It's an Atlas filled Friday here at LAS as we had Atlas LC midfielder Dan Bucaro on the Going Offsides podcast, while contributor Josh Russell made the case for Atlas Head Coach Ben Rubeor as coach of the year earlier today.

He was a 2x All-American and 3x All-County award winner. He then went on to play at Georgetown where he was a major part of the programs resurgence. As a Hoya he had 226 points in 57 career games, and finished his senior season as an inside lacrosse/USILA All-American and the Big East Attackmen of the Year. MLL - PLL Bucaro was selected 9th overall by the Denver Outlaws in the 2019 MLL draft. He had an incredible season the MLL bubble which ultimately led to his 3rd overall selection by the Atlas LC in the PLL entry draft. As a member of the Atlas Dan has been one of the most consistent op

This is a sink or swim schedule that likely includes only 1 team outside of the top 20, and we don't know who that will be yet. Com

On this weeks podcast Nick and Ryan joined by intern Nick "Peaches" Pietras take a Rabil soundclip and overreact creating city based teams. WHAT IF THE PLL WENT CITY BASED? So it started off by us watching Paul Rabil on Late Night with Seth Myers: https://youtu.be/MqXhgOLaEXU?t=340 At one point Seth asks why the PLL is a touring model and after some thorough explanation from Rabil, Paul did mention that in the future it could be a city-based model. This all of the info we needed as we then jumped into discussions of which teams would fit where. Each of us had our own motivation for picking locations, some of us based it on team identity/mascot/logo while others did it based on roster makeup and head coaches. We even took into account which former MLL teams could possibly return and does that impact what cities we put the current 8 teams? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lax-all-stars/message

The movie Star So in the early 2000's, Scott, an accomplished field lacrosse player somehow found his way on a plan to shoot a few scenes in a Japanese film called "Drugstore Girl". The movie is about a Japanese girl who loves ends up homeless but happens to love lacrosse. A group of men that help her navigate the streets see he passion for lacrosse and as a sign of respect learn the game, ultimately, and I know how crazy this sounds, challenging a group of Iroquois players to a game. Scott and a group of friends traveled to Japan to shoot scenes for the movie. The Player Is it amazing that Scott Burnam was in a Japanese movie? Yes. However, what's more amazing to me is that he played in 5x world championships for the Iroquois nationals. A Cornell '91 graduate, Scott went on to play in the world games 5x, coach the Iroquois U19 team 2x, and eventually take on the role of GM. We look forward to seeing Scott's involvement in the Iroquois program moving forward. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/

With the 2021 college season in the books we broke down each of the games on the men’s side. As we all know by now, the D1 final between Maryland and Virginia was a perfect way to cap off the season. Maryland drew blood early but Virginia was able to punch back and hold on until the bitter end on an amazing and timely save by Alex Rode. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lax-all-stars/message

Jason Levesque is the current D1 Women's Head Coach at St.Bonaventure University. He has had multiple coaching stops in his career, including as an assistant for the Canadian Men's Field team. Talking Sixes Global Significance Sixes lacrosse has been in lacrosse news a lot this week, with the announcement of World Lacrosse's new discipline on Tuesday, the lacrosse industry was torn on how to react. Those of us with international ties understand how hard other countries are working to grow the game and how beneficial Sixes will be in that growth. As Jason said during our interview, the eyeballs an Olympic broadcast would provide creates a new wave of potential fans, players, and coaches. Building a Sixes Roster Full disclosure, neither of us know exactly what the roster limitations will be but we do understand that the rosters will be capped and much smaller than the world games roster of 23. With that being said, we dove a little deeper into what types of players we see being beneficial: traditional 2 way mid
