Jesse Hubbard dishes on stringing your wand

By Lacrosse Playground | December 3, 2009 |
Jesse Hubbard is one of the most decorated players in all of lacrosse. He won three NCAA Championships with Princeton, was a three-time All-American in college, was a five-time MLL All-Star and won a World Lacrosse Championship with Team USA.

While the video features hockey athletes, the shoe was designed with the training of the both the hockey and lacrosse athlete in mind, with Warrior building the shoe with support for the use of the shoe for training and plyometrics and indoor play or cutting drills. By the way, the first shoe you see in the video is the Breaker shoe and the second pair (the white pair with the large gold “W” on the side of the shoe), is the Shooter shoe.
