“This event was played in honor of my former teammate Graham Harden who is battling ALS.  I’m extremely proud of all the 212 kids. As always, a big thank you to the entire 212 Lacrosse community. The support the parents show myself and our staff is tremendous. I’d also like to thank Lauren Schmidt (Stanford/Team USA), Laurel Vanthof (Adrian College), Christian Pompoco and Thomas Sarjeant (Westminster)  for an excellent weekend of coaching and the Sandstorm staff for organizing another fun event for the kids.”
