Welcome to Old School LAX Freak.com
This site is dedicated to all of those former and current lacrosse players - young and old - who have a thirst for learning all that they can about the past 150 years of lacrosse history. The pages that will follow will include a brief history of the game's Native American origin and a recap of its evolution during the 1900's. You will find some neat content on both men's as well as women's lacrosse.

BRINE Edge ICE
March 17, 2012 Long Island, New York
The weather could not have been any better. Mostly sunny skies with temps in the mid 60's. Dozens of canopy tents were set up around the perimeter of the fields and represented the base camp of each participating team at the tournament. Parents and kids mingling and having a great time - the way life should be.
At least 10 lacrosse programs representing 2nd grade lacrosse throughout Long Island towns entered teams in the shootout. 6+ teams in the "B" division and 4 in the "A" division. Although there were only 4 teams that registered for the Second Grade "A" Division this past weekend - there were plenty of talented teams playing in some tight games. All 4 teams were chock full of talented 8 year olds. In the opening game of the tournament, Team Smithtown held off Harborfields by a score of 2 to 1. The game was filled with good passes, catches, and dodging. It was a long day for everyone and my guess would be that most of the 2nd graders would have fallen asleep on the way home. Although I have not seen the official results, I believe that West Islip was crowned the Champions for 2012 with a close second place by Team Smithtown.
I would love to hear from folks from around the country who have 2nd graders who play lacrosse.
Lacrosse Sticks Wanted
We are looking to purchase vintage lacrosse sticks that were made before 1980... so if you have a quantity of wooden sticks that you no longer need or if you have a vintage plastic head or perhaps a Quick Stick - Fiberglass lacrosse stick - we are interested in buying them. Please email us with what you have and include pictures if you have them.
Nostalgia
Nostalgia... what exactly is it? The term nostalgia describes a yearning for the past. However, when it comes to old school lacrosse players - it always comes back to the equipment that was used. I get a significant amount of emails of former players who tell me that they have not seen a BRINE D-80 since their high school days in the 1980's or that they have not seen a STX Barney since Jimmy Carter was in the White House.... now that's a long time. The smile widens with thoughts of bucket helmets and short shorts. I talk to youth lacrosse coaches about having a first generation plastic goalie stick by STX and I see their faces light up... Nostalgia is not just a word - its a force - its a natural high... it something that kicks the senses into over-drive and lifts the spirit - even just for a moment - but it is very powerful. Long Live Lacrosse !!!

THE LAX FREAK MONTHLY QUESTION
Should a Shot Clock be introduced in college lacrosse ? Some folks want to speed up the game - and force a little offense - just like in basketball and football. Should such a clock be introduced into college lacrosse?
