Who is your attack idol?

[RattlersVenom3]

Hey all you attack men out there, who is your idol. Id say a few of mine are Ryan Powell, Mike Powell, Josh Coffman, Casey Powell, and Liam Banks.

[Stopper22]

Ryan Powell defanitly

[powellfan1]

Casey Powell, he's really nice, and I try to follow his examples.

[JR22BChAtArD]

my teammate named branch....we play on team indiana together and we just feed off of each other...hes from Syracuse. but moved to indiana

that would definently have to be mike powell. i love his ankle breakers, and how he never slows down his tempo. i especially love how he hates stalling, beucase in women's lacrosse when the other team uses the stall play on you, its the ****tiest thing in the world.

[Stopper22]

staling stinks period :clap

[RattlersVenom3]

^^^^yup

[lax n brew]

college- Christmas

MLL- Casey Powell

NLL- Tom Marechek (BY FAR!!!)

[dougm]

nll - best forward for over a decade has been john tavares. he gets the goals, the assists, the ground balls and is as tough as they come. to this day he pulled off the greatest shot i've seen where he should had snapped his wrists when he whipped one passed dallas eliuk to the far side between dallas's shoulder & the goal -- we're talking an area no greater than the surface area of the ball -- despite being almost parallel to the goal! it was broadcasted on comcast back in either 1999 or 2000. if you saw the game on tv, you'll know which one i'm talking about. i support the wings but in a decade long observation, the forward i have to give the most respect to is jt.

[powellfan1]

That sounds like a regular goal.

[dougm]

its hard to explain -- there was no arm movement, he just rotated his wrists. the release and accuracy on the shot was unreal. besides, jt has done enough in his career to earn my respect as the best forward i've seen -- including gary gait.

btw -- some of the earlier posters on this thread should understand that lacrosse didn't start & stop @ the carrier dome. for all that orange talent you mention, the princeton tigers held them in check for most of the '90's. and i believe coffman was a middie.

[RattlersVenom3]

coffman played middie in college, he plays attack for the rattlers

[powellfan1]

Coffman was attack in college.

[SUlax22]

No he played middie ask any big su fan(me)

[RattlersVenom3]

He was a midfielder for almost his entire college career and earned All American status as midfielder, but his senoir year he played primarily attack and actually was an all american attackman too.

[powellfan1]

I only saw him in Senior year.

[RattlersVenom3]

Oh ok sorry about that, we were both right, i saw him his hole career at SU

[powellfan1]

No problem.

[SweetLaxattack]

I would say casey powell is my favroite player just because everythign he has doen for the sport and he is really cool and nice. But my favorite player to watch is mike powell he can take over a game better then any one in the game and his shows stopping plays a great for the game

[RattlersVenom3]

Need you say more

[Rix]

Colin Doyle, hes the best box player in the NLL for sure

[dougm]

colin doyle is a very interesting choice. a great rookie season when toronto was in hamilton but followed 2 years of less than stellar attack and seemed to becoming a problem child on the floor. but in the last two seasons, colin has barely even got penalty and has been mr. offense for a rock team that has lost guys like gill, stroup & heard. that is a very good choice and was my vote for mvp on the nll board,

[Rix]

Doyle Rocks !

[RattlersVenom3]

Doyle is freakin awesome

[attack313]

Mike Springer...he was the coach of our team at NO LIMIT...best shot in the game

[RattlersVenom3]

I watched him his entire career, and you are sooo right , man can he unload a wicked shot. Love him too. He is doing pretty well in the MLL too, a couple rel nice 2 pointers

[attack313]

hes so nice too...man i wish i can shoot like that when i'm older

[WarriorLax22]

1. Mike Powell - The player to single-handedly hand Hopkins their only regular season loss. Three-time first team All-American already. Tewaaraton winner. Need I say more?
2. Ryan Boyle - Definition of feeder. Great vision of the field. Excellent groundballs. Only real attackman who can be compared to Powell. (I think the only things Powell has over Boyle is his ball handling and speed.) Ivy League Rookie of the Year (Freshman) and Player of the Year (Sophomore). Only one to do that was Jesse Hubbard. First team All-American this year. Single-handedly picked Hofstra apart this past spring.

[RattlersVenom3]

True true

[laxinsmith]

Mark Million :agree

[Paul_Gait_RULZ]

I am a big fan of the Gait Bros. especially Paul! John Grant JR is probably the best i've seen play right now. I like the Powell's, but i think all the others after Casey are overrated! Marechek is also a ****ing god with the stick, . Also Colin Doyle is good at attack, but they all play box in the summer, none of 'em are in the MLL, they picked their country over the MLL for the World Indoor Championship.

[Paul_Gait_RULZ]

OOOOPS I forgot a young addition to, even though he plays more middie,

Garret Kikot was awesome in juniors when he played with us, he's at Hartford now! Check out his stats, he's a good ol' canadian boy!

i was waiting for somebody to say mark millon

in my opinion, millon is the best and he could take any young guns like the powells, or the christmases. Millon also has one of the best attitudes you can find in a lax player.

[laxbabe2121]

million's one of those hero's that every young lacrosse plyr should look up to him. i remember when i was younger, and the only male lacrosse plyr i knew was mark million, beucase my neighbor gave me a poster of him.

[GT lax 14]

Dave Marr from Hopkins in the early 90's he was my teacher and thee guy who got me into (and good) at lacrosse

[OCLAX14]

Conor Gill is my fav this year along with Jesse Hubbard

[Aussie_kid]

Me Mike Powell causde my coach thinks i play like him and he wants me to watch vidoes of him playing and also he is a good player

[livin4lax09]

can you tell by my icon and number? as i quote from a reply on lax.com

"Mark Millon has more talent in his left testicle than 99% of the guys that walk on the field"

[hankooklax]

JEsse hubbard is def good

[Warrior Lax 9]

College- Definitely Christmas
MLL- I'd have to say Mark Millon or Casey Powell

[NeMeSiS]

hubbard hubbard hubbard and christmas

[GIattack]

THE POWELLS

[GIattack]

i totally agree. millon is about as good as they get. i like your icon too.

[GRIFFIN15]

I love watching The Powell family in all their glory....WOW

but as a player i was first inspired to play like was former Princeton star Sean Hortofilis, The Lafty Sniper.

[crazylax42]

millon! Marechek! they should like make a clone from both of them and he would play and be the best ever
yay

[GreenBayLaXr]

Millon... He was my favorite.. but is Jay Jalbert was an attackman... He has all the qualities plus hes a rough dirty player who can play defense and get ground balls.. hes the all around player... and hes my Idol.. Sorry Millon you've been beaten in my book :(

[CuseLax18]

Me.

[Denis_callahan]

i have a new one that i dont think anyone said. Brian Nee. he is my favorite player. hes quick and strong and has one of the best jump shots i have ever seen. he is big time t oo he was hugh throughout the whole tourny for the orange netting 5 againts the bluejays w. an assist. i think hes an all around good guy too unlike cough mikey p. cough but hey thats just me

[WULaxer7]

Conor Ford when he plays attack....I play a lot like him so hes one of my favorites. Other than that I fould have to go with John Grant Jr., I also liked watching Ryan Boyle this year.

[hseXlax]

ryan powell

[kryptic]

Mark Millon.

[CuseLax18]

definitly Gary Gait, or Mark Millon

[laxdefense12]

Mine would have to be Mike Powell

[JMokan]

Ryan Boyle, definately.

[smitt5168]

mark millon. one of the best passers i've seen play lacrosse in a while.

[Ghs_Lax25]

Mark million is the person i look up to the most. The powell brothers becasue all three of them are amazing at different aspects of the game.

[broslax16]

some of my attack idols are ryan boyle, mark millon, conor gill, and michael watson

[Orangeman80]

Mike Powell is awesome!

OMG!!!
dave marr was my ss teacher last year!!!!... great guy.. went to his camp too.. he's really good and i look up to him..

[WHSlax42]

My attack Idols are Mark Millon, Conor Gill, Ryan Boyle and Ryan Powell. I think millon is the best attackman in the world right now.

[KayGshark46]

Mike Powell is by far

[advantage10]

most of you probley don't know him from college but Tim Gettolman mianly becasue when he played for loyola he was just big tough and full of talent. he was the definition of raw strength. he was tall and took any check and never let anything stop him from getting where he wanted to go

[pumba]

million

[titanlaxman]

Conor Gill is my fav this year along with Jesse Hubbard


ive been waiting to hear conor gill. i think there are definitely a ton of great attackmen but i just love Conor Gill's style. i mean come who else does super man shots like he does????

[tokiolax]

i would have to say, ryan boyle+doneger, mark millon, mike powell, and marecheck. but out of all of them ryan boyle and millon would have to be my favorites, mainly because of theyre vision. and also boyle is a SJstealth now. haha

[spark_goalie]

connor gill cause he shot on me at camp oo

[FOGO 9]

RYAN OTTERBLAD IS MY IDOL

[laxlover35]

Mark Millon, Conor Gill, and Ryan Boyle. My all time favorite is Millon though, he's small like me, and he's fast as hell.

[WHSlax42]

Mark Millon, Ryan Boyle, and Conor Gill

[tokiolax]

oh man, totally forgot about..john christmas..hes awsome

[NJSLaxxer]

"Mark Millon has more talent in his left testicle than 99% of the guys that walk on the field"

Haha nice quote.. im sure he'd laugh at that one. Yeah my favorites are Mike Powell, Ryan Boyle, and Mark Millon. I'd like to talk to Mike and Mark.. Ive talked to Ryan.. hes cool as hell.

[BioPro29]

[lax4life6]
