by Hutton JacksonDecember 16, 20192 min readAdd comment

This episode features Lyle Thompson, forward with the Georgia Swarm, MVP attackman with the Chesapeake Bayhawks and member of the Iroquois National team. We discuss the three pillars of his relationship with the sport of lacrosse, growing up on the Onondaga Nation and what the sport of lacrosse means to him and his three brothers Jerome, Jeremy and Miles.

We also discuss his time playing under Coach Scott Marr at the University of Albany, earning back-to-back Tewaaraton trophies including one with his brother Miles, and winning the 2017 NLL Championship with the Swarm and 2019 Championship with the Chesapeake Bayhawks.
