Sure the amount of anti-inflammatories, icing, preventive taping, stretching, knee brace tweaks and other pre/post game routines are a necessity. And I don't expect anyone but another lacrosse player to understand this. I've finally conceded my wife never will! But, it pales in comparison to the on-floor excitement of making a tic-tac-toe passing play which ends in a goal or the chats with friends on other teams during face-offs or the antics off the floor! Crap! When I get really old, there better be a walker division because if I'm still breathing, I'm in! PS. I was a nice "no look, back spin shot" which the Gait brothers would have been proud of!

I had a great time this weekend, even after finding those "muscles I didnt know I had" ( that someone else pointed out to me was probably a drinking muscle and not related to lacrosse at all!!). I must say, the highlight was in the final game when one of our guys threw the game ball to the cheering section after a spectacular goal ! Fun ... WOW! Looking forward to the next tourney!
