The US Lacrosse U15 National Youth Festival, presented by Warrior, is coming to Golden Goal Lacrosse Park, June 20-22. We are thrilled to have 51 teams representing over 16 different states and Canada, and five hailing from the local Adirondack US Lacrosse Chapter. The Youth Festival remains a celebration of the sport focused on participation and sportsmanship with no champions crowned or all-stars chosen.
We are still looking for willing and capable volunteers to help make the event a success. Applicants must be above the age of 16, and roles may include Table Captains, Greeters or Field Crew – it’s up to you! This is a great opportunity for Juniors and Seniors in high school to complete community service hours.
Click here if you are interested in volunteering and click here for more information about the event. Thank you, in advance, for your support!

In helping to lead his team to this year’s National Championship, Mike concluded the season ranked third nationally in points per game (4.61), seventh in goals per game (2.72) and seventh in assists per contest (1.89). He led Syracuse in all three categories, scoring 49 goals, 34 assists and 83 points. His 49 goals tied Matt Riter for seventh on the school’s single-season list and his 83 points is tied for the 10th-best season total in SU history. Mike finished his career ninth all-time at Syracuse in goals scored with 132, 12th in career assists with 83 and 12th in career points with 215 (http://www.suathletics.com/index.asp).
Mike’s accomplishments on the field as a player and leader, as well as off the field, make him a great role-model for all of the Capital Region’s young lacrosse players.
