At what age did you first start playing lacrosse, and what was the first lacrosse team you ever played on (and where, meaning, city and state)?
I started when I was three years old in the peanut division for my hometown box lacrosse program Akwesasne Storm.
What are you looking forward to the most in the first season of the PBLA, and why?
Playing and competing in Syracuse because it’s almost like a second home with occ being so close.
What would you say is the strongest part of your game?
My lacrosse IQ
What is the biggest adjustment going from field lacrosse to box lacrosse?
The physicality, smaller nets, and the stick skill.
Even though athletes always talk about “team first,” have you set any personal goals for this first season in the PBLA? If Yes, please share at least one.
None really, but I would like to help my team any way I can and be a good teammate.
On a scale of 1-10, with one being “not at all” and ten being “embarrassing, I shouldn’t even play,” how nervous will you be on the night of your team’s first game and why?
1 just because I’ve been playing my whole life and have that “it’s just another game” mentality
If you could have a song play every time you score a goal, which would you pick (title and artist)?
You Should Probably Leave-Chris Stapleton
If it’s up to you, what do you choose to eat as your pregame meal? (specifically, not just “something healthy”)
Chicken Ceasar salad
Who is your closest friend on your PBLA team? Is there a history there?
Zach Hopps and too much history to explain.
