Lake Placid Lacrosse - Update 2

Lacrosse is all about the Team. Team effort, team camaraderie, and team solidarity.

Today was no different. After I visited the medic tent trying to come up with my (new) "Game Face", I was met by some of my team, ready to show solidarity and support in a way only my friends could do...I'll let the picture talk for itself:


Tippy, Strongheart, DJ, Messiah, and Beetle Baily (mocking me)

It was officially game time.

The scenery for this game was second to none. What's not to love? Mountains on all sides, The Lake Placid Olympic ski jump as a backdrop, and the weather was perfect. Referee whistles from a minimum of 10 fields all playing simultaneously - This is Field Lacrosse country.


We needed a win, and win we did. Final score 12 - 8 for team Canada. It was a bit of a battle,but to summarize, great goal tending (Sawicki)- great Long Poles on defence (Aird, McMillan, Donville and Simpson) - Midfield was solid, props to Board and Dimarco, and our Attack guys were great, Wasson had a big game.

We move on. Tomorrow at 4:30 we play the Number One team in our group. It will be a tough game.

But, with our Canadian Spirit...and Solidarity.....we might sneak out a win......I will let you know.

  2. You probably hit your head because you were trying to get the beer out as quick as possible because you didn't want people to see what kind of pouffy beer you had.

    Good Luck??? Break a Leg???
