Joel Henry is a bull-riding man

August 30th, 2008 by Lauren Ward

From Athan Iannucci and Rob Van Beek’s motorcycle plans last season to Dan Ladouceur and the SWAT team, lacrosse players get up to some fascinating things when they’re not on the floor. But as far as the player with the most intriguing endeavor goes, ladies and gentlemen we have a new contender. For Victoria Shamrock Joel Henry this weekend, the Minto Cup. Next weekend, ~~the world~~ a pro rodeo in New Sarepta, Alberta. (Note: that’s not Henry in the picture.)

In other Shamrocks news, today in preparation for one of the biggest games of their lives the boys will be switching on a Vince Vaughn movie, since every time they watch one on a road trip they are successful. In case you’re wondering, Shamrocks head coach Danny Green says they didn’t get a chance to watch one before the 10-5 round robin loss to the Northmen last week that included six fights and 150 penalty minutes, which is surprising because that one looked like it had Fred Claus written all over it.
