Team LAXFU is Ready for the 2010 Lake Placid Summit Lacrosse Tournament

2 Aug

Team LAXFU is ready for another journey to Lake Placid, NY for the 21st annual Lake Placid Summit Lacrosse Tournament.   Competing in the Men’s D1 Master’s Division, the squad will have their work cut out for them.  On Friday at 8:30am  the team faces off against the Olde Quakers, and then a few hours later will take on the Syracuse powerhouse team, Burnt Orange.

Playing two games in one day is rough enough, but when one of those games is against the likes of Casey Powell, Ryan Powell, Roy Colsey, Pat McCabe, Ric Beardsley, Rob Kavovit, Chris Cercy, and Doug Jackson, you know it will be a long day.  (Check out the highlights from last year’s Master’s D1 finals when Rusty Red (Cornell alumni) took home the 2009 title over Burnt Orange.

UPDATE: Team Jagermeister has withdrawn from the tourney, so the schedules have changed.  It now appears that Team LAXFU will open against Team Harpoon/Native Staffing, and the winner of that will play Rusty Red (’09 Champs).

Team LAXFU’s 2009 goalie, Jason Gebhardt, has defected  back to his ‘Cuse brethren and will play with Burnt Orange this year.  Fortunately LAXFU still has All-American legend Mike Zoanetti (Rutgers), along with veteran net-minder Bobby Rust (Syracuse).

In addition to the goalie change, the team has also picked up many new faces from the Princeton Tigers, along with their predominantly West Genesee Wildcat-filled roster.

LAS: Growing The Game – Hochstadt and Ritz Talk LXM PRO

19 Nov

Jeff Brunelle over at Lacrosse All Stars sat down with the founders of the LXM Pro Tour for some insightful discussion on what this event is all about.  We’ve been reporting on LXM ever since we first heard the rumors back in July, but this piece is by far the most comprehensive take on it that we’ve seen so far.

We were admittedly apprehensive about this whole thing when we first head the buzz.  But the more we learn about it, the more it’s growing on us.  For the sake of the game and the future of the sport, we truly hope that that this does it justice. We don’t believe that it’s fair to say that LXM will dictate the future of lacrosse, but taking on the self-proclaimed mission of growing the game does carry some degree of responsibility with it.

Growing The Game: Hochstadt and Ritz Talk LXM PRO
An interview with the founders of LXM PRO.

What is the purpose of LXM PRO? What are the goals? Who’s behind it? Why should we care? These were the simple questions I was hoping to get answers to when I sat down to speak with LXM PRO founders Scott Hochstadt and  Xander Ritz on Sunday afternoon.

Ultimately I got those answers and much more. Chatting via Skype can be a battle in terms of getting to know the person on the other end, but they made an interviewer’s job easy. Hochstadt and Ritz were quick to get comfortable and openly share their vision for the event. Maybe that was because I told Hochstadt I attended a camp he coached at in Salt Lake City when I was in high school, but more on that later – Let’s get to the answers:

Top 20 Reasons to Skip LXM PRO

5 Nov

The crew at LXM Pro recently shared this with us…

lxm_pro_tour

You should skip the LXM PRO lacrosse / concert event on Nov 21 because…

  1. You want Rollerblading to take over Lacrosse’s spot as the fastest growing sport in the country.
  2. Mikey Powell (4x All-American, 4x Attackman of Year, 2x Player of Year, Syracuse’s All-Time Leader in Points) will come out of retirement & play in CA some other time.
  3. You don’t want the West Coast to be known as a national lacrosse powerhouse.
  4. $25 is too much for an STX Clinic, a college rivalry game, the return of pro lacrosse and a concert from one of the top artists in the world.
  5. Your lacrosse team has never lost a game and you won’t learn from watching others play.
  6. USC football has a bye that day and coach Carroll asked you help him scout UCLA.
  7. You’ve already been to one awesome blowout-concert + pro-lacrosse event, this month.
  8. Akon is too big for lacrosse – the only artist to have the #1 and #2 spots simultaneously in the Billboard Top 100…twice!
  9. There’s way too much buzz surrounding the event!
  10. You have nothing to learn from clinics by Kyle Harrison, Joe Walters and the rest of Team STX.
  11. You need to set your fantasy football lineup.
  12. Your coach doesn’t want you to get better in the off-season.
  13. You’re satisfied just listening to Akon on your iPod.
  14. Joe Walters (Maryland’s All-Time Leading Scorer) has already given you a shooting clinic.
  15. You won’t learn anything from watching great lacrosse players compete at the highest level…in person.
  16. You have no desire to be in an upcoming sports-film by Sports Studio, the people who brought you Miracle, Invincible, Friday Night Lights, and Remember the Titans.
  17. The four goalies playing at LXM don’t excite you (all former NCAA Goalie of the Year).
  18. Your lacrosse club doesn’t need the support of a fundraiser (groups@lxmpro.com).
  19. Your kids think you’re too old for a concert that doesn’t start with Jimmy and end with Buffett.
  20. …Because you don’t want to Buy Tickets Here!
