By Wayne Burke -January 26th, 2016- If you read this blog or search the internet for cool exercise tips to be a better lacrosse player, you can find allot of information (some useful and some useless). While there are an infinite amount of exercises and drills you could include, it can be hard for players, […]…
By Wayne Burke -December 29th, 2015- I love the holiday season. Lax players everywhere are posting on social media all their new heads, mesh kits and other gear they got for Christmas talking about how sick their stick is or how they can’t wait to get back playing.

By Sean Holmes -December 16th, 2015- Over the weekend I was in charge of performance testing for the Toronto Rock.

-February 6th, 2012- Those that know me will tell you I am not a fan of CrossFit. I have posted as much on Twitter and included some CrossFit videos of things I find utterly ridiculous previously.
