Who is the face of lacrosse? I posed this question last week<\/a><\/em>. Paul Rabil was the easy answer for the past 15 years. Rabil has moved from the field to the front office full-time. The game is in need of a face to connect with fans and younger generations. I came up with a list of the Top 5 names to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
  1. Blaze Riorden<\/strong><\/li>
  2. Lyle Thompson<\/strong><\/li>
  3. Trevor Baptiste<\/strong><\/li>
  4. Charlotte North<\/strong><\/li>
  5. Joey Spallina<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    I made my case last week for Blaze Riorden<\/a><\/em>. He is a phenomenal athlete playing forward for the NLL Wings<\/em><\/a> and goalie for the Chaos LC<\/a><\/em>. Two other names emerged from the comments and replies to my story; Lyle Thompson and Trevor Baptiste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Today, I will make the argument for Lyle. He is in his 8th year of professional lacrosse and just wrapped up his second season with the Cannons LC<\/a><\/em> in the PLL. Lyle continues to be one of the top players in the game. This year he was awarded the Eamon McEneaney Attackman of the Year Award<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
