Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. Lacrosse keeps coming back in different ways and in 2022 one of the biggest events of the year — LaxCon — is back on the calendar. Tickets for the Fan Fest portion of LaxCon went on sale yesterday.
2. Kirkland Lewis, a former Old Dominion and Delaware State player who was an assistant coach at Bucknell last season, has been named as the head women’s lacrosse coach at Furman.
3. Premier Lacrosse League co-founder Paul Rabil will transition into the role of president of the league following his retirement as a player.
On @PaulRabil's transition to President, "We’re confident that his leadership experience on-field and across new media will help drive the PLL’s success into the future.”

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING
A fireside chat with Kyle Harrison pays tribute to Allen Iverson as the origins for his split dodge.
Over the years my split dodge turned into a combination of all of my favorite players to watch: Jalbert, Haugen, Boland, Colsey, PR, Schreiber, Seibald, Prout & more! But in the beginning, it was straight from @alleniverson in 5th grade. Big wide step & shake. AI was Too clean. pic.twitter.com/R4RCvjN3Wq
