“Any Championship lacrosse team starts on the defensive end with a solid goaltender. Nick brings all the qualities I was looking for to build our team around. First and foremost, Nick is a solid stopper and will make the saves needed when called upon, he also possesses great mental toughness and leadership skills that lead to a feeling of confidence by his teammates. Nick will prove to be a difference maker this season for our team.†said Rascals Head Coach Randy Fraser.
“I am really excited to be playing competitive lacrosse again and am looking forward to playing with some of the guys I met at the end of last year†stated Schroeder. “These guys had a ton of talent and picked up a lot of indoor skills and systems very quickly. It will be exciting to see how fast these players progress and hopefully I can help a little as I guess I’ll be the ‘Old Vet’ this time around.â€
