“Making this National’s team is quite an accomplishment,” said GM Gewas Schindler. “From top to bottom, our athletes were competing at the highest level to make this team.”
The Haudenosaunee communities have continued to evolve with players with collegiate field lacrosse experience. In 1983, the first National team had a small handful of players who played college lacrosse. In 2014, the Haudenosaunee team is full of player with collegiate experience.
“Our field lacrosse experience is going to help us tremendously,” added Gewas. “Not only do we have a record number of players on our team who played collegiate field lacrosse (18), but most have played on Division I teams. We also have players who are playing at NLL (5) who are great all-around players as well. And I almost forgot that we have a pair of Dewataladon (Tewaaraton) Award winners.”
The Nationals will open their 2014 FIL championships in Denver on July 11th when they play Team England. Good luck to the players, coaches, and staff as they play our Creator’s game.
