Words can’t describe how this week has been. I want to start by saying thank you
@NickRose66
&
@TorontoRockLax
for one hell of a series, but most importantly supporting the great city of Buffalo by donating $2,500. Class act organization.
Saw a lacrosse unicorn tonight... witnessed an opposing Mom of a player storm onto the floor to break up a wrestling scrum her son was involved in. Top 3 favourite moment of my lax coaching career 😂 😂 😂 😂
The Northmen announce

As a team we usually say we’re wearing suits to the first exhibition game but the vets know just business casual to fool the rookies. You look very handsome

@cdelbianco35
is so nasty! Impressed with their composure through this whole mess
I get why they mic up the players but this has way too much of a WWE feel. Almost an orchestrated sequence to go viral when it probably makes most Lacrosse people scratch their heads. Maybe I just don’t like a fellow goalie getting chirped either though 🤷♂️

Just left the visitation for Brett Snell. The two hour wait in line was so telling of how incredible of a guy he was, he clearly had a great impact on so many people! My deepest condolences to his great family at this difficult time, he’ll never be forgotten!

@TorontoRockLax
Thought about my dad a lot yesterday for Father’s Day and while a Mann Cup is still the ultimate goal for my Summer lax career, I think this is the right time to take a shot at hoisting the Presidents Cup trophy like he did a few times in the 80’s…
Absolutely love more than anything that lacrosse is back going in Ontario, also absolutely do not love the photo Toronto Sun chose to use for this article
Told
@ChallenRogers
in our roommate group chat I’d finish a bottle of Pink Whitney if he scores left handed today and the guy almost scores lefty three minutes into the game. Safe for now, but not feeling too good about this situation with three quarters left in the game...

Fun fact: even though I’m gonna age myself pretty badly right now, I coached

in Peewee lacrosse. Connecting on this one was special for both of us. Fired up for the kid that has done nothing but work his tail off to get here
Thank you to all of

on all of the great support this season! While we fell short of the ultimate goal this year, we’re not going anywhere, this is a group that fans can believe in and be proud of, I know that I am. 👀 on 2020 already! Love you boys

So proud of this group of men for the character and resiliency they’ve shown all season long. The 2019 version of the

Seen a lot of comments about the

refs “Taking their ball & going home”. Hearing
@BramptonJrA
threatened the same thing, to fly home early if Jeff isn’t allowed to play. Who knows what is fact or fiction at this point but

needs to give answers ASAP!
Ran into a

No one can tell me that there is anyone more deserving to win a Mann Cup than

Incredible job by

staff to pull off what they did for this shortened season, it was an absolute pleasure for
@TRACAthletics
to host amazing lacrosse and getting the boys back on the turf this Summer. Loved seeing so many smiles the last three weekends!
How can anyone expect
@CanadaLacrosse
to just sit down and take that BS? From the offsides call to the US having 3 shots in 4 seconds with time just randomly getting added.
@USLacrosse
are a world champion caliber team, but not like this!
Sad to hear about the passing of Canadian Sports Writer, Neil Stevens. He was a devoted lacrosse fan and always tried his best to keep the

Apparently the sarcasm got lost in this tweet and I need to clarify that I was joking. Was just a friendly Canadian joke we always make when someone wears

This guy never ceases to amaze me. Been rehabbing all Winter, working his tail off to get back for the boys. Doesn’t miss a game and puts up a four-spot in the season opener 😲.

Also give credit to the kid for sticking with it after being thrown to the wolves his first few years. Had no chance to properly step into a starting role but kept finding a way. Much respect to

for not giving up
#GoalieUnion
A lot of people commenting on the maturation of Eric Penney. Give a lot of credit to
@nllwarriors
goalie coach Dwight Maetche for working closely with him this season. Also this is a 25 year old tender, in his 5th

season. Not a lot of apprenticeship stories like that.
