Traded to the Bayhawks
06/27/2008 By HunterSo after a week on barely no cell phone service, internet, and no TV, I am checking in as a member of the Washington Bayhawks. Early this week, I got a call from Dragons GM Doug Locker informing me that I was traded to the Bayhawks to play under Jarred Testa who I played for in Denver in 2006. I must say, it is always tough getting traded, but I am excited about the new oportunity in Washington. At this point in the season, I would much rather drive 45 minutes and have a chance to play than fly six and a half hours across the country to not get a chance to play.
This week has been a good one. We had our second overnight camp of the summer at Oldfields school outside of Baltimore and as I said above, the cell service was terrible, we had no access to the internet and no TV. Believe it or not, it was kind of nice to take a step away from society and the kids that came to camp were really cool and wanted to learn.
Onto the weekend, the Bayhawks face off against the Barrage and I am excited for the first game with my new team. Right after the game I will have to drive back to Baltimore because we have another camp in Baltimore this week that starts on Sunday. The camp runs until Wednesday and the Bayhawks have a bye next week, so that means I will be able to have a few days in Baltimore, something I havent had since May, before I head to the Jersey Shore on July 6th for another camp.
I hope everyone has a good one and I will try to check in next week. If I dont, have a Happy 4th of July.

06/20/2008 By HunterWhats up everyone. I know that it has been a while, but I have been sans computer for the last three weeks. Once school was over, I started my Trilogy camp circut and have spent the last two weeks in Austin and Houston, Texas with weekend stops in San Jose and Denver. I am finally home, even if it is only for a few hours. I got time to throw a load of laundry in spend some QT with Christie and Mason before I head up to NJ for the Dragons/Pride game tomorrow night.
So, the last few weeks of camp have opened my eyes even more to the growth of lacrosse in the non-traditional areas of the country. I have been going to Texas for the last three summer to coach kids at camp and this year I was blown away. The kids in Austin and Houston have really been working to be better players and in two years, I feel that a lot of these kids will be finding their way to DI rosters.
As for the Dragons, we are sitting at 1 and 3 and unfortuently I have not been playing. I wish I could give a reason why, or even knew why, but I am really not sure. I have been traveling and practicing with the team, and have done whatever I can to help the coaches and the younger guys, but it has been tough not getting on that field. Hopefully that will all end soon. Sadly, it wont be this weekend, but hopefully it will be soon...
Sunday starts another stretch of travel with four straight weeks of camp, I will try to check in. Have a good one and enjoy the summer.
Game 2 and Summer
06/03/2008 By HunterIts been a couple weeks since my last post, so I am going to blast you with this one since it may be a while until I can post again. I want to start by congratulating Cuse on winning the championship and Mike Levielle winning the Tewarton.
The Dragons faced off with the LA Riptide on Saturday in our home opener at San Jose State Universtiy and unfortuently lost. It was a hard fought game on both sides but we came up a little short. I did not play because I am nursing a bruised quad that happened in the fourth quarter of the Chicago game two weeks ago, but I should be out there this week when we face off against Chicago again, this time at home.
My summer starts on Friday, and I cant wait. The weather has been getting hotter and it has been feeling more and more like summer everyday. On Friday, I start my 16 day lacrosse tour, by heading to San Fran to play Chicago on Sunday. After Sunday, I will be in Austin, TX for our Trilogy Camp until Friday when I fly to Denver to play the Outlaws on Saturday. Sunday, it is back to Texas, only this time to Houston for another Trilogy Camp until Friday when I fly back to Baltimore and drive rite to New Jersey to play the Pride on Saturday.
Seems like a lot doesnt it? Believe it or not, that is only the beginning. I will try to check in and let everyone know how the travel is going. Wish the Dragons luck, we need to get off this two game losing streak.
