Mike Powell’s impact on the game ages so well. This is from an old Easton promo shoot that should be posted in full at some point. Floating sticks. Ninjas in the woods. It’s wild. Thanks @cortkim3 and @zachheffner Happy birthday to the legend Mike Powell.

Tom Marechek was an extension of the Gaits. They’d played together in British Columbia, they played with the same style, and they came to America to play under the same Carrier Dome spotlight. We heard about Marechek before he got to Syracuse because of the Gaits and expectations

Connor Martin did an amazing thing. At a time when the lax bro image was becoming overexposed, he had fun with it and poked fun at it. But he also embraced it and clearly loved it. A magazine spread doesn’t properly pay tribute to Con Bro Chill. Give him, his old Warrior spots,

Virginia knows something about playing in Final Fours in Philly. 05, 06, 13, 15, 19, with two wins. I can only imagine the speeches in Charlottesville this fall ball. In 2026 the stakes are high. This was one of the first times we were embedded with a team on that stage.

“Thanks to an increased presence of college recruiters in Canadian boxla arenas and on Native reservations, more players with indoor backgrounds are making waves on NCAA fields than ever before.” Terry Foy, in the preamble to the 2014 Denver games. 📸 Larry Palumbo

Has there ever been a finer moment in lacrosse broadcasting? Andy Shay embodies the nose to the grindstone, hard work pays off coaching mindset. He must have been holding so much tension for months if not years. We’re watching a grown man’s brain completely snap - from joy.

Back in the day, Inside Lacrosse produced shows for ESPN. We’d build one hour specials, to run before and after the college season. We even had watch parties in the at-the-time revolutionary ESPN Zone, in the Inner Harbor. This Powell Hour segment was a popular one. When we

Before there was a PLL, before there was an MLL, before there was even Ocean City or Placid, Vail was it. The gathering of the world’s best talent. Playing for free. This video from Toyota lacrosse weekly has been posted before. Too many names to list. What is your finest Vail

Zed Williams scored 74 goals for the Silver Creek Black Knights… As an eighth grader. He is a testament of the power of growing up in a family of older brothers who have no problem pounding on you all day long. His high school coach Bill Brennan pretty much said all that

Some checks are about flash, some about intimidation. This was simply what was available to Glatzel in a moment of hustle. It doesn’t land if he doesn’t throw the hand.

I wonder if there should be a larger tribute made to the take away defensemen. A time to pay tribute to the samurai warriors of our sport. Something like shark week.

Growing up Pat McCabe blew our minds. Surgical checks and total brawler. He was the first defenseman I saw strip an attackman in a game and give it back to the guy to try again. Iconic defensemen all had a screw loose and they all played mind games. What is something you saw

Alfie always called this his “butter stick” since it was as smooth as butter. There’s nothing like having traditional netting broken in to where the whole pocket feels like one piece of soft cloth. #indigenouspeoplesday

“Play with honor, play with respect, but that doesn’t mean you don’t play hard.” Neal Powless. “The actual game could be ferocious, really. If you play with less energy and less aggression … that probably was disrespectful to all the past participants.” Sid Jamieson.

One day Ryan Wade was in high school playing with an STX Sam with a shallow pocket. Then he saw the Gaits play. He copied their sticks and their style and started playing like this…

If you could travel back to see one aspect of lacrosse unrelated to game play what would it be? I wish I could properly describe the College Park final four parking lot experience of the 90s. It was a family friendly experience during the day. They also let people camp right

It took him years and a lot of help from others, but it was a one-of-a-kind thing of beauty. I got to witness many times how much Alf loved setting up these sticks and telling people the history of each one. Nothing was hands off, he wanted them to be charged up with human

Charlotte North, Kayla Traynor and others have since clouded the debate, but in her prime Jen Adams was the undisputed greatest player in history. She helped Cindy Timchal win the last four of her seven consecutive titles at Maryland, going 21-0 in 99 and 23-0 in 01. And oh
