This winter, Greg Gurenlian announced his retirement from the sport, thus ending one of the most illustrious careers in the history of lacrosse.

A Philly kid from the beginning, Gurenlian had his eyes set on playing lacrosse at Penn State. He joined the Nittany Lions program in 2003 and quickly became one of the most feared faceoff men in the nation.

After his collegiate career, Gurenlian became a star in Major League Lacrosse. He played his first few years with multiple teams before finding his place with the New York Lizards, where he won Most Valuable Player in 2015.

The six-time All-Star called it quits in in 2017, only to return to the game to win gold with the U.S. national team in 2018, and then when the Premier Lacrosse League was founded in 2018.

Now, after one full season with the PLL’s Redwoods, Gurenlian is done for good. He leaves behind a legacy of being one of the greatest faceoff men in lacrosse history.

For now, he’s focused on raising his son, Jax, and continuing to revolutionize the position. Catch Gurenlian on Episode 2, Season 3 of US Lacrosse Magazine’s Overtime Podcast.
