NLL Insider

Long time and highly respected lacrosse journalist, Tom Borrelli (pictured with Buffalo coach Darris Kilgour at 2007’s Hall of Fame ceremony), of The Buffalo News, is currently in critical condition after falling down a flight of stairs during a high school football game at Buffalo’s All High Stadium over the weekend.

The Buffalo News is reporting that Tom sustained head and neck injuries from the fall, although it is unknown what may have caused it. Their latest report has Tom still in the hands of the Erie County Medical Center and in critical condition.

Borrelli is considered to be one of the NLL’s most respected and reputable journalists covering the sport, showing a passion and love for the game dating as far back as the Buffalo Bandits first season in the league in 1992. Tom was also the league’s first member of the media to be inducted into the NLL’s Hall of Fame last year, while “The Tom Borrelli Award” is handed out every season to the league’s writer of the year.

NLL Insider would like to wish Tom all the best while he fights back from this past weekend’s accident and look forward to seeing him on his feet again and doing what he loves. All the best Tom.

NLL Insider will try and remain on top of Tom’s condition, but for up-to-date reports, please visit http://www.buffalonews.com/.
