@Brian_Kelly19 I was founder & CEO of 3d Lacrosse, we cared deeply and worked hard at player development, yet my son spent 10 summers playing box in St Catharines/Coquitlam from peewee thru juniors, not playing summer club lax circuit.
Canada has a fraction of the lacrosse participation compared to the USA, and they spend a fraction of the cost in programming.
In spite of the much smaller player pool, Canada has won multiple field lacrosse World Championships recently and they have produced many of the most skilled goal scorers ever.
They also produced the best field defenseman of all time and a recent PLL defenseman of the year.
They generate field lacrosse greatness per capita at a rate that puts the US to shame.
Do you think their youth development model is centered around playing in 10-20 field lacrosse tournaments per year?
Jack Oldman had himself a game for @OhioStateMLAX today in the team's 14-4 win over Detriot Mercy.
Oldman won 13 of 19 face-offs, scooped up 12 groundballs, and even scored a goal.
NLL teams need to be keeping track of this elite Canadian face-off-winning machine.

The NLL has shown a 61% increase in ticket sales year over year and last weekend the @NLLRoughnecks sold over 25k tickets
My wife called and asked me to get the chicken thighs out of the freezer. I told her we don’t have any chicken thighs in the freezer so she said she’d check when she gets home- your thoughts and prayers are appreciated
Absolutely mind blowing they would drop our NATIONAL SUMMER SPORT from the CANADA GAMES !? Honestly, who is making this type of decision!? Just ridiculous and quite frankly shameful. I sincerely hope these people figure this out and do the right thing. #LACROSSE belongs !
