You may have heard rumblings about a new movie in the works called 'Transition'. Based on the true story of the younger brother of Anthony Bradford (writer/producer), the film follows a high school star who battles cancer to regain a spot on his varsity team. The soundtrack features Mikey Powell, who contributed a collection of his songs for the film. “This isn’t just a lacrosse film, but the film also has the purpose to raise awareness of Pediatric Cancer,” says Bradford.

Gloves have evolved a great deal over the history of lacrosse. Lacrosse gloves are designed to protect players' hands from checks, as checking the hands and stick are a big part of defense.

Slated to play the beefy laxer in the highly anticipated motion picture, Warrior, next spring there is a little something you should know about Kellan Lutz. Before Kellan Lutz made it big time playing Emmett Cullen in the 2008 film Twilight he was an Abercrombie & Fitch model. Not only was he an Abercrombie & Fitch model, but he was a lacrosse player in an A&F TV promotional video. Kellan Lutz apparently grew up playing lacrosse in the Midwest. LPG isn't sure what to think of the video, but we'll leave that up to you after the jump...

Not only is Tommy a remarkable painter, but he is also creatively involved with an upcoming movie, Warrior.

BroBible recently sat down with Chris Mead and Matt Wheeler, founders of LacrosseRecruits.com, about their website and how to stand out amongst your peers on the field and off the field. Chris and Matt also let us in on their upcoming plans for the fall.
In the interview Co-Founder Chris Meade states that LacrosseRecruits.com "had extensive cooperation from the coaching community in developing features that cannot be found in other recruiting applications, so coaches use the tool. It incorporates video, which is growing in importance due to the growth of the game. It makes it easy to communicate with college coaches. And most importantly we feel that we had an inside track when compared to other recruiting websites since we played, coached, and also spent endless hours of our lives on the computer."

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.

The vital role D-Middies play in the MLL and at any level for that matter is irreplaceable.

You will definitely find some of those occurrences in the following clips.
