She was there at the start.

That’s about all that needs to be said about Kristen Kjellman Marshall, one of the members of the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame’s Class of 2024.

Like many Canadians, Brodie Merrill’s introduction to lacrosse as a young player was through the box game, playing in tight quarters with a short stick in his hand. His evolution to becoming one of the game’s best-ever long stick players was borne out of necessity back in 1999.

“I was trying out for Team Canada to play in the U19 World Games, and there were just not many long poles in Ontario, where I’m from,” he said. “I kind of saw it as an opportunity to potentially make the team. That’s how it got started.”

Four decades ago, as a senior on the lacrosse team at Unity College in Maine, Rick Roy made a promise to his coach.

“Never let me hear that someone asked you to teach them the game and you refused,” coach Wilson Hess instructed his graduating players. “If you do, I will haunt you.”
