Syracuse Lacrosse Aesthetics and Hot Wings

By Lacrosse Playground | October 29, 2009 |
Professor of History at Marist, Dr. Frederick Douglass Opie, is a scholar and educator. Many of his students probably wouldn't know he was a big time player in his day at Syracuse or that he is a published author of a history book about food with some recipes. Dr. Opie recently launched a blog for just that; to share what he is passionate about. In his latest post Dr. Opie reminisces about how he and his teammates would dye heads over wings at the local restaurant, Acropolis. His memory is uncanny and the topics could not be more relevant in this given day.
Rit Fabric dye
"Organized white lacrosse head dying sessions, using Rit fabric dye, and downing dozens of hot Buffalo style chicken wings in the process represented an important part of SU lacrosse culture in the 1980s. There was definitely an unspoken competition over both who could eat the most wings and who could come up with the most aesthetic multi-colored design with your name, number, and Syracuse somehow all fit on a small surface."

Silverfin Likes To Keep It Simple

By Lacrosse Playground | October 21, 2009 |
Founded by Patrick Smith and Brad Conners and located in Southern California, Silverfin, which focuses on lacrosse training and equipment, has been going strong for four years. Patrick played both club and varsity at Navy ('94-'98) and was stationed overseas upon graduation. Upon returning from Spain he noticed that lacrosse equipment had changed a bit. The titanium shafts especially. The shafts not only got thicker but also heavier. He envisioned making titanium shafts light again like they were in his playing days. >>Read More

D-Middies and Their Shafts

By Lacrosse Playground | August 26, 2009 |
It’s no secret that defensive middies have been an integral part of the game. UVA’s Chris Rotelli and Billy Glading catapulted the reemergence of two-way middies just a few years ago which inevitably garnered attention to D-Middies. Coaches and spectators alike started to take notice. Fans started to not only cheer for the Kyle Harrison’s of the world, but instead they found themselves rooting for the Benson Erwin’s. The vital role D-Middies play in the MLL and at any level for that matter is irreplaceable.

K18: What's the deal with the turtle?

By Lacrosse Playground | July 23, 2009 |
K18 Turtle Close-Up


We noticed there was a turtle icon on the throat of the new K18 head and on the new K18 arm guards. We also noticed a lot of people wondering why. To find out, we went to the source. Here's what Kyle Harrison had to say about the turtle symbol appearing on his new line:
Turtles in my family have always been good luck (as they are in many other cultures as well, as you know). If you go to my parents’ house there are over 100 turtles around from pictures to sculptures to hide-a-key things, and everything else you can imagine. The turtle on the stick is actually the tattoo I've got on my left leg. [It's] just a family symbol and STX was nice enough to let me incorporate it into my entire new equipment line.
