would pull up from the 2 pt line or dive through the crease to change the tide of a game. He played with an unrivaled passion and desire to do anything to win.
Brian is an All-American, 6x All-Star, NLL Champion, Member of Team USA, has his jersey retired by the Colorado Mammoth, and is one of the biggest personalities pro lacrosse has ever seen.
You loved having him on your side because of the way he could rattle the other team’s players. His unique style of dodging, shooting, and passing made him unpredictable to cover. He is one of the best Americans to ever play in the NLL and deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame. Tree is one of the best people in lacrosse and is now giving back in a big way with his 6 Star lacrosse program.

Brian Wood
Legends of Lacrosse
Brian Wood was the model attackman. He was a dynamic dodger, had great vision, and was one of the best shooters ever. The Blue Jay legend was as slick as they come and so many attackmen would go on to copy his style.
A 4x All-American, Wood was a huge part of Johns Hopkins’ domination in the 80s as he helped the Blue Jays win 3 National Championships in 1984, 1985, and 1987. He would also help Team USA win the World Championship in 1986. The Hall of Famer has had an enormous impact on lacrosse as a player and coach.

Chris Passavia
Legends of Lacrosse
Chris Passavia is one of the fiercest takeaway defenders to ever play the game.
The Long Island native was a huge part of the tough Maryland defensive group of the early 2000s that bashed through offenses. His athleticism and tenacity helped him quickly adjust to the MLL where he had a great career.
Chris is a 3x All-American, 6x MLL All-Star, and was a multitool defenseman who could do everything.
He could be a lockdown cover guy, ground ball machine off of faceoff wings, takeaway artist, or set the tone with a big hit. Once the ball was on the ground he would fly up the field to push it in transition. He was a beast on the field, but also an amazing ambassador for the sport off of it.

Chris Sanderson
Legends of Lacrosse
Chris Sanderson was one of the best goalies to ever play at the International level.
The Orangeville native was a trailblazer as one of the first Canadians to play field lacrosse goalie in the NCAA. He was great at Virginia before going on to an incredible International career. He was one of the rare breeds who could play goalie both indoors and outdoors.
Chris led Virginia to 2 Final Fours, won an NLL Championship in 2001, and defended the net for Canada in 4 World Championships (1998, 2002, 2006, and 2010). He led them to their second Field World Championship in 2006 and was named to the All-World team 3 times.
Chris was fiery in net and was an amazing leader of his defenses. He would stand tall on shots and make big saves in big moments. What an honor to have shared the field with him and we will forever be in awe of him coming back from brain surgery to play in the 2010 World Championship. Chris definitely left the lacrosse community better than he found it.

Colin Doyle
Legends of Lacrosse
Colin Doyle was crafty, deceptive, highly-skilled, innovative, and super competitive! The long-time Toronto Rock Captain made those around him better and he was a guy that you wanted on your team. #7 played the game to win and was always in contention to win a title; whether it was on the floor, field, or in the backyard. Doyle is on the shortlist for the best players to excel at indoor and outdoor lacrosse. An unselfish leader that could take the ball to the rack with the best of them. 3x NLL Champions Cup MVP, NLL League MVP, NLL Rookie of the Year, and 4x Team Canada member.

Connor Gill
Legends of Lacrosse
Conor Gill is one of the best all-around attackmen the game has ever seen.
From the moment he stepped on campus in Charlottesville he made an impact with his next level passing and ability to quarterback an offense. He led Virginia to a National Championship in 1999 as a Freshman and would slice through defenses his whole college career. He would go on to be a star in the MLL for 7 seasons.
Conor is a 3x All-American, NCAA National Champion, 2002 MLL Rookie of the Year, 4x MLL All-Star, and 2004 MLL MVP.
Conor was a smooth operator who let his play do the talking. He threw passes that practically caught themselves. He was almost unguardable at times dodging from X and once he got to the island it was probably going to be a goal. He was a master of the question mark, inside roll, rocker step, and did everything he could to get to the net. We are proud to have shared the field with such an amazing competitor and even better person.

Cory Bomberry
Legends of Lacrosse
Cory Bomberry had one of the hardest shots we have ever seen.
He dominated summer ball with Six Nations before getting picked in the First Round of the NLL Draft by the Rochester Knighthawks in 1997. He was best known for his shot from up top, but he contributed all over the floor taking faceoffs, playing defense, and leading the way in transition.
Bomber had a stint with the Arizona Sting before joining the Buffalo Bandits and quickly becoming a fan favorite. He played in seven NLL Championship games, finally winning in 2008 with the Bandits. He played in 3 Indoor World Games (2003, 2007, 2011) as well as the 2006 Field Championships for the Iroquois Nationals.
Cory Bomberry was the ultimate teammate and played with passion every time he stepped on the floor. We are proud to have played with and against #72.

Dallas Eliuk
Legends of Lacrosse
Dallas Eliuk is arguably the best goalie to ever play in the NLL.
He came out of Vancouver, BC, and made an impact immediately with his aggressive style. He began his storied career with the Philadelphia Wings and would backstop them to the best years in the franchise’s history before finishing with the Portland Lumberjax. He played in the MILL/NLL for 18 seasons giving the league much-needed personality and flair through it all.
Dallas is a 9x All-Pro, 2x Championship Game MVP, 4x NLL Champion, Mann Cup Champion, a member of the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame, member of the NLL Hall of Fame, and retired as the NLL all-time saves leader.
Dallas threw his body around like every shot was a potential game-winner. He made you work for every shot and just when you thought you had him beat he would throw out an arm or leg to make the save. He regularly came out of the net to make hits and protect the net. He played his best in the big moments and was a great teammate who you wanted backstopping your net. It’s awesome to now see him passing on his knowledge to young goalies with the US Box Lacrosse Association.

Dan Denihan
Legends of Lacrosse
Dan Denihan was one of the game’s best attackmen in college and the pros for many years.
The Manhasset, NY native helped lead Johns Hopkins to several Final Fours and finished 11th all-time in points for the Blue Jays. He got to play with his brother, Conor, while at Hopkins and we know how special that experience is. He played in the MLL’s inaugural season with the Baltimore Bayhawks and scored 4 goals and 4 assists in the league’s first-ever game. This 2x All-American was a fierce competitor who wasn’t afraid to get in your face. An extremely balanced attackman whose vision was just as good as his shot, Denihan could beat his defenseman in so many different ways. Whether he was charging his way to the net, feeding through the defense, or battling on the ride, he was as tough and skilled as they come.

Darren Lowe
Legends of Lacrosse
Darren Lowe is one of the most dominant attackmen to ever play the game.
Lowe helped lead Brown to three consecutive NCAA Quarterfinals and his 316 points put him at 10th on the all-time D1 points list. He went on to play in the NLL and also the 2000 MLL Showcase. For Team USA, he scored big goals, made crucial plays, and provided leadership in both the 1998 and 2002 World Games to help win back to back Golds. A 3X All-American, 2x World Champion, 1992 NCAA Attackman of the Year, and a member of the Hall of Fame alongside his father Alan and brother Kevin, Darren is in a class of his own. He made everyone around him better and was a guy you always wanted on your team. His vision, stick skills, change of direction, and knowledge of the game made him the most dangerous player on the field.

David Evans
Legends of Lacrosse
David Evans once held the world record for fastest shot clocking in at 109 MPH.
A scoring machine at Brown, he would help lead the Bears to the Final Four in 1994. He would go on to play pro with the Boston Cannons from 2001-2006 and would finish his career as their all-time leading scorer at the time. A 3x All-American, 6x MLL All-Star, and 3-Time MLL Fastest Shot Winner, Evans scorched shots by goalies throughout his career. Not only did he have an amazing shot, but he was also a physical dodger, an extremely hard worker, and a great teammate who made those around him better. He had a huge impact at Brown, in the MLL, and now as a youth lacrosse coach.

Dennis Goldstein
Legends of Lacrosse
Dennis Goldstein was a savvy attackman who helped lead UNC to an undefeated National Championship season in 1991 as he went on to garner NCAA Player of the Year honors.
Like his brother Tim, Dennis was a tremendous feeder who made everyone around him better. When he got to 5 and 5 he could pull off a perfect question mark or beat his defender in a dozen other ways. A 2x All-American, 1991 Player of the Year, National Champion, and a great leader in lacrosse, Dennis has had a huge impact on the game. Dennis used his Long Island toughness to battle his way to the net and he would hold the UNC record for goals in a season with 47 until it was broken in 2015.

Doug Knight
Legends of Lacrosse
Doug Knight is a Hall of Fame Member and the King of the Crease Dive.
With an unconventional style to his game, #7 was unstoppable when he got the ball inside. It was evident with his style of play that he came from a hockey background; tough as they come and not afraid to throw his body around (especially with a fake fall). The high-flying attackman was so much fun to watch play lacrosse.
Knight has a resume to prove that he was one of the best attackmen our sport has ever seen. 3x All-American, NCAA Player of the Year, University of Virginia Hall of Fame member, and a member of the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame. We loved to watch you play this sport D. Knight!

Doug Shanahan
Legends of Lacrosse
Doug Shanahan was a do-it-all midfielder for the ages.
The inaugural Tewaaraton Award winner in 2001, he led Hofstra to the NCAA tournament twice and became a legend on Long Island. A two-sport athlete, Shanahan was one of the final cuts from the New York Jets in 2002 as a defensive back and you could see his talent on the gridiron translate to how he played lacrosse.
A 3x All-American, 2002 World Games MVP with Team USA, and MLL All-Star, he was a difference-maker in between the lines that you wanted on your team. He could play lockdown defense, score in transition, and then line back up for the faceoff to spark a fast break. A true competitor whose change of direction and 100+ MPH shot made him a threat all the way from the 2pt line. One of the last players to use a Rock-It-Pocket in pro lacrosse, Shanahan played an old-school style that is rare in today’s game.

Gewas Schindler
Legends of Lacrosse
Hienhyawgewas had a stick in his hands before he could walk. He went on to have an incredible lacrosse career; first at Lafayette HS, then Loyola University, and many outstanding years in the professional leagues.
A proud player and current GM for the Iroquois Nationals, Gewas Schindler was crafty and had the ability to see the play before it developed. The lefty sniper could deliver a missile or beat a keeper with an off-speed perfectly placed shot. When people of our generation talk about the low to high shot there was no one on the planet that brought it from the turf to the upper 90 like he did. The crafty attackman’s stick skills were first class and he had the ability to score goals in so many different ways.
Hailing from the Onondaga Nation, Powell Lacrosse would like to salute Gewas Schindler for the passion he brought on the field and for his continued efforts to help the next generation of Iroquois players.

Greg Cattrano
Legends of Lacrosse
Greg “The Cat” Cattrano had a tremendous career at Brown before going on to dominate in the MLL.
His aggressive style and energy made him one of the hardest goalies to play against. He was as dangerous out of the net as in scoring 4 times in college and also scoring the first goalie goal in MLL history.
A 2x All-American, 1997 NCAA Goalie of the Year, 2002 MLL MVP, 2x MLL Champion, and a great person, Cattrano left his mark on the game of lacrosse. He played in the first 5 MLL Championships and was as clutch as they come. His fearless play inspired the next generation of goalies.
We never liked playing against him, but we have mad respect for one of the best goalies of all time, Greg Cattrano!

Jake Bergey
Legends of Lacrosse
Jake Bergey is one of the most skilled and physical offensive players we have ever seen.
He was dominant at Salisbury as he won 2 National Championships with the Gulls. Playing in both the NLL and MLL, he made his biggest impact with the Philadelphia Wings where he would go from never playing box lacrosse before to having his jersey hang in their rafters.
He is a 3x All-American, 2x DIII National Champion, NLL All-Star, 2x NLL Champion, Philadelphia Wings Captain, and a player who could take over any game at any moment.
Wearing his father’s football number #66, he charged his way through defenses. Jake was so versatile as he could tiptoe the crease for a fancy finish, set hard picks, throw one-handed feeds, or make big hits. A great teammate and fierce competitor, we hope to see him in the Hall of Fame very soon.

Jamie Hanford
Legends of Lacrosse
Jamie Hanford was an all-around force on the field and was assigned to defend the opponent’s best player.
He never came off the field taking face-offs, playing defense, picking up GB’s, and had the skill to push the ball in transition. He played the game with a flair – he wasn’t cocky, but rather convinced that every time he stepped on the field he was going to use 100% of his elite skills to have a major impact on the game.
“Man-Cub” dictated the pace of play by always bringing it to the ball carrier. The Swiss Army knife could beat you at the face-off X, strip you, knock you down, and take it coast-to-coast. Powell Lacrosse would like to salute the Darien, Connecticut product, Loyola Greyhound, and long-time professional player in both Major League Lacrosse and the National Lacrosse League. Mad respect to you #5!

Jason Coffman
Legends of Lacrosse
Jason Coffman is the greatest scorer in NCAA history. His 451 points are an NCAA record across all divisions.
Hailing from West Carthage, NY he played the creative freewheeling style that was formed in the backyards of the North Country. It’s not surprising to us that Jason had the college career that he did; not the biggest guy on the field, but always the most competitive. His determination, drive, passion, and heart are what truly made him the greatest scorer NCAA lacrosse has ever seen. Whether it was a rocket from the outside, a bull dodge through 2 defenders, or a dip & dunk finish on the inside, Coffman had a nose for finding the back of the net. He dissected defenses with slick passes and saw plays before they happened.
Jason was a 4x NCAA First Team All-American, 3x Attackmen of the Year, 2x National Champion, and 2x DIII Player of the Year.

Jay Jalbert
Legends of Lacrosse
Jay Jalbert is one of the most dynamic, tough, and talented lacrosse players ever.
He is a 3x All-American, 4x MLL All-Star, 2003 MLL MVP, 3x NLL All-Star, and All-World Midfielder for Team USA in 2006. At Virginia, he dominated as a two-way midfielder scoring, causing turnovers, and scooping up a ridiculous amount of ground balls. He helped lead the Cavs to a National Championship in 1999 and was named Midfielder of the Year.
His pro career was brief but spectacular. He won an NLL Championship in 2001 with the Philadelphia Wings and another in 2006 with the Colorado Mammoth. He is one of the best Americans to ever play in the NLL. He had the game-winning assist in Overtime to seal the 2003 MLL Championship for the Long Island Lizards.
His work with Jalbert Productions and Maverik Lacrosse growing the game through documentaries and video has been just as important as his play on the field. He has had an incredible impact on every level of the game and his passion for this sport will help take it to new heights.

Jim Veltman
Legends of Lacrosse
Jim Veltman is simply one of the best all-around lacrosse players ever.
“Scoop” won right away with the Buffalo Bandits his rookie season and would go on to lead the Toronto Rock to 5 championships as their captain. He gave everything he had every game for his teams to win.
Jim is an 8x MILL/NLL Champion, 4x Mann Cup Champion, 2003 World Champion, 2004 NLL MVP, a member of the NLL Hall of Fame, and scooped up 2,417 loose balls in his NLL career.
He was so incredible at so many different parts of the game whether it was scoring, passing, stick checks, and especially finding a way to get every loose ball insight. Jim was so smart and played the game the way it was meant to be played. He was an amazing leader of his teams and we know he will do a great job now as GM of the New York Riptide. We are proud to have shared the floor with one of the best to ever play the game.

John Christmas
Legends of Lacrosse
John Christmas is one of the best dodgers we’ve ever seen.
Johnny took college lacrosse by storm as an underclassman with his speed and skill around the net for the Cavaliers in the early 2000s. He went on to have a great pro career in both the MLL and NLL. Everyone he touched the ball you knew he was going to do something special.
He is a 2x All-American, NCAA Champion, MLL All-Star, and one of the sport’s greatest ambassadors.
Whether he was diving through the crease, slinging a pass from X, or dissecting defenses with his insane change of direction, Johnny made plays no one else could. His work ethic and fearlessness made him so hard to stop. He’s also made huge contributions off the field as a coach and spreading the game all over the world with his company Encore Lacrosse.

John Gagliardi
Legends of Lacrosse
John Gagliardi was a threat on both sides of the field with his crushing checks and his ability to score in transition.
Gagliardi wreaked havoc on opposing players while at Johns Hopkins before going on to have a great career in both the NLL and MLL. He played in the 2000 MLL Summer Showcase and would go on to play for the Long Island Lizards from 2001-2009. A 2x All-American, 2x MLL Champion, 7x MLL All-Star, All-World Defenseman for Team USA, and an all-around tough-as-nails player. He loved pushing the ball on fast breaks and had the skills to beat you from the 2pt line or inside with a fancy finish.

John Grant Jr.
Legends of Lacrosse
John Grant Jr. is a human highlight reel who dominated pro lacrosse for two decades.
His game was forged in the rinks of Peterborough, Ontario as he followed in his father’s footsteps. At Delaware and then in the pros, Junior used his otherworldly stick skills to fill the back of the net. He is the only player to win MLL and NLL MVPs in the same season in 2007. If you needed a big goal you put the ball in his stick.
He is a 2x All-American, 6x MLL Champion, 5x Mann Cup Champion, 2007 NLL Champion, 2006 World Champion, and is second all-time in points in pro field lacrosse with 643.
What is there to say about Junior that hasn’t already been said. He is one of the greatest players to ever pick up a lacrosse stick. Always cracking jokes and had a smile on his face, but also the most intense competitor once he stepped on the field. His highlights could make up a reel hours long so we picked a few more old-school ones to show his endless creativity. He’s also a tremendous coach and Hopkins is lucky to have him.

John Tavares
Legends of Lacrosse
Johnny Who??? Johnny Tavares!
John Tavares is the greatest scorer in NLL history. #11 has an incredible resume; (here are just a few accolades) 3x NLL MVP, 19X All-Pro selection, 8X Mann Cup Champion, and the NLL All-Time leading scorer.
John’s lacrosse IQ is off the charts! Unbelievable vision, sticks skills, competitiveness, and toughness. Willing to put his body on the line every night and never afraid to take a hit to get his shot off. Think about the eyes on your stick when you’re shooting and passing he would say – one of the most accurate feeders/ shooters the game has ever seen.

Josh Sims
Legends of Lacrosse
Josh Sims is one of the most dominant midfielders the game has ever seen.
Josh was a key part of the Princeton dynasty of the 90s before becoming a pioneer of pro lacrosse. He played in the first MLL season and was one of the best Americans in the NLL. He was a workhorse who was a threat to score every time he touched the ball.
Josh is a 3x All-American, 2x National Champion, 2x NCAA Midfielder of the Year, 2x MLL Champion, 5x MLL All-Star, NLL Champion, and NLL All-Star.
His motor was unmatched as he sparked transition with his blazing speed. He could sling pinpoint passes or 2 pointers with his signature traditional pocket. He was a true thoroughbred midfielder who played defense, ran faceoff wings, and was lethal dodging downhill. He was a great leader in the beginnings of pro lacrosse and helped the PLL get off the ground in their first season in 2019.

Kevin Alexander
Legends of Lacrosse
Kevin Alexander is simply one of the best all-around lacrosse players ever.
Kevin had a legendary career in his hometown of Victoria where he won a Minto Cup and 2 Mann Cups. He retired from box lacrosse in 1986 until he helped lead the Buffalo Bandits to two straight MILL championships in 1992 & 1993. He would also play field lacrosse for Team Canada at the World Championships 4 times (1982, 1986, 1990, & 1994).
Kevin is a Minto Cup Champion, 2x Mann Cup Champion, 1986 Field World Championships Best Midfielder, 2x MILL Champion, and in 300 career Senior games in Canada, he amassed 797 goals and 584 assists for 1381 points.
In a time when players used wooden sticks or the first plastic sticks, his incredible stick skills and savvy goal-scoring set him apart. He was a great faceoff man and a loose ball machine. He was truly one of the pioneers of the sport and passed along his knowledge for many years as a coach in the NLL.

Kevin Cassese
Legends of Lacrosse
Kevin Cassese is the definition of a do-it-all midfielder.
Cassese led Duke to 3 NCAA Tournament appearances and was a force of nature on the lacrosse field who could shift the tide of the game on both ends of the field. He is an amazing athlete who took faceoffs, played on man-up, played on man down, was a GB machine, and put his heart and soul into every game he played. He carved out a great pro career in the MLL as he thrived pushing the ball in transition and hitting 2 pointers with his rocket of a shot.
He is a 3x All-American, 2x Tewaaraton Award Finalist, 2002 NCAA Midfielder of the Year, 2x Captain at Duke, 3x Member of Team USA (Gold in 2002 & 2010), MLL All-Star, and now one of the best coaches in college lacrosse.
Cassese’s game was defined by his toughness, but his knowledge of the game set him apart. He anticipated plays and pounced on opportunities. An incredible leader who always put the team first, he knew what to say in the big moments and his teammates rallied around him. It’s no surprise to us to see how he has transformed the Lehigh program since he took the reins as Head Coach.

Kevin Finneran
Legends of Lacrosse
Kevin Finneran is one of the most underrated lacrosse players ever.
Finneran was a 1st Team All-American at Ohio Wesleyan before going on to carve out one of the best careers an American has ever had in the MILL/NLL. He picked up the box game right away and found himself playing with the Gait brothers and Tom Marechek on the incredible Philadelphia Wings teams of the 90s. He would go on to help the Wings win 4 MILL/NLL Championships and won another with the Toronto Rock in 2003. He continued to excel at field lacrosse as he helped Team USA win Gold in 1998 and won MLL championships in 2001 & 2003 with the Long Island Lizards.
He was so smooth and could do it all; run point on man-up, play defense, back down a defender, and crank it from the outside. He was an amazing competitor and teammate who we loved to watch play. We hope he finds his way to the Hall of Fame very soon.

Kevin Leveille
Legends of Lacrosse
Kevin Leveille is the greatest inside finisher we have ever seen.
Kevin was a star at UMass helping lead them to the NCAA Tournament before going on to have an incredible MLL career. He could score in so many different ways with his silky smooth hands.
He is a 3x All-American, 6x MLL All-Star, Captain of Team USA in 2014, and finished his MLL career 2nd all-time in goals.
Kevin is as crafty as they come. He was so smart off-ball and always seemed to find a way to get a shot off. He made up for his smaller size with toughness and determination to win at all costs. A great leader from a great family, he continues to be an ambassador for the game with Summit Lacrosse Ventures and of course helping run the legendary Lake Placid tournament.

Kevin Lowe
Legends of Lacrosse
Kevin Lowe was one of the best feeders and most clutch players the game has ever seen.
The Hall of Famer from Princeton always had his head up looking for the open man, played with a silky smooth style, and made everyone around him better. A 3x All-American, 2x National Champion, 1994 NCAA Attackman of the Year, 2002 World Champion with Team USA, and 2003 MLL Champion, Kevin is one of the most successful players in lacrosse history. He is the only player to score an overtime game-winning goal in the NCAA and Major League Lacrosse championship games. He held the Princeton points record with 247 until Michael Sowers broke it in 2019.

Kyle Sweeney
Legends of Lacrosse
Kyle Sweeney is one of the greatest Long Stick Midfielders ever.
Sweeney dominated at Georgetown and made the transition to pro lacrosse right away with his versatile skill set. He could shut down a team’s best middie and then outscore them. He terrorized offensive players with his takeaway checks and vacuumed up every ground ball insight. He felt as comfortable behind the net as an attackman and shot the lights out in transition.
Sweeney is a 3x All-American, 4x MLL Champion, 7x MLL All-Star, 2x Team USA Member (2010 World Champion), and played 307 career pro lacrosse games between the MLL & NLL.
He was a mentor to a generation of LSMs including fellow Hoya legend Brodie Merrill. A one of a kind player and person, we have so much respect for #7.

Mark Millon
Legends of Lacrosse
Mark Millon has put the time into the game of lacrosse to define his greatness.
This big-game player played the game with a confidence that no defenseman on the planet was going to stop him; unreal change of direction, textbook stick protection, and a fierce competitor. You want to talk about stick work? We are still not sure if Million was right-handed or left, but we do know for certain that he was rock solid with both.
One fact that Powell Lacrosse can confirm is that he is not afraid to jump in the Chesapeake Bay. Today we salute the Hall of Fame attackman and drop some mad respect to you as one of the very best to ever do it! Just Sayin’: 2x USA Player – 1994 World Games MVP – 1998 World’s Best Attackman – All World 94 & 98 – MLL MVP 2005

Matt Striebel
Legends of Lacrosse
Matt Striebel is one of the best midfielders and on the run shooters ever.
At Princeton, he was a two-sport athlete in lacrosse and soccer while being a key part of the Tigers reaching Final Fours and winning titles. He converted to midfield as a senior and quickly used his athleticism to excel at the position. He would become arguably the best midfielder in the world during his MLL and International career.
Matt is a 2x All-American, 2x National Champion, 8x MLL All-Star, 3x MLL Champion, 3x Team USA member, 2x World Champion, and a member of the Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
His split dodge and on-the-run shot made him a threat every time he touched the ball. His outside shot became even better as his pro career went on and he began stinging 2 pointers. He made every team he played on better with his relentless and passionate play. #9 is the best teammate you could ask for and now a leader in the lacrosse community with the Trilogy Lacrosse program.

Mickey Jarboe
Legends of Lacrosse
Mickey Jarboe is one of the best college goalies ever who returned to the game after 7 years away to become MLL Goalie of the Year.
Mickey was a star for the Naval Academy as he backstopped them to the NCAA playoffs his junior year. He finished his college career with 701 saves. He would go on to serve his country as a helicopter pilot and fate brought him back to the field. He suited up for the Los Angeles Riptide for 2 seasons leading them to the playoffs both years.
He is a 2x All-American, 2x NCAA Goalie of the Year (1999 & 2000), 2x MLL All-Star, and claimed 2008 MLL Goalie of the Year honors.
He had cat-like reflexes and tremendous energy that fueled his teams to win games with his big saves. He wasn’t the flashiest but could flat out stop the ball. His no-fear style of play made him one of the toughest goalies to play against. As soon as he made a save the ball was up the field with his precision clearing passes. His commitment to his service in the Navy and playing pro lacrosse on the weekends was incredible to see. It was an honor to share the field with one of the hardest working guys to ever step between the pipes.

Mike Battista
Legends of Lacrosse
Mike Battista was one of the best midfielders to play in the early days of Major League Lacrosse.
Mike won two Massachusetts State Championships at Newton North before going on to become a 2x All-American for the Loyola Greyhounds. He made an impact immediately as a pro playing in the MLL Summer Showcase and scoring the 1st goal in Boston Cannons history in 2001. His career was cut short because of concussions in 2006, but fans will never forget his passion on the field. He is a true hometown hero and was a huge part of helping grow the lacrosse community in the Boston area.
#44 was a gritty two-way midfielder who lined up on faceoff wings, bull dodged his way to the net, and battled all over the field. He could take over a game with his rocket of a 2 point shot and he was always the hardest worker on the field. We are proud to have played with and against such a great competitor and role model like Mike.

Mike Regan
Legends of Lacrosse
Mike came out of Butler University to become one of the best shooters in the MLL and NLL during his pro career.
Mike was lethal from the 2 point line and was one of the best pure shooters our game has ever seen. An Albany, NY native, he got to play for his hometown team with the Albany Attack and helped lead them to an appearance in the 2002 NLL Championship.
A 2x All-American, 4x MLL All-Star, MLL Offensvie MVP, and a member of Team USA in the 2002 and 2004 Heritage Cups, you could count on him to shoot the heck out of the ball every game. Mike was an amazing athlete and battled to make plays in between the lines while also being a threat in transition. He was never afraid to let one fly. A great player, a great person, and now a great coach, we salute Mike Regan!

Mike Watson
Legends of Lacrosse
When Michael Watson was on the field you knew that a strike was going to happen, you just didn’t know when.
#4 was an electric and creative scorer that had a great mid-range game to go along with his crafty work around the crease. He joined Doug Knight at UVA and together they provided an aerial attack on opposing defenses. Knight from the left side while Watson was often airborne on the right.
Michael was as well-rounded as they come & certainly has the world-class resume to show he was one of the all-time greats to play the attack position. 4x NCAA All-American, 4X All ACC, Attackman of the Year, Team USA, and a National Hall of Fame member. You are a great ambassador for our sport and Powell Lacrosse salutes you #4!

Nicky Polanco
Legends of Lacrosse
Nicky Polanco is one of the hardest-hitting and most skilled defensemen ever.
Nicky worked his way up through Junior College at Nassau Community College before dominating for the Hofstra Pride. He went on to become one of the most feared defenders in pro lacrosse with his ability to lock down a team’s best player and crush anybody who came through the crease.
He is a 2x All-American, 2x JUCO Champion, 2x MLL Defensive Player of the Year, 3x MLL Champion, a Member of Team USA, 6x MLL All-Star, and a huge reason why a generation of defensemen decided to pick up a long pole.
He set the tone every game with his intensity, big checks, and ability to make big plays for his team. His heart is as big off the field as it is on as he has given so much of his time to help teach youth players and advance the sport. We had so many great battles against him and also had the pleasure to play with one of the baddest men to ever lace them up.

Paul Cantabene
Legends of Lacrosse
Paul Cantabene is one of the best do it all midfielders ever.
He came out of Rochester, NY to help lead the Loyola Greyhounds to 4 straight playoff appearances. He gutted it out in the MILL/NLL as a pro for several years and would then take the first-ever faceoff in MLL history in 2001.
Cantabene is an All-American, 3x NLL All-Star, 5x MLL All-Star, 3x MLL Champion, retired as the MLL all-time leader in faceoff wins, and scooped up 1400 ground balls in his pro career.
Paul was a relentless worker whether it was grinding out faceoff wins, playing defense, or scoring a big goal in transition. He was a true midfielder who played all over the field and for a time was the best faceoff man in the world. He even played on the power play in the NLL. He is also a longtime college coach and guided Stevenson to the National Championship in 2013.

Rob Shek
Legends of Lacrosse
Rob Shek worked harder than anyone to improve his game. His work ethic and desire to win made him one of the best midfielders our game has ever seen.
Rob had a legendary career at Towson where he led the Tigers to the 1991 National Championship game. He had a cannon of a shot with both hands and was a beast making plays all over the field. A 1st Team All-American, 2x Team USA member, National Hall of Fame member, and champion in both the NLL and MLL, he was a fierce competitor for every team he played for. Rob is an inspiration to players everywhere showing that through hard work and dedication to your craft you can become great!

Roy Colsey
Legends of Lacrosse
Roy is one of the all-time greatest midfielders our sport has ever seen.
An unbelievable lacrosse mind combined with a rocket shot, super vision, toughness, competitiveness, and heart. Roy was a great teammate and leader that was always willing to do whatever it took to get the W for his team.
A 4x All-American, 1995 NCAA Midfielder of the Year, 2x National Champion, 3x MLL Champion, a member of Team USA, and had a 9-year career in the NLL, he dominated at every level. His game can be summed up with the motto of Syracuse Lacrosse: Head.Heart.Hustle. Roy played his best when the game was on the line and you wanted the ball in his stick in the 4th Quarter. An amazing leader in our sport, Roy inspired players everywhere not to be afraid to rip it from outside. We salute Roy Colsey!

Ryan Boyle
Legends of Lacrosse
Ryan Boyle is one of the best X attackmen ever.
Ryan came out of Gilman to immediately make an impact for Princeton as he had the game-winning assist in the 2001 National Championship. After his storied college career, his skill and competitiveness made him one of the best in both the MLL and the NLL.
Ryan is a 4x All-American, NCAA Champion, Rookie of the Year in both MLL & NLL, 7x MLL All-Star, 2x NLL All-Star, 4x MLL Champion, and 2x World Champion with Team USA.
RB had next-level lacrosse IQ and was always finding the weak spots in defenses. He knew exactly when to strike with a cross-field pass or perfectly timed inside roll. He was so tough around the net as he took a beating from defenders, but he kept going hard to the cage no matter what. He is a great leader and someone you wanted on your team as he made everyone around him better. He is now dissecting the game of lacrosse for the next generation to learn through Trilogy Lacrosse and on PLL broadcasts just like he dissected defenses.

Ryan Curtis
Legends of Lacrosse
Ryan Curtis was a player that demanded your respect.
You knew if you were going to draw a matchup against #6 that you better bring your lunch pail to work and be ready for a long and challenging day at the office. Tough, mean, athletic, and absolutely came ready to play in every game.
A 2x First Team All-American, Defenseman of the Year, National Champion, 5x Major League Lacrosse All-Star, MLL Defensive Player of the Year, and a Team USA member in 2006. Powell Lacrosse would like to salute Ryan for his play on the defensive end of the field. He continues to be a great ambassador and coach for our amazing sport!

Ryan Wade
Legends of Lacrosse
Ryan Wade is the true definition of a Do-It-All midfielder!
He was an offensive threat, great shooter, top-tier face-off man, and could play Short Stick Defense with the best of them. You don’t see this type of well-rounded midfielder anymore and during his playing days, you couldn’t find anyone that could do-it-all like Wade did.
He was a 2x Team USA Member, 3x First Team All-American, 2x ACC Player of the Year, NCAA Midfielder of the Year, and a National Champion with UNC. This intense competitor from Annapolis, Maryland is an excellent example of what can be achieved through maximum effort & work ethic. Powell Lacrosse salutes National Hall of Fame member Ryan Wade.

Sal LoCascio
Legends of Lacrosse
Sal LoCascio is arguably the greatest goalie of all time.
The Hall of Fame keeper was big, tough, fearless, and had crazy quick hands. The UMass & Long Island legend had an incredible career; 4x NCAA All-American, 5x NLL All-Pro, and 3X Team USA gold medal winner. He was the guy that you wanted in between the pipes when the game was on the line. The bigger the stage the bigger he played.
Thank you #2 for your leadership, competitiveness, and for inspiring goalies everywhere.

Scott Bacigalupo
Legends of Lacrosse
Scott Bacigalupo is a Hall of Fame goalie that played the position at an extremely high level!
His college resume is super impressive; 4x All-American, 3x Goalie of the Year, NCAA Player of the Year, and 2x National Champion. There has never been a goalie to be named the Goalie of the Year 3x’s! A wicked competitor that was determined to stop every shot – especially when the game was on the line and it mattered most. He had great position and discipline in-between the pipes, but what sticks out the most about Scott was his ability to make a huge save in 1 on 1 situations. Kick save and a beauty!
#10, we salute you at Powell Lacrosse for your unbelievable lacrosse career.

Shawn Nadelen
Legends of Lacrosse
Shawn Nadelen was one of the best defenders in pro lacrosse for almost a decade.
He became a dominant defenseman at Johns Hopkins after converting from playing short stick. His athleticism allowed him to continue to switch between playing d-mid and long pole in the pros as he went on to win 3 MLL Championships with the Bayhawks while also having a great NLL career. He had ACL surgery less than 6 months before the 2010 World Games and battled his way back to help Team USA win the Gold. He would also win the 2010 MLL Championship a month later.
An All-American, MLL All-Star, 2x Team USA member, a great leader, amazing teammate, and a true warrior of the sport, it’s no surprise that he is now one of the best coaches in the college game at Towson.

Steve Kisslinger
Legends of Lacrosse
Steve Kisslinger is one of the best takeaway defenders ever.
His college career took him from Herkimer to Adelphi and then finally to Towson where he helped them to a National title appearance in 1991. He was a mainstay in the club lacrosse scene of the 90s, in the MILL/NLL, and finished his career playing in the first MLL season. If pro field lacrosse had been around in his prime, he would’ve been a star.
Kiss had every check in his arsenal and was unbelievable in the middle of the field scooping up GBs or sparking transition. He was a wild card who played with an edge but put fear into anyone he covered. He inspired a generation of long-stick midfielders and continues to pass on his tricks of the trade.

Terry Riordan
Legends of Lacrosse
Terry Riordan is one of the greatest goal scorers in lacrosse history.
Terry came to Johns Hopkins from Baldwin, NY, and left as the storied program’s all-time points leader with 247. In his few years playing pro, he was a goal-scoring machine for the Long Island Lizards & Los Angeles Riptide. Terry used his 6’5′ frame to battle his way to the net and always found a way to get open.
The Blue Jay legend is a 4x All-American, 1995 NCAA Player of the Year, 2x MLL All-Star, and a 2001 MLL Champion. In the conversation of the best attackman of all time, Terry deserves a spot. Terry was a fierce competitor on the field and one of the nicest people in lacrosse off of it. We are proud to have shared the field with him.

Tillman Johnson
Legends of Lacrosse
Tillman Johnson is one of the greatest and most clutch goalies of all time.
Tillman made an immediate impact at Virginia starting as a freshman and would go on to start all 59 games in his college career. With his aggressive style, he could change the tide of a game with huge save after huge save. Even in the pros, he would regularly have 20 save games.
He is a 4x All-American, 2003 Goalie of the Year, Most Outstanding Player of the 2003 NCAA Tournament, MLL All-Star, and an inspiration for an entire generation of goalies.
Tillman played with a huge heart and unbelievable reflexes that helped him make some of the most ridiculous saves we have ever seen with his biggest coming in the 2003 National Championship. #9 was an unstoppable force for the Cavaliers during their playoff runs and a great teammate who we were glad to have on our side for a few years with the Rochester Rattlers.

Tim Goettelmann
Legends of Lacrosse
Tim Goettelmann – Aka MONSTER gets a monster salute from Powell Lacrosse. The Loyola University All-American and long-time Long Island Lizard of Major League Lacrosse was an unstoppable force when he had the ball in his stick.
#9 had unreal body control and played the game with a reckless abandon that was fun to watch. Monster played the attack position on his terms. If a defenseman was in his path as he went to the cage he would make them pay! An impressive professional career that landed him 2X MLL Championships, 2X Sportsman of the Year, and multiple MLL All-Star awards.
In 2010, Tim donated his entire MLL salary to the Pediatric Emergency Wing at the Cohen Children’s Medical Center. He has also started a foundation, Monster’s Kids, that raises funds for the same Children’s Medical Center. You want to talk about using the lacrosse platform for the betterment of kids? Mad respect! Monster is a true gentleman, a class act, and one of the most genuine people in lacrosse. His impact on the sport and his reputation has carried just as much weight off the field as it did on it.

Tim Goldstein
Legends of Lacrosse
Tim Goldstein was one hell of a player!
In 1987, Tim was a first-team All-American, Attackman of the Year, Player of the Year, Most Outstanding Player in the NCAA tournament, and scored 100 points on the season. This pass-first attackman had next-level vision with an amazing lacrosse IQ. The 1990 Team USA member was smart, skilled, deceptive, intense, creative, and super competitive. When you played with TG you knew who the quarterback was.

Tim Soudan
Legends of Lacrosse
Tim Soudan had a tremendous career at UMass before going on to become a legend for the Rochester Knighthawks and Rattlers. A highly skilled and hard-nosed player, Soudo dominated all over the field picking up GBs, taking faceoffs, playing lockdown defense, and ripping the net with his cannon of a shot.
A 2x All-American, 1994 & 1998 Team USA member, 1997 NLL Champion, and 2014 MLL Coach of the Year, Soudo has had a huge influence on the game at every level.
Soudo was an incredible player and is now one of the best coaches and leaders in lacrosse. He continues to make an impact on the game as the head coach of the Chrome Lacrosse Club.

Tim Whiteley
Legends of Lacrosse
Tim Whiteley was the QB of the famous Virginia attack unit that also included Hall of Famers Michael Watson and Doug Knight.
Not the biggest guy, not the strongest, not the quickest, or the fastest, but found a way to get it done on the field with unbelievable lacrosse knowledge. Tim had incredible vision, stick skills, leadership, and competitiveness. He was a leader, and you could tell by the way that he played the game his father was a coach.
#14 was an incredible feeder, the leading assist getter in the ACC, and one of the best attackmen to ever feed the rock. During his time at UVA, he assisted on 16% of the teams’ goals during his 4-year career. We salute the 3X All-American Tim Whiteley for his team-first attitude, unselfish play, and pass-first mindset. This UVA attack line was as rock-solid as there has ever been or will ever be!

Tracey Kelusky
Legends of Lacrosse
Tracey Kelusky is one of the craftiest goal scorers ever.
Tracey grew up playing box lacrosse in Peterborough, ON, and came to the US to play at Hartford. He would go on to have an amazing pro career with a short stint in the MLL before becoming one of the best to ever play in the NLL.
He is a 5x NLL All-Star, 2001 NLL Rookie of the Year, 3x World Indoor Champion, 2x NLL Champion, and a member of the NLL Hall of Fame. He never let his size stop him from being the hardest working guy on the floor. He had every trick in the book to fake out goalies or get off a perfect pass.
He became a Captain in the NLL right away and would go on to lead Calgary to its first NLL Championship in 2004 and another in 2009. He was an incredible role model on and off the floor/field as a player and continues to be now as a coach. We know he will do a great job building the newest NLL franchise in Fort Worth, TX as their first head coach.
