Licht’s Thoughts
It’s been a long journey for me in lacrosse. From watching MILL games at the Spectrum in Philly to working hard emulating players like Tom Ryan and Randy Frazier. I spent a lot of time working on improving the skills to make it in the MLL and NLL traveling around Canada playing indoor.
I have learned so much from guys like Coach Richie Moran, Michael Kennedy, Brian Duncan and the Irish National Team coaching staff and trainer John Cavanagh. I have 30+ caps in international play.
I look forward to playing in the NALL and winning with the Kingfish. It will be good to finally play with (instead of against) Matt Smalley here in Rhode Island. 2013 looks to be an exciting time in the Bradford R. Boss Arena.
