Lacrosse Legends

Mike was born into lacrosse; both of his parents were involved in the making of the hickory lacrosse stick, a piece of the game that embodies the traditional and spiritual values of the game, a tradition which was passed on to Mike at a very early age. From a playing standpoint, Mike played in the St. Regis, Cornwall Island & Cornwall Minor Lacrosse systems of eastern Ontario & western Quebec for many years and is considered by many to be one of the best face-off man and stick handler to come out of Akwesasne.Mike's greatest contributions to the game of lacrosse is quite possibly his quiet determination to promote the game of lacrosse as the Creator's Game and that it's a game of thanksgiving to the Creator for all He has provided to us. While Dr. William George Beers is considered the Father or founder of the modern game of lacrosse, Mike has been and continues to be a true champion of the game nationally and internationally - not just for the Mohawk people, but for all other First Nation people.In 1
