NLL Insider

Everyone who’s anyone in the world of lacrosse knows the answer to that question, but it doesn’t hurt to revisit the question now and then. That’s what ESPN The Magazine did in its story, “The Jordan … of lacrosse.”

Mann Cups, NLL titles, MLL titles, NCAA titles, MILL titles … it’s a veritable alphabet soup of titles for the man who gave us Air Gait during his days at Syracuse.

“I didn’t play hockey because my parents didn’t want to get up early,” Gait tells the magazine. “The great thing about lacrosse is that if you can master the stick, you don’t have to be as physically dominating. But I lucked out. I was also a good size and I could run pretty well.”

True that. In the debates of lacrosse greats, it’s never long before Gary’s name enters the conversation and even though dude’s 40 years old, he’s far from finished. After his brief NLL coaching sting in Colorado, Gait is back in Central New York, coaching the SU women’s team to a 9-2 record and a No. 5 national ranking heading into this weekend’s contest with No. 6 Georgetown.
