LAXIN IN VIENNA BABY

Missed Her. 
Ash and I flew over to Vienna on Thursday morning where we were greated by 2 cute Austria boys with Lacrosse sticks in the Airport who turned out to be our tour guides of the city. Good sign to a good start to what was to be an amazing weekend.
TOUR OF VIENNA

STAGLAX
All I had to say was this weekend was perfect. It was a weekend full of lacrosse, hot weather, stags, and a few cold beers after a long hard day of "friendly" international competition :)

Gotta get taped before gametime baby
Nice tude face Renee

It was so nice to play with Renee (a former Stag again). We guested for the Global Players which was comprised of Americans and some local players. It was really nice because I think they looked up to us for advice while we played, and were also really good!



It was exciting playing in a tournament at a global venue. The host of the tournament was the Vienna Monarchs which had us over to their club the first night for a welcome party. The British were crazy and played a game called "DangerCan" which I can only describe as ridiculous and stupid. I am posting a YouTube clip below to watch.  Link Below

The weekend was great and we (renee+I) got to meet so many great people playing the sport we loved. After our ankles were taped, it was great to give the go stags sign and go out there and play. We wound up coming second in the tournament (I sadly couldn't play in the finals on Sunday because I had to catch a flight) but our team did great. The GLOBAL PLAYERS was a great team and their mission was really cool. I urge anyone looking to play lacrosse abroad to look into the program.
