“My personal goal is to break every single face-off or groundball record ever written.”

Alex Smith is one of the rare players who would make a statement like this and then could back it up.

He looks more like a restaurant owner than a faceoff guy… But he’s got a world class pedigree in both.

Alex opened his first eatery, a few blocks from the Inside Lacrosse offices. A Haagen Daaz corner shop, which is what Mike Keegan is shown here interviewing him about. At the end of the video they faced off on the countertop with a scoop of vanilla. I believe it’s still there today. Atlas Restaurant Group has 57 properties, and some IL talent on their staff.

At Delaware, he rewrote the record books: over 1,000 faceoff wins, 550+ groundballs, and three straight years leading the nation at the stripe. A three-time All-American, 2007 CAA Player of the Year, and leader of Delaware’s first-ever Final Four run, Smith helped redefine what a specialist could be. He carried that edge to the pros, winning an MLL title with Chesapeake and a World Championship with Team USA.

Note his chewed up gloves. If you’re a face off man this is what you’re going for.

The old video player was solid, for news.

But what we really need to dig through and find was ILTV Cribs.

Joe Sweeney did a great job for the resources we had in the day.

@FlowGo37 Before we opened Italian Disco, we brought Nino down to Baltimore for a few days as a consultant to help us make the perfect dough. Hes out of control but a true master of his craft.
