Lacrosse fans, rejoice! If you’ve been patiently waiting to see your favorite NLL players back in action, you don’t have to wait any longer. A number of the best players from our league will be suiting up to represent their countries at the World Lacrosse Box Championships beginning Friday, September 20th in Utica, NY, and running until the 29th.
Firewolves defenders Joe Nardella and John Wagner will play for Team USA. Goalie Doug Jamieson and forward Travis Longboat will play for Team Haudenosaunee.
There will also be some former Great Danes playing. Jamieson and Longboat will be joined by Lyle Thompson and Tehoka Nanticoke on Team Haudenosaunee. Former UAlbany goalie Blaze Riorden will play for Team USA.
Beyond the results on the field, this is an opportunity to continue to grow the sport of box lacrosse. “That’s the goal, right? To build this and build the game as much as you can,” said Clark. “This Championship and this opportunity for people to see these games, you have, the NLL has the best players in the world and now it’s just kind of amplified when you’ve got Canada, Haudenosaunee and the U.S. playing in particular, because those rosters are just jam packed with NLL players.”
