I think this is a good read. It is not about the Bandits, but still a nice article the growth of Lacrosse. Nice to see Lax get some positive press and show what this sport is all about off the field instead of the normal article about how they all work jobs during the week.
At age 37, Colorado Mammoth star Gary Gait has done what is generally believed impossible by middle-aged men with graying hair and creaky bones.
He is a bona fide cult hero among kids plugged into Blink 182 on the iPod.
Gait has changed the landscape of sports in Colorado, at least on the cul-de-sacs in my neighborhood.
A lacrosse ball is hard. How would I know? Driving through a game of street lacrosse recently left a dent in my car. It's a neighborhood sports hazard that did not exist until the Mammoth hit town three years ago.
The most fearsome athlete in the history of professional lacrosse is now causing knees to shake among nervous local baseball and soccer coaches, who are losing talented prospects who have fallen hard for Gait's game.
