I'm a tall middie 6'3'' 180. As long as your stick skills are great dont give up middie man. Theres always a need for tall guys to shoot over the other short kids there.

Look at Kevin Cassesse, that guy is massive.
I'm about 6 feet, and I'm not even a freshman yet...I play mid although I may be switching to D, though not because of my size. Our best defenseman this past season was a short kid, but he was quick and strong.
If you're a big middie, as long as you have the skills and endurance, use your size to your advantage.

we had a middie on our team, but he had played pole in high school. he was probably one of two of the best defensive middies on our team. so i dunno, he was still defensive minded. hes 6'3". so am i but im a goalie. theres all sorts of debates about our heights.

Don't mean to change the topic...but on the subject of tall goalies, how's that feel? It seems like it would be a little awkward in a 6ft tall goal?

Well if you play better defense than offense, you might want to consider switching to D. It's a lot of fun ;)

perfect example. One of the middies on loyolas team, is 6'3'' about 250. He tears it up. Brady can lay down hits, take the face and score. Dont give up middie man

Our goalie is a 6'4, 315lbs line backer. He averages 20 saves a game

I'm a 6'2'' 215 lb defender but we have a 6'6'' 250 lb defender as well. But anyways, since we're talking about middies, we also have a 6'4'' middie. I'm not sure what he weighs, but he's extremely skinny. I'd say about 170-180.
