Lacrosse Idol

[swordsman]

In a MP thread it was said MP's a lot of laxer's hero. Like GG but properly commercialized to be loved by the mases. So here's a thread to tell us yours.

Mine are options 1-3,and 8-10.

[GBaschski]

I said other...Matt Schomburg (Team Australia). That man is insane at the faceoff X.
Jay Jalbert is another one of my heroes.

[Goldenbearslax6]

ADD Brett hughes,

[monmlax]

Ryan Boyle- just look at what happened to Princeton after he left. He is the best player on the field and he is still the hardest working

[shamrock22]

The O'Hara brothers they went too SU before the gaits.....search for them


yes my name is O'Hara

[lacrossedude987]

Ryan boyle one of mine.......

[BioPro29]

Mark millon, ryan powell, Jesse Hubbard

[Mad-Max]

I'd have to say Brodie Merrill, plus he's a great guy in person

[goalieskcickay]

Matt Russel... similar style of play, (I wish!) just amazing goalie, good guy.

[nemesis562]

although i respect so many goalies and they are all who i look up to , i like aaron fenton from duke. he was a 5th year senior and didnt play until his senior year( a tiny bit junior year) he worked really hard and got the starting spot and did really good. definetly someone i look up to.

[AHA lax5]

I agree w/ a couple of u guys...Ryan Boyle, my lacrosse idol.

[exile lacrosse]

who was it that said "don't dream of others, work hard so others dream of being you"?

that being said im going hypocrite here and saying petro

[stinisonfire]

I agree w/ sickay, Matt Russell is amazing.

Anyone who could play a quarter w/ a broken collarbone and have to pop his shoulder back into place 3x..at goalie is worthy of anyone's admiration.

Trevor Tierney is the other goalie I strive to play like. It's hard not to like the #1 goalie in the world, though Cattrano is pretty sick too.

[marflax33]

I agree w/ a couple of u guys...Ryan Boyle, my lacrosse idol.
hes not really my idol but i like him better than all the other players.

[nemesis562]

Trevor Tierney is the other goalie I strive to play like. It's hard not to like the #1 goalie in the world, though Cattrano is pretty sick too.


that is an opinion. in MY opinion tierney is definetly not the #1 goalie in the world.

[laxdaddy]

Mark Steenhuis... buffalo bandits

[wilsontopowell]

wow i have alot but i guess i have 2 really main idols mikey.p and kyle harrison. im not a mikey poser at all infact i hate those kids who r like that but just the way he plays and how everybody else on the field is bigger than him yet he still finds a way to dominate. harrison for bein just dominant and the fact that he is black like me. i think the first black person to win the tewarraton so thats a big inspiration for me

[laxstargt]

My idols are Gary Gait and Mark Millon

[Portlax]

My idols are Gary Gait and Mark Millon


Mikey powell

[Hooligan]

Tom Phair. A completely dirty player, with one heck of a scrappy attitude. I doubt anyone knows who he is, but if you search some NLL history, you'll find out he was a Philadelphia Wings defenseman, and helped them win the 2001 championship. He's also part of the only father/son championship combination (his father won the NLL championship in 1974, and Tom won in 2001).

[Vikinglax81]

mike powell. he is one of the reasons that i got into lacrosse as much as i have. the frst college game i saw was the syracuse navy national championship game, and it shows some of his pther highlights in that game

[LowRida]

Jay Pfieffer, watching him play for Syracuse is what got me to play goalie.

[PhilWings24]

brodie merril is definitely mine. so much so that i even know how to spell his name(lol...i think its merril but i'm not sure).

i've only been able to catch a couple games of his, but in each of them he has been absolutely insane.

[regulate34]

i have got to go with gary gait because wat he has done for the gam over the years and well i got into lacrosse because i saw his pictre ion the paper ans io looked him up on the net and he is just great
and paul too
plus their BC boys

[Attack027]

Ryan Boyle- just look at what happened to Princeton after he left. He is the best player on the field and he is still the hardest working

I have to agree on that one

[LymanLax28]

Mark Millon.

[GarysGod]

who? Buggs Combs

[LL71]

JR all the way!

[stinisonfire]

that is an opinion. in MY opinion tierney is definetly not the #1 goalie in the world.

my bad, he just helped win the MLL Championship and was named the All-World Goalie @ the ILF in '02.

[spenny]

dave petramala, player of the year, coach of the year

only person to ever do that.
not to mention that he is arguably the best defenseman to ever play the dame

[Lax101]

my bad, he just helped win the MLL Championship and was named the All-World Goalie @ the ILF in '02.
Yeah but it was their offense that won it, plus an extremely underrated defense. Any goalie could have been in net for this team.

Tierney is extremely shakey and lacks the polish of a Greg Cattrano, Bill Daye, Sal Locasio, or even Brian Dougherty.

[LaXBoB22]

conor gill,ryan boyle, and mikey powell

[titans 43]

john grant jr. the guy is the do not curse! why is this so hard to understand... he's just amazing.

[ATLredgoalie55]

Trevor Tierney, I think he's better than cattrano

[laxer26]

Tierney is not a great goalie. good, but not great. He looked really good in college because they play a system that does not rely on the goalie to make saves. you can like him as much as you want, but you just cannot compare him to cattrano, sal, doc. billy daye, of the recent goalies.

[ex-lax]

ryan boyle and zach greer

so the all-world title and recent MLL championship are based off this same 'don't need a goalie' style? I think not.

[laxer26]

so the all-world title and recent MLL championship are based off this same 'don't need a goalie' style? I think not.

thanks for the intentional misreading. but all world title usually goes to the team that wins... and there are probably several HS AA goalies every year who could get the all world goalie, because Canadian goalies tend to not be as good, due to box, and because the rest of the world is not there yet. in regards to the MLL championship, they had one of the best attack lines in the country, as well as a very underated defence. Add that to a solid midfield, you cannot lay credit on his shoulders. he was only 4th in the MLL in save percentage, while on the best team. I forgot a goalie as well. Garitty is better as well.

[laxmann1993]

Connor Gill all the way baby.

[Rok629]

The Radebaugh lacrosse clan.Too many to name but most all of them made a major impact on their teams from HS,College to Pros.

[CougarLax07]

im definately gonna have to go with mikey powell and ryan boyle. they both are nuts

[b-boy_laxman]

wheres mp. oh well since hes not there mark million

[laxpro]

tim goettlemann!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:

[Warrior]

I said other and went for marichek-if he was on any other team he would be seen as a better player in some peoples eyes..i just like his style i guess...

[HdGLaxWarrior]

Brodie Merril, Gary Gait, Mark Millon, & Cat.

[devillax57]

Ryan Boyle is my favorite. Played for my favorite team, and has the same first name

[powellman21]

Tilman johnson, hes amazing!

[stegmakk]

Sal Locasio...good goalie in both box and field (hard thing to do...excel at both)...and a good guy...

[sillygoosemtc]

Henry Craver best midie i have ever seen

[UElax16]
