2. A legend retires.

One of the best to ever suit up in the NLL, Shawn Evans, announced his retirement from the league.

Congrats to one of the best and toughest to ever play the game, Shawn Evans!

After 17 seasons, he retires as a #NLL champion and ranks 4th in assists, 5th in total points, 5th in games played, and 9th in goals scored in regular season history. An absolute legend on the field  pic.twitter.com/LMJPeOmMlv

3. A gift for goalies.

Two-time USA goalie Trevor Tierney sharing some knowledge.

Dear lacrosse friends, I just posted 40 goalie drill videos free of charge on YouTube. Ryan LaPlante and I filmed these a few years back for our Goalie Evolution Academy. Please share with any goalies or coaches you know!https://t.co/cbHdk773Eg
