he will be good but i don't think he will be as good as he was when he retired. I mostly think it is a marketing ploy so they dont lose fans because grant is done for the season maybe longer.

Does anyone else think that Gary took it personal when Tavares broke his records? I've seen Master's players with 20 year-old beer guts play a full game without stopping so I'm sure Gait won't miss a beat.

We'll see.
We hear that Rochester will potentially give up a warm body and two high picks. That's a lot for a guy like Gait that has maybe two seasons left in him. But hey, they're desperate for lefthanded scoring.

If he does play it will be awesome to see him on the field again.

“The interest was sparked because the Knighthawks had an interest. I told my kids and they got really excited and told me I had to play and I don’t like turning down my kids,” said Gary, who is the father of two children: Taylor and Braedon. “As an athlete I am looking forward to competing again at the highest level." - Gary Gait
looks to me like a for sure thing. He is now close to his job at Syracuse and looks like it could work.

Guys, we're talking about Gary Gait here. Best lacrosse player..ever. Period. I know people will say "But he's older" or "But he hasn't played in years ". How many guys on this site don't play anymore, but are still in good enough shape to jump in to a league if the opportunity arose. With Gary's ability alone I would give him 60pts this coming season, but all reports are saying he's in shape and roaring to go. I cant wait to see him back on the floor. MVP/Combacker of the year?

On another note, think there is any chance they could lure Paul out as well?

I always thought Gary was better than Paul, and certainly had better health in the few years up to retirement. Even so, don't hold your hopes too high - Gary's been out for several years and looks a wee bit heavy in the latest picture!

can you imagine Gait and Jr together ? If Rochester has given up the next two years first rounder maybe that means Gait will play for a year or two . If he only plays offence he just might last a couple of years. Scary thoughts for defensive coaches..Gait and Jr on the floor at the same time

I was told that Six Nations is buying the Nighthawks and moving them to Hamilton. Gary was offered a bunch of money to come out and play.
Not sure of the validity but....
