By most accounts, Paul Rabil is one of the most decorated and accomplished players in modern lacrosse history. He has won multiple collegiate, professional and world championships and in the process, garnered so many individual awards that it’s easy to lose track.

Deservedly, he is being inducted into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame on January 11 as a truly great player.

John Grant, Jr. is one of the greatest professional lacrosse players of all time, with a career that spanned 17 indoor seasons in the National Lacrosse League and another 17 outdoor seasons in Major League Lacrosse.

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.”
