"HAVING PLAYED IN BOTH THE MLL & NLL, I UNDERSTAND THE VAST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FIELD AND BOX LACROSSE. WE WANTED TO CREATE AN OPPORTUNITY WHERE PLAYERS FROM CANADA AND NEW YORK COULD COME TOGETHER AND EXPERIENCE TRUE BOX LACROSSE. WE WANTED COACHES THAT CONSIDERED THEMSELVES BOX LACROSSE COACHES THAT HAD A TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS AS BOX PLAYERS AND COACHES. WE ARE THANKFUL TO HAVE COACHES THAT HAVE HAD A LONG HISTORY OF COACHING BOX LACROSSE LEADING OUR BOYS, TEACHING THE FUNDAMENTALS, SKILLS AND NUANCES OF BOX LACROSSE."
