On this episode of the SeventySix Capital Sports Leadership Show, Wayne Kimmel interviewed Marc Riccio, President & CEO of USA LacrosseA former collegiate lacrosse player at Hofstra, Riccio's professional experience has led to specialties in media, fan engagement, sport and entertainment business operations, building new companies, revenue generation, executive leadership, and employee development.Under Riccio's leadership, USA Lacrosse has focused on three core principles – Fuel the Growth, Enrich the Experience and Field the Best National Teams – while generating record revenue to help support investment in the game.Riccio started his tenure at USA Lacrosse in August 2021 with the sport coming off two consecutive interrupted seasons due to the COVID pandemic. Participation levels have rebounded following that period and USA Lacrosse now has more members in the key 7-9 age segment than at any time in the organization's history.USA Lacrosse has also seen a robust expansion of its national team program, now sponsoring 14 teams from senior-level to youth national teams. On the field, for the first time in more than two decades, the U.S. is ranked either No. 1 or No. 2 in every discipline of the sport and has won five World Lacrosse championships (2022 senior women, 2022 U21 men, 2023 senior men, 2024 U20 women, 2024 women's box) and one World Games title (2025 women's sixes) during his tenure.The national team success comes at a pivotal point. USA Lacrosse was recognized by the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) as part of its Affiliate Organizations Council in 2023 and is on the pathway to becoming an official National Governing Body of the USPOC as the Olympics draw nearer.Riccio spent 17 years leading business operation and development for the NFL's New York Jets before spending seven years ahead of his USA Lacrosse appointment working in roles focused on strategy, growth and organizational change for major sports brands and events.Riccio grew up in Canandaigua, N.Y., and was introduced to the sport when he was 12 years old by a neighbor. He went on to become the first high school All-American at Canandaigua Academy, where he played both football and lacrosse. He was later inducted into the Canandaigua Academy Sports Hall of Fame and the Upstate Lacrosse Hall of Fame. At Hofstra, Riccio played lacrosse for former USA men's national team head coach John Danowski. Riccio is a member of the New York State Bar, has a Juris Doctor degree from St. John's University School of Law, and an M.B.A. in Marketing and a B.A. in Communications from Hofstra University.Marc Riccio:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcriccio21/

Kim Russell has started and coached lacrosse teams for girls and women at every level - youth through international.  Her nickname, "The Hippie Love Coach" - was given to her by former players.  She is currently the Head Women's Lacrosse Coach & Director of National Teams for the US Virgin Islands and an appointed member of The Women in Sport Commission for World Lacrosse.  Kim was removed from her job as Head Women's Lacrosse Coach at Oberlin College last fall.  She was, in her own words, "Burned at the Stake"  after re-posting a post on her Instagram story in 2022 that congratulated Emma Weyant, the REAL WOMAN winner of the 500 Freestyle (When Leah Thomas, a male was given the gold medal in the 2022 NCAA 500 yd freestyle): https://www.iwf.org/female-athlete-stories/kim-russell/ Kim now spends most of her time traveling around the country advocating for girls and women as an ambassador for the Independent Women's Forum.  Kim is also the mother of four adult children, Maddie (29), Sam (27), Anna (24) and Charlie (19).

This year, the 2024 World Lacrosse Women's Box Championship will be played in Utica, New York, from 20-29 September 2024. Lacrosse is a sport that is played in large numbers in the United States and Canada and has leagues all over the world.  It can be played indoors (Box) or outdoors (Field) and Ireland is ranked in the top half of international teams. Many of whom play the sport professionally.  Ireland has its own men's and women's leagues and the University of Galway play in the Women's League known as the Irish Women's Lacrosse League (IWLL). The League is divided into two seasons. The Newtownards Cup season is played in the Autumn and the IWLL in the Spring. Both are played to World Lacrosse standards and are round robin style. One of the University of Galway players is Sarah Hontz who has been named on the Irish team for this year's World Championships.  She joined John Mulligan in the studio to talk about the sport, the University of Galway team and the efforts they have to make to get to the Championships in September.  Contact for sponsors: Anne Murphy (amurphy@irelandlacross.ie), Catherine Conway (cconway@irelandlacrosse.ie)   gofundme link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/ireland-lacrosse-box-world-championship-2024-w

“All good men and women must take responsibility to create legacies that will take the next generation to a level we could only imagine.” — Jim Rohn I am so excited to welcome the Women's Lacrosse coaching staff of my alma matter, THE George Mason University! Today is a special convo since it has been 20 years since I competed for the university and it's such a blessing to reconnect with the coaches to discuss their mission, vision, and values for GMU LAX 2024. Head Coach, Kara Mupo leads the staff and team with an ideal balance of head and heart--not shying away from the green and gold bricks that were laid before her to establish and grow the D1 program. Legacy takes time, character, and grit, so it's awesome to hear of the enthusiasm and personal/professional work ethic of this 2024 coaching staff. They are here to make some noise and continue to elevate the program as a whole- on and off the field (players & humans). Assistant coaches, Nate Medic and Riley Ewing introduce themselves and share some of their coaching philosophies, responsibilities, goals, and personal experiences that led them to coaching. This is a great opportunity to get to meet the entire staff and hear/see more of their human side, especially for the parents and families of players that aren't local, that don't get as much face time (that was my family:). Competing at the top level of anything is such a privilege and life shaping experience that you carry with you in everything you do moving forward. It more than warms my heart to see such intentional, mission driven humans take the reins of the GMU Lacrosse program that is (and will always be) a fundamental piece of my personal foundation and continued influence on my own mission, vision, and values. GO PATRIOTS!    Highlights: Building a legacy. How you do something is how you do everything. Coaching. Life skills through sports. Chasing your calling. Leadership and responsibility. Breakdown and breakthrough. The whole human approach. Building on something great and seeing a vision before anyone else does.   Related Articles: 2024 Women's Lacrosse Roster  2023 Women's Lacrosse Schedule   George Mason Paving the Way for NCAA Lacrosse Load ...   Time Stamps: 2:00- Kara's intro 2:59- Nate's intro 4:14- Riley's intro 5:57- The human side of the asst. coaches 15:22- Favorite quotes from asst. coaches 18:21- Kara, why she recruited the coaches she did 20:00- Kara the human 24:36- Kara's injury, breakdown and breakthrough 27:37- Finding balance, the hard way 30:20- Mental Health at GMU 33:57- Leading by example 35:22- The team and social media 37:20- Managing the NIL 42:22- Why we are here 44:04- More social media, more alumni relations 45:41- Thoughts on Title 9 47:57- Kara's final thoughts, 3 things she want's Mason lax players to embody 50:11- Players must listen to the end of this podcast:) 51:06- What can the alumni do to further support the program?   Kara Mupo, Head Coach: Two-time NCAA champion Kara Mupo was named the fifth head coach in the history of the George Mason women's lacrosse program on May 26, 2020. Mupo's pedigree of excellence within the sport includes a stellar playing career as a collegian at Northwestern and as a professional with both the U.S. National Team and the Women's Professional Lacrosse League. In addition, Mupo has compiled a diverse and accomplished resume during five seasons as a collegiate assistant coach. Possessing a gifted offensive mind, Mupo helped guide Stony Brook to a No. 1 national ranking in 2018 and Stanford to an NCAA appearance in 2019. "We are thrilled to welcome Kara to our George Mason family," Edwards said. "She has achieved an elite level of success during every stint of her career while being mentored by some of the top voices in the sport. Kara is a tireless recruiter who possesses the innate ability to develop players. Her high energy style and engaging personality make her a natural leader, and I know our student-athletes will thrive under her direction." Mupo most recently served as offensive coordinator at Ohio State alongside former George Mason head coach Amy Bokker during the shortened 2020 campaign. Mupo's championship legacy began as an attack at Northwestern, where she won two national titles (2011, 2012) and led the Wildcats to four consecutive Final Four appearances. While helping to build one of the greatest dynasties in the history of the sport, Mupo scored 186 points (136g, 50a) over her career and served as team captain as a senior.  She began her coaching career as an assistant at William & Mary for two seasons, before moving on to an assistant role at Stony Brook in 2018, where she developed the most potent offense in the nation. Under her guidance, the Seawolves ascended to a No. 1 national ranking while leading the country in points per game (29.28), scoring margin (+10.80), assists per game (11.23) and shot percentage (.547). Mupo joined Bokker – the former Mason head coach – at Stanford in 2019. In Palo Alto, Mupo again orchestrated an outstanding offensive season while transforming the Cardinal into the Pac-12's top scoring unit. During the 2019 campaign, the Cardinal led the league in shot percentage (.431), assists (125), goals per game (13.89) and points per game (20.47), culminating in an NCAA Tournament appearance. Upon Bokker's naming as head coach at Ohio State, Mupo joined her in Columbus, where the Buckeyes had amassed wins over Cincinnati and Marquette, among others, before the season ended in March 2020. A former member of the U.S. Women's National Team, Mupo also is a decorated player in the Women's Professional Lacrosse League (WPLL) and has played for the New England Command over the past two seasons. She won the first WPLL Championship as a member of the Command and led the league in scoring for the second time in three seasons. In 2016, she was a member of the Philadelphia Force and earned all-star status after she led the league in goals. A native of Rocky Point, N.Y., Mupo earned a bachelor of science in human development and psychological services from Northwestern in 2014 and also earned her master's degree in sports administration at Northwestern in 2015.   Nate Medic, Asst. Coach: Medic joins the Patriots after spending years as the head coach of the Colonial Forge High School girls' lacrosse program in Stafford. Under his leadership, the Eagles finished runner-up in the 6A 2021 Virginia State tournament and were two-time Virginia State Regional Champions. The Butler, Pa. native, was named Region Coach-of-the-Year three times. In his five-year stint, the program compiled an impressive 60-12 record. Medic has been coaching club lacrosse in Virginia for the past five years, most recently with the Yellow Jackets Mid Atlantic in Lorton. Before that, Medic was the head coach for Fall Line Lacrosse Club in Stafford. Medic played lacrosse collegiately at Bethany College for one season before transferring to Slippery Rock and participating on the men's hockey team for three seasons. A 2015 graduate of Slippery Rock University, Medic earned a Bachelor of Science in Education. He began a teaching career as a Health and PE teacher at King George High School in 2016 before moving to the same position at Colonial Forge High School in 2018.   Riley Ewing, Asst. Coach: Ewing, a two-time graduate of The Ohio State University and five-year member of the women's lacrosse team, will join the Mason ranks after a year working in Chicago as an ACS Consultant. She also spent the summer months coaching a club lacrosse team out of Marietta, Ga., mentoring players and helping them through the recruiting process. During her time at Ohio State, Ewing was a three-year starter and a three-time Big Ten Academic Honor Roll honoree. An attacker who also specialized in the draw control, Ewing finished her career ranking seventh all-time in Buckeye history with 119 draw control wins to her name. She also sits at fifth all-time for draw controls in a single season with 71 in 2019, with a career-high 10 draw controls in a single game. Ewing was also named to the inaugural U.S. Women's Box Training Team in September 2023. The team will participate in three training camps in the Fall of 2023 as it continues preparation for the 2024 World Lacrosse Box Championships in Utica. N.Y. This is the first time that World Lacrosse has hosted a women's championship in box lacrosse.   https://gomason.com/sports/womens-lacrosse @MasonwLax   Connect with T&T: IG: @TurmericTequila Facebook: @TurmericAndTequila TikTok: @TurmericTequila Website: www.TurmericAndTequila.com   Host: Kristen Olson IG: @Madonnashero Website: www.KOAlliance.com #coaching #lacrosse #responsibility #head #heart #wholehuman #legacy #mentalhealth #community #team #womeninsports #athlete

Great cities are measured in several ways - for The Best Ceats this usually involves taking stock of the restaurants, bars, hotels, and other forms of hospitality and entertainment available for people to enjoy. One major piece of that puzzle, is professional sports franchises and their relationship with their host city, or area. To learn more about this, I am joined by Paul Speaker, the CEO of the San Diego Seals, and the Las Vegas Desert Dogs - both franchises within the National Lacrosse League. However - as fate would have it - it isn't just local professional teams we get to discuss, as Paul and his team are running the logistics for the upcoming 2023 World Lacrosse Men's Championship. One of the most exciting world tournaments in all of sports, the championship is a celebration of the sport, culture, history, and the growth of one of the most exciting spectacles in the world. We sit down to talk about the work that goes into an undertaking like this, working with the city, sponsors, and more. As someone who has played and coached lacrosse for more than 20 years, this is an intensely personal episode for me, and one that I was humbled to record. I hope you enjoy, but more importantly, I hope you purchase tickets and come witness for yourself just how exciting the game of lacrosse can be. The Best Ceats Podcast brings unprecedented access to the Orange County hospitality industry each and every episode. Bringing you the best stories, and the people behind them with every interview, The Best Ceats Podcast showcases the very best of Southern California's bars, restaurants, and beyond.You can find more information at https://thebestceats.comFollow Host Crawford McCarthy at https://www.instagram.com/thebestceats/To support content like The Best Ceats Podcast, as well as gain access to the exclusive bonus episodes, and more, please consider supporting The Best Ceats, at: https://patreon.com/thebestceats To learn more about Ali Coyle, as well as her debut track “Trust Me,” please see her official website: https://alicoylemusic.com To find out more about our sponsors for this episode, please visit the following:https://www.heirloompotager.com

Prior to joining USA Lacrosse, Marc was the Chief Commercial Officer for KlarisIP, a boutique intellectual property and media consultancy. He was charged with advising major sport and esports properties on strategy, growth, revenue generation, and organizational transformation.

Marc has a Juris Doctor from St. John's University School of Law, and an MBA and BA from Hofstra University.   Marc had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “The thing that really resonated with me was how Bill Parcells could lead and how he could connect with people” (6:20). “Distraction is the number one enemy of high performance” (7:15). “The first thing we've focused on [at USA Lacrosse] is simplifying our mission” (8:30). “Each of our business heads has to submit three things they're not going to do this year” (10:35). “How do we look at our fans and our players like customer acquisition planning in the private sector model? What does it cost to acquire a player? What does it cost to retain a player? And not just players from a community with resources, also players from a community without resources” (15:30). “Lacrosse was an access point that changed my life” (20:30). “Lacrosse changes people's lives… you hear that more from lacrosse players than I've heard it from any other sport” (21:20). “I'm very comfortable being uncomfortable” (21:45). “You need coaches of color to work with the kids of color” (23:00). “The more we talk about this lax-bro culture, the more we perpetuate it” (24:30). “One of the things we want to do is teach cultural competency to our players and coaches” (25:10). “The MBA was a competitive necessity, not a competitive advantage” (29:05). “I'm very competitive. I'm driven more by my hatred of losing than my joy of winning” (37:20). “What I've learned is to take the foot off the gas sometimes” (37:30). “It was about how do I put myself in a position to be competitively different than everybody else” (41:00). “Don't let the job change you” (46:30). “There are no throwaway comments as a leader” (47:30). “What you do sometimes matters more than what you say” (47:35). “Disagreement leads to better decision making” (48:30). “Think in years, not in months” (49:20). “If I don't know something, I'm not going to fake it” (49:55). “People remember stories more than they remember numbers and stats” (53:45). “We need to tell stories and we need to tell them often” (57:10). “For all of us, our greatest strength is our greatest weakness” (58:40). “Most people have a lot of value sitting on a shelf that they don't use” (1:11:00).   Additionally, you can follow Marc on Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn. I'd also encourage you to check out the USA Lacrosse and World Lacrosse websites. Thank you so much to Marc for coming on the podcast!

#jaylenbrown what a #dunk @celtics up 3-2 on @miamiheat who shot 7-45 from 3. #nbaplayoffs lot of crappy games.  #lgr tonight baby. @nyrangers can they finally beat the @canes who are 6-0 at home?  #noquitinny #stanleycupplayoffs always great. @coloradoavalanche blew 3-0 lead behind #nathanmckinnon hat trick for Avs but @stlouisblues win in OT. Can they come back from 3-2? Why not!  RIP #reggiewarford first Black player to play 4 years for @kentuckymbb #bbn Love the advice from former @mlb pitcher @corygearrin about having kids specialize in one sport.  Better to play multiple sports and develop overall athleticism.

Five teams competed at the first women's edition of the annual European Box Lacrosse Invitational. The event is commonly called EBox, so the women's version has taken the nickname SheBox. The tournament was the first opportunity for women in Europe to play box lacrosse, which will have a women's world championship for the first time in 2024. This week on LaxBeat, host Stephen Stamp has conversations with five participants in the inaugural SheBox, which was universally acclaimed as a huge success. Lizzie Bottrill is from England, where she has been part of the national development field lacrosse team, and was one of three English women to play for Prague Sports at SheBox.  Becky Moloney has been a goalie for Ireland's field team and is a driver of the sport in the nation. She played between the pipes for Team Eire, which was coached by Bellingham, Wash., native and Prague resident Garrett Goshorn at the tournament. Mac MacDonough and Delaney Benson both grew up in California and have both been living in Israel, where they put enormous time and energy into coaching lacrosse. They'll both be representing Israel at World Lacrosse championship this summer. The five guests have diverse backgrounds, but they all agree that SheBox was a huge first step for lacrosse in Europe and was a seminal moment in the growth of the women's box game.

Stan has served as the Executive Director of the OLA since 1986, after first launching his career inamateur sport in 1982 as the OLA Program Director, before being promoted to OLA Technical Director and eventually to the position of Executive Director – a position the held for 35 years.Stan began his legendary playing career when he picked up his first lacrosse stick at the age of 12. He would become an all-star box player for Oshawa. His playing style was an immediate threat to his opponent's goaltenders. As a Junior “A” player, Stan ranked 5th in All-Time Goals with 319 goals for the Gaels, and was named Most Valuable Player in Junior “A” in 1975 and 1976, as well as being named Major Series Lacrosse's Rookie of the Year in 1977.Stan's international career began in 1976 as a three-time member of Team Canada's field lacrosseprogram (1978, 1982 and 1990), leading Team Canada to a World Championship gold medal in 1978 by scoring six goals and tallying three assists, including the game-winner in the 17-16 overtime win against the United States. The 1978 World Lacrosse Championships were a watershed moment for the sport throughout Canada and a springboard to kickstart the growth of field lacrosse throughout Ontario. At the time, he was named “Player of the World”.Stan played collegiately for North Carolina State University in the United States, where he was a four-time All-American selection and still ranks among the all-time NCAA leaders in total Goals Scored (193), Points (280), Points Per Game (6.36), Goals Per Game (4.39) - a record that still stands 41 years later.Cockerton's accomplishments as a player have been recognized through his inductions into theOshawa Sports Hall of Fame (1990), Ontario Lacrosse Hall of Fame (1997, Inaugural Class),Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame (2003), USA Lacrosse Hall of Fame (2014), and North CarolinaState Hall of Fame (2016).As a builder Cockerton's passion for the sport saw him serve as Vice President of theInternational Lacrosse Federation (now World Lacrosse) from 2003-2010, and then as President from 2010-2017. Cockerton's contributions to the game internationally have helped shape the aspiration to return the sport of lacrosse to the Olympic Games. Stan was proud to witness the most historic moment for lacrosse: the official recognition of the sport by the International Olympic Committee on July 20th, 2021. He was honoured with the Lester B. Pearson Award in 2011 by Lacrosse Canada for his outstanding contributions to the sport, as well as the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018 by World Lacrosse for his international growth and development efforts.

On this weeks episode we discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly, that is the NCAA transfer portal. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2GLMYdkte5HNItpQhYEBWd?si=5ab7419d4ee444df What is the transfer portal? An ESPN article written last year had an excellent definition: Jeff Borzello, ESPNEssentially, it's a database of every player who has interest in transferring from his or her current school. In other words its like a stripped down dating app where players who are unhappy with their current situation can let the world know as much, and reopen their recruitment. There are several reasons as to why a player would enter the portal and we discuss a few of them on the show: Unhappy with coach, playing time, team dynamic School doesn't have the major you decide to persue You have remaining eligibility but want to finish by pursuing grad school somewhere else Family dynamics change and you wish to be closer to home The coach leaves and a new coach has a system that doesn't fit you We're not advocating that any of these reasons are right or wrong, but we do agree that there are times where transferring makes sense, and there are times when its better to stick it out. Last Week In our previous episode we took a deep dive into the impact of the National Lacrosse Leagues (NLL) tv deal with espn/tsn and what it means for the future of the league. We also discussed the new(ish) olympic sixes format from World Lacrosse and gave our honest opinions on what works and what doesnt. At the end of the day, we love the idea of making lacrosse more accessible and getting it into the Olympics, but we're not going to blindly accept Sixes in its current form. With a few tweaks, the game can be even better. Let's see what they come up with over the next few years, but it's a solid start. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lax-all-stars/message

This week on the OTCBPodcast we welcome back our old friends Steve Govett and Pat Gregoire. With the announcement of the IOC granting World Lax full recognition, it's another step towards us actually seeing Lacrosse Sixes played in the Olympics. Steve has been a part of the World Lacrosse advisory board as an independent director for the last couple of years, so he's got a lot of the answers to many of our questions. We're in but we're not officially in. As voice of the Halifax Thunderbirds, Pat Gregoire can't wait to get back inside The Nest on December 4th. He's also been busy with CoolBet Canada as we all hope to be able to lay some best on lacrosse in the near future. Plus we'll talk to him about the 2nd half of the PLL season and take a look at the upcoming OJALL bubble season. All that and more on this week's OTCBPodcast.

A day after the IOC granted full recognition to World Lacrosse in advance of the Olympic Games in Tokyo, CEO Jim Scherr joins IL's Terry Foy to discuss what it means for the sport, what the next steps are, how Sixes fits in and the Iroquois Nationals' path to being a part of a potential future Olympic Games.

World Lacrosse Sixes is the third discipline for the sport. It’s designed to appeal to a younger audience that values more action and a quicker pace to its sports. But a smaller field and fewer players also offers advantages. World Lacrosse CEO Jim Scherr joined Around the Rings managing editor Gerard Farek in the latest edition of ATRadio to give insight into the sport’s newest addition.

Jason Levesque is the current D1 Women's Head Coach at St.Bonaventure University. He has had multiple coaching stops in his career, including as an assistant for the Canadian Men's Field team. Talking Sixes Global Significance Sixes lacrosse has been in lacrosse news a lot this week, with the announcement of World Lacrosse's new discipline on Tuesday, the lacrosse industry was torn on how to react. Those of us with international ties understand how hard other countries are working to grow the game and how beneficial Sixes will be in that growth. As Jason said during our interview, the eyeballs an Olympic broadcast would provide creates a new wave of potential fans, players, and coaches. Building a Sixes Roster Full disclosure, neither of us know exactly what the roster limitations will be but we do understand that the rosters will be capped and much smaller than the world games roster of 23. With that being said, we dove a little deeper into what types of players we see being beneficial: traditional 2 way midfielders, guys who grew up playing more attack but transitioned to d-mid in college (happens a lot), BOX players. One unique situation we cant wait to watch play out is Blaze Riorden. Blaze is a world class field goalie and an exceptional forward in the NLL. This means that if you plan to carry 2 goalies, which you should, Blaze could be taking runs out of the cage adding important depth in this new fast paced style of lacrosse. The main point here is, teams will be made up of generalists, guys that can do a little bit of everything (guys like Jeremy Thompson, Zach Currier, Kyle Harrison). Becoming a Women's Coach With an impressive resume as men's coach (Canisius, Alma, Adams State, IMG, Team Canada) what led Jay to becoming a D1 women's head coach? A chance opportunity while working at the IMG academy led to Jay having an increased role helping the women's teams. Over time he grew a stronger and deeper appreciation for the women's game until a familiar friend and mentor (Randy Mearns) brought the vacancy at St.Bonaventure to his attention. It appears Levesque is all in on the women's game and hopes that others will learn to appreciate the game the same way he did.

Lacrosse player Erin Walters-Williams (she/ her) is originally from Long Island, New York, but now lives in the UK. A double European silver-medallist who has represented Wales at two World Cups, she's also heavily involved with the administration, growth and diversity of the game – as part of both European Lacrosse and World Lacrosse as well.

You can subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify or listen above. I'll also point out that Wasatch LC is starting a girls team this fall. Tryouts for both the boys and girls teams will be on August 15 & 22. More info can be found here.Lacrosse in Utah News/NotesA couple locals got national attention this week. At the Adrenaline Black Card event, Berkley Horoba (Alta) made the 2023/2024 all-star team while Bodi Sutherland (Corner Canyon) made the 2021/2022 all-star team. Trae Ika (Corner Canyon) and Blake Franckowiak (Corner Canyon) played for West Coast Starz at the Adrenaline Platinum Cup.

In other local action, Tribal West successfully hosted the Salt City Classic last weekend with several teams participating. The Ski Town Shootout begins this weekend.

Here's how things shook out:Whipsnakes 4-0, +24Chrome 3-1, + 5Archers 3-1, -2Redwoods 2-2, -3Waterdogs 1-3, -3Atlas 1-3, -10Chaos 0-4, -11The Whipsnakes are maybe the least talked about team but obviously the best. Their closest game was their first, a 13-9 win over Redwoods. They dismantled Archers yesterday in the second half en route to a 17-11 win. They didn't dominate last year en route to their championship, so what is the difference this year? There are a couple: 1) Zed Williams and 2) the bubble format. Zed Williams - Last year, Rambo led the team with 49 points while Mike Chanenchuk had 34, Ryan Drenner had 21 followed by Ben Reeves with 16. Basically, Rambo had to carry the team (which he did, winning the MVP). This year is different. In 12 games last season, Rambo averaged 4.08 points per game with the next highest being Chanenchuk with 2.83. While Rambo is averaging more points per game this year (5.25, including a 10 point game over the Archers) Williams is helping to carry the load with 4.25 points per game. John Haus in the midfield is also helping Chanenchuk who both have 10 points. Simply put, there is more point sharing with the Whipsnakes which makes them even scarier. The big question for the offseason is do you break up the Maryland pro team? What would be the justification? The Bubble - Also known as PLL Island, being isolated and playing a short schedule plays into hot teams. Lacrosse games are known to have scoring runs, but so do seasons. Over the course of a normal season where you are traveling all across the country, your team is bound to have better weeks than others. In the bubble, the hot team will reign and that hot team is the Whipsnakes. As good as the Archers are (and as good as we want them to be) they entered the final game with an OT win over Chrome, a two goal win over Waterdogs and a one goal win over Atlas. So the Whipsnakes enter the bubble with the MVP, the gold badge on their jersey and became the hottest team, including the hottest goalie (Bernlohr) and face-off specialist (Nardella). Dethroning the champs will be difficult. Grant Ament has been a standout (if you listened to the podcast with Adam Ghitleman, you would know this already) but this clip is awesome! US Lacrosse Magazine broke down the group play round. Play resumes on Tuesday with Chrome taking on Chaos (3:30 pm, NBC Sports Gold), Redwoods v. Waterdogs (6:00 pm, NBC Sports Gold) and Atlas v. Archers (8:30 pm, NBC Sports Network). These literally popped up when I was about to press send. Please watch. The PLL coverage has done wonders for the state of Utah and lacrosse. Some words of advise from Dom Starsia. There was also an update from World Lacrosse regarding the Iroquois playing in the 2020 World Games.That's it for this week. Don't forget to stay hydrated and wear a mask. It's working!— Tim Haslam This is a public episode.

The Boys are back in town. After taking a quick hiatus after the end of the NCAA DI season, the boys are back to preview the 2018 FIL World Lacrosse Championships. The fellas hit you with everything you need to know heading into the tournament in Israel including previews of Team USA, Team Canada, the Iroquois Nationals, as well as making a few dark horse picks on teams to make some noise at the Worlds.

For two weeks in July, tiny, beloved Israel will be transformed into the center of the universe—at least the lacrosse universe. That's because more than 48 nations, including Israel, are gearing up to participate in the quadrennial World Lacrosse Championships. The men's home team, led by captain Jake Silberlicht and head coach Bill Beroza, have a real shot at winning a medal in the competition, which will be held in the beachfront city of Netanya. We caught up with Jake and Bill just before the ball drops on lacrosse's premier event to talk lax, playing team sports in the heat, how Israel landed a world sporting event, and pitching a North American game to Israeli boys and girls.

Lacrosse legend, Casey Powell, shares his journey on and off the lacrosse field on The Brink of Midnight Podcast.  Casey Powell is one of the most accomplished lacrosse players in history. From winning NCAA (Syracuse University) and world championships (MLL, NLL), All Star and MVP titles, and being the face of the only major lacrosse video game on the market, he has truly done it all in the world of lacrosse. Like a lot of us, Casey was drawn to sport through imagination and backyard games. The first to have and hold a lacrosse stick in his small New York town, he developed an almost instant passion for lacrosse that underscores all that he does in the sport community today. Whether it's innovating through his new Speed Lacrosse, serving others through his World Lacrosse Foundation, or connecting one-on-one with youth players across the country, Casey's authenticity is undeniable and a unique mix of humility and style…the same mix he developed as a kid dodging clotheslines and apple trees, playing in the neighborhood.  Sports matter. From the lessons earned and community built around shared purpose, and this conversation will move you to think creatively about how to chase your passion while supporting your own community in profound ways.  For full show notes, visit: Contact: Connect: @brinkofmidnight (twitter, instagram, Facebook)
