Marechek headed to Hall of Fame

Props are due to Philadelphia Wings legend Tom Marechek, who this weekends heads a fine list of inductees into the US Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

Marechek, a four-time All-American and two-time NCAA champ at Syracuse University, played 12 seasons with the Wings in Philly and was named to the All-Pro team eight times. The B.C. native won four league titles with the Wings and he retired as the league’s No. 3 all-time scorer. The Wings gave him his due by making his jersey the first to be retired in team history and Marachek will join seven other inductees at ceremonies this Saturday in Hunt Valley, Md. You know that reading this will stir up some memories, so head on over to the message board join the others who already are talkin’ up the greatness of Hollywood. Indoors, outdoors, he did it all and it’s nice to see him get the recognition he deserves.
