BENEFITS TO VAIL 'ROOM NIGHTS/SPENDING Following the 2005 Vail Lacrosse Shootout, we sent an inquiry to all of our participating teams asking for their best estimate of lodging & food expenses, other activities participated in while in Vail, retail purchases and intent of returning to Vail for other purposes. Following is a summary of what they reported back to us. Lodeine nights/amount scent on lodging The average number of nights lodging booked was approx. 4 nights per team and the range of what teams spent on lodging in Vail was between $3,900 and $15,000.. Restaurant meals/amount spent on food The average number.of restaurant meals per team was approx. 170. The range of what teams spent eating in restaurants during their stay was $1,500 to $11,000. NOTE: This amount does not include money teams spent at grocery stores). Participation in other activities Most teams have reported.to us that they participate in quite a few other activities during their stay in Vail. A majority of teams report that they and their family members or friends that have accompanied them also participate in one or more of the following activities: river rafting, shopping, golfing, biking and fishing. The range of what teams spent on "other activities" while in Vail is from $400 to $5,060. Teams_intendine to return to the Shootout in 2006 The teams that participated in the 2005 tournament were polled, as to whether they intended to return for the 2006 tournament.. Of the'teams responding, 97% have indicated they will be returning to participate in 2006. (NOTE: Not all teams have responded to our inquiry as yet and the girls and -women teams were not included in the inquiry). Players intehding..to return to Vail for other purposes About. 14 of the 24 teams that responded to our inquiry have indicated that members of their team do return to Vail at other times of year and for other purposes. One team indicated that several of their members stayed on-in Vail-after the tournament to vacation. Quite a few teams indicated that team members return to Vail on ski vacations in the winter. Orie high school team indicated that a few of their players families own property in Vail. One Superniasters team is organizing a ski trip of their players this winter. Retail. purchases Most teams.weren't able to provide us an estimated figure for their retail purchases. The lowest amount reported. was $500. The Supermasters teams seemed to have more retail purchases - several, estimates of around $1,000 to $1,500 were given and 2 teams estimated their retail purchases at $5,000 and $6,000. Attachment No. 6 Attachment No. 7 Return on Investment The primary return on investment for Vail is a stable, consistent-event that continues to expand. Our target expansion groups this year, the new over 50 and, the expansion of the youth, will increase bookings prior to the July 4" weekend (over 50; June 26 and-27) and bring families in July 1 and July 2. The projection for 2006 for attendees is 4;726.. This is an increase of approximately 350 attendees: The funding will be used to increase marketing efforts to extend the,fan base throughout the 10 day event, to seed the establishment of the over 50 division and to reduce existing debt. The debt reduction will help insure the continuation of the event by a volunteer dominated group. Attachment No. 8 Board of Directors James J. Soran, III Philip H.

Most teams don't have a coach conducting tryouts. Preseason captains' practices no longer exist out of school. But what sets the post-collegiate season apart most from the college season is the fact that there are no playoffs nor championships to strive for each season. With the exception of women's lacrosse leagues in the Baltimore area, most teams throughout the country lack even modest amounts of local competition. Therefore, teams do not play what most sports fans would consider a regular season schedule: two to three games per week throughout the spring culminating in a league championship. Instead, women's post-collegiate lacrosse has made necessary adjustments to keep the sport alive. Instead of competing all "OUR INITIATIVE HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO PROVIDE A CONDUCIVE ATMOSPHERE FOR ANY PLAYER OUTSIDE OF COLLEGETO FIN D ATEAM AND BEABLETO PLAY, NO MATTER WHAT LEVELOF COMPETITION SHE MAYBE LOOKING FOR." -AYANA GREEN, CHAIR, US LACROSSE WDPCC COUNCIL year to play in the playoffs and then for the championship title, the post-collegiate clubs have had to remain competitive by enlisting in weekend tournaments all throughout the country. The tournaments largely take place in the spring and summer, but there are tournaments throughout the year too. On average, there are 25 tournaments that place nationwide. The US ,w?:,;?=?;_,,.;,?.?:,?ad•..?. , =?; annually take Lacrosse Women's Division Post-Collegiate Clubs (WDPCC) Council lists all tournaments on its Web site, www.uslacrosse.org/wdpcc. While every team in each corner of the h'•" ;'s <:.:. °.. count ry handles the "season" differently, most teams function in a similar way to prepare for "i the summer season. At the beginning of the :.. W new lacrosse season in the spring, leaders or u n....., x. :" officials at each lacrosse team research all l the tournaments scheduled for the year and communicate that to their respective players. a Once they have decided which tournaments have sparked enough interest to field a team, 81 13 the teams pay the tournament fees. Depending on each individual team's budget and amount of players on the roster, teams can compete in as many or few tournaments as they like because each tournament operates independently. Despite- the fact that these tournaments do not culminate in a championship at the end of the season, but rather. at the end of the weekend, there is an overarching theme to each one: fun, friendly competition. Kristen Calore, who heads up the women's side of the very popular Bump and Grind Tournament, says that competition and camaraderie is the aim for the atmosphere of the tournament from the outset. "We try to promote a competitive . atmosphere at the Bump and Grind, all while celebrating the love of playing lacrosse," Calore says. "It's a great place to hone your skills as a collegiate or post-collegiate player, as well as network within the lacrosse community." At this year's Bump and Grind, held in its new host city of Philadelphia, the tournament fielded 16 men's teams and seven women's teams the weekend of July 30-31. On Saturday, each women's team competed in three games. The results of the three games in which they played, including the goal-spread during wins, determined their rank for Sunday's bracket competition. The eventual winner was Team ECES. The scenery of the Vell Lacrosse Shootout (above) always makes it a popular destination. The Bump and Grind Tournament (below) enjoyed Its best year. yet in its seventh year of a women's division. 82 F'US I-GULL V WA C t: HIGH TIMES VAIL SHOOTOUT REMAINS ATOP POST- COLLEGIATE MOUNTAIN BY PAUL KROME WOE IS JIM SORAN. YOU CAN HEAR it in his voice. The tournament director for the tradition-rich Vail Lacrosse Shootout has to deal with these problems stemming from its 2005 edition: complaints from some Super Masters men's teams about too many games; a wait list for the girls' high school division; a nightlife that may sap some energy from tournament participants. Won't anyone come to his rescue? Actually, it's very good to be Jim Soran these days - "problems" and all. How can it not be? Ninety-two teams in six divisions of play made the ascent to picturesque Vail, Colo., for the annual summertime lacrosse classic. It began with four club teams in Aspen in 1971. "We started the tournament to promote lacrosse and expand the game. Now, anytime we have an opportunity to do that, we grab a hold of it" said Soran, referring to the expansion of the event to include tournaments for men's and women's Elite, boys' and girls' high school, and men's Masters and Super Masters levels. Already full for girls' high school play, Soran said the next growth opportunity may come in quality, if not quantity, of the Elite field. "There are so many more people competing in college lacrosse than there were 10 years ago. The college club teams have added something special. When you see a top club like the Colorado State team go up against a GMH or Ge Fast (traditional Elite powers with many current and recent NCAA Division I players), you can see the caliber of play closing," said Soran. "They still have a ways to go to catch them, but that kind of growth has been expected because so many kids are playing at the college level now. Their programs are getting better. It's a natural progression." Progression may be something to be wary of when engaging in the ski town's renowned night life. Lacrosse players have never been known to shy. away from a party, much to the delight of the many bars that line downtown Vail. One has even sponsored the tournament's officials, although Soran was quick to point out that was for t-shirts and gear. He has seen no letdown in the quality of officiating, and for good reason. Depending on the level of play, assigners bring in teams of officials that have worked together during the season or they match a relatively new official with a couple pf veterans. For all the revelry, legitimate evaluation and training of officials occurs, something Soran feels is essential to boosting the sport's growth across the country. At least Soran need not worry about officials. He wouldn't have time, given all the other "problems" he must manage for the wildly successful Vail Lacrosse Shootout.

If you have a favorite lacrosse player in the college game today, chances are you will find him some= where in the Vail Valley this weekend. We've got Blue Jays, Big Red, Orangemen and Blue Devils. There are Poets, Minutemen, Midshipmen, Buckeyes and Pioneers. We've even got our share of Panthers, Tigers, Greyhouds, Camels and Rams.

Colorado's premier club teams and will bring even continued on page 8 7 Men's Elite Pr9VIeW-continuedJrom page 7 more to the table this year. Attackmen Dan Stroup (Coquitlam) and Steve Govett (Coquitlam) bring their stick-savvy box skills to the field game to orchestrate the offense. They will be joined by some serious talent at the midfield, including local stars Chad Wittman (Denver) and Travis Taylor (Denver). Kevin Huntley (Johns Hopkins) and Mark Miyashita (Canisius) will also report for duty to form one of the most deep and rugged middie groups in the tourney. Defensemen Dan Pratt (Syracuse), Tom Ethington (Denver) and John Gallant (Lake Superior State) head up a dangerous group of poles. With a new group of players join- ing the already solid corps of veterans in the lineup, you can expect the Mammoth to make a strong run again in 2005. Team Mammoth wishes to thank its sponsor, Harrow Lacrosse. #2-GMH COACHES: Mike Busza and Mike Holloway KEY PLAYERS: A Sean Morris (UMass), A Marc Morley (UMass), M Bill McGlone (Maryland), D Bret Moyer (Hofstra), D Jack Reid (UMass) CAPSULE: This Philadelphia-based entrant comes to Vail in 2005 with hopes of improv- ing upon their last two showings. Considering that GMH has finished second in both the 2003 and 2004 Shootouts, it's not hard to guess what this team wants this year. Featuring some of the best players to ever come through Pennsylvania, GMH is a safe bet to reach the finals again in 2005. Attackmen Sean Morris and Marc Morley (UMass) team up with Xander Ritz (Maryland) and Mike Holloway (Villanova) to form one of the best units in the tourna- ment. In fact, three Holloway brothers will play for the team this year with Ryan (Villanova) and Patrick (Cabrini) both expecting to see extensive playing time as well. Maryland's Bill McGlone could be one of the most dangerous and creative midfield- ers playing in the tournament and will be worth the price of admission on his own. But GMH's success has been found through smart team play, not individual dominance, so don't expect to be able to pick many of these guys out of a crowd. GMH is spon- sored by Gary M. Holloway, President and CEO of GMH Associates, Inc. and GMH Communities Trust located in Newtown Square, PA. In addition to sending his fifth straight team to Vail, Gary is also the owner of the MLL's Philadelphia Barrage. #3-REBEL LACROSSE JAMMING SALMON COACH: Joe Hope KEY PLAYERS: A Peter Troup (Salisbury State), D Kyle Mitten (Washington College), D Blaine Mitten (Loyola), A Joe Hope (Ithaca) CAPSULE: The Salmon have become a fixture near the top of the table in Vail and are hop- ing that 2005 brings them their elusive first ? championship. They have finished third or better for each of the past three seasons are thinking that 2005 could be the year they break through. With 11 college All- Americans and seven former Major League Lacrosse stars on the roster, the Fish may just make good on that promise. Joe Hope (Ithaca) and Peter Troup (Salisbury) are stal- warts on an attack unit that seems to be the team's strength every year. Jed Cronin (Ohio Wesleyan) leads a talented midfield that includes Kyle Frigon (Notre Dame), Ross Johnson (Dartmouth) and Graham Davidson (Williams). The two Mitten brothers man the defensive side of the field along with Jeff Burroughs (Chapman). They will protect Matt Troy (Ithaca) and Chris Hettler (Colgate), both veteran netminders. In the words of the team, the Fish are "hungry to Spawn & Die and grab the hardware" in 2005. Rebel Lacrosse Jammin' Salmon would like to give thanks to sponsors Rebel Lacrosse, SCS Commodities Corp and Commonwealth Development Group. #4-TEAM Go FAST COACHES: Jon Barocas, Kyle Harrison, Garth Miles KEY PLAYERS: A Jake Byrne (Johns Hopkins), A Mike Law (Denver), M Paul Rabil (Johns Hopkins), G Jesse Schwartzmann (Johns Hopkins) CAPSULE: Team Go Fast (formerly Team Velocity Sp), sponsored by Go Fast Sports and Beverage Company, will feature elite players from Johns Hopkins, Denver, Syracuse, Harvard, Villanova, Hofstra, Loyola and Brown. The attack will include Johns Hopkins standout Jake Byrne and 8 continued on page 10 jl-@,-wQ0vv(?Mj LAX WORLD COLORADO MCO'S E1111 PP1Y11W-continued from'page 8 University of Denver stars Adam Stifel and Mike Law. Matt Rewkowski, Paul Rabil and Colorado's own Kip Malo, all fresh off an NCAA Championship, will man the mid- field. Jon Urbana (Villanova), Chris Watson (Johns Hopkins) and Cory Vann (Denver) join Spencer Stenmark (Harvard) on defense. All-American Goalie Jesse Schwartzman (Johns Hopkins) hopes to par- lay success at the NCAA level here in Vail. Young players and fans can get one-on-one instruction from all of the players after each game and at the Go Fast Colorado Lacrosse Camp held July 6-9 in Denver at All City Stadium.

The team only brings 10 back seven players from the 2004 roster, but appears to be stacked again, featuring 16 All-Americans at the Division I, II and III levels. Devan Spilker (Limestone) and Luke Gilbert (Whittier) have been two of the best attackmen in Vail over the past two years and return to lead a group that will once again be a strong point for Merrill. The mid- field is loaded as well with Jimmy Mormile (Brown), Steve Vallone (Syracuse) and Andy Murray (Salisbury) to name a few. Joe Rosenbaum (Princeton), John Pritzlaff (Hampden-Sydney) and Aaron Jaffe (Whittier) head up a solid defense. Look for Merrill to be right in the mix again in 2005 as they expect nothing less than a champi- onship. Team Merrill Lynch/Riddell Lacrosse would like to thank its sponsors: STX Lacrosse, O-Pro Mouthguards, Red Bull and Patriot Capital. #C--TEAM RoCK-IT POCKET COACH: Flip Naumburg KEY PLAYERS: A Nick Stanitz-Harper (Colorado State), M Pat Bird (Colorado State), D Troy Ergenbright (Rutgers), LSM Mark Plonkey (Colorado State) CAPSULE: Team Rock-it Pocket has come a long way since its ragtag days back in the late 1990s. Now the team is a great mix of cur- rent and former Colorado State University stars along with a couple "ringers" from other teams. The team will feature some of the best players ever to compete at CSU, including former All- Americans Mike Roth, Mike Napolilli and Nick Stanitz- Harper at attack. Ohio State attackmen Lance Vitt and Craig Nolan will help round out the front lines. The poles are solid as well with Troy Ergenbright (Rutgers) and Kellin Bershinsky (CSU) leading the way. The team will also look for con- tributions from Navy's Ben Bailey and several other MDIA stars at the midfield. In all, there will be 21 MDIA All-Americans on this roster. RIP has finished in the top 9 for the past four years and hope to make it five in a row in 2005.

An abundance of Navy Midshipmen join the team, including All-American goaltender Matt Russell and defensemen Mitch Hendler and Bucky Morris. With a smattering of talent from other Division I schools like Denver and Colgate, the Oysters may be ready to take the next step in the Vail Tournament. They haven't finished in the top 8, but are knocking on the door and it would not be a stretch for this team to con- tend for a final four appearance. The Oysters led Lax.com 4-0 at half last year in the first round before falling apart in a 7-4 loss, so look for this team to use that and their 10th place finish in 2004 as motivation. The Rocky Mountain Oysters would like to thank their sponsors: Laxgear (www.laxgear.net ), Pass Time Security (www.passtimeusa.com) and Wells Fargo. #8-TEAm PROx COACH: Chris Davis KEY PLAYERS: Not Available CAPSULE: Team Prox has been in Vail for a number of years under several different monikers and return in 2005 after a 2-2 showing 2004. The team did not provide any information at press time, but they are a fun loving bunch that usually takes their off- field antics as seriously as their on-the-field performance. continued on page 12 Long Sleeves * T -Shirts * Shorts * Tanks * Shoes 7-800-393-2225 /00OT--shirts .. long sleeves .. shorts .. caps .. sweats ..

A number of new players come from top Division I and Division III teams and the team should prove exciting to watch in 2005. With the return of standout goalie Chris Bluse (Colorado) and defenseman Patrick Gowan (Team England) Tap Room will no doubt give many teams a tough time scoring. On the offensive side of the ball, Tap Room has added standout player Matt Sonke (Salisbury State) to returning attack- man Nate Rinfret (Metro State). When not on the field, you will find the team enjoying the Vail nightlife starting each evening at the Tap Room, located at the top of Bridge Street (333 Bridge Street). As the nights progress, the team will be venturing between their home sponsor and Sanctuary, located above the Tap Room. Tap Room wishes good luck to all this year and gives much thanks to the Tap Room and Lax World Colorado for making this season possible. # 10-TEAm 21 COACH: David Coors KEY PLAYERS: None specified CAPSULE: Team 21 is a team comprised of 32 Cornell University alumni who graduated between 1999 and 2005. The members of Team 21 have shared numerous personal TovNERLINE established 1971 WHi i r-WATER.

Many of the members of Team 21 have also been presented with prestigious awards from the Cornell Athletic Department. Team 21 has come together in honor of Mario St. George Boiardi, a Cornell lacrosse player and captain who fell during an early-season contest in the 2004 season. Wearing the number "21", George exempli- fied everything it means to be a Cornell lacrosse player, showing not only incredible athletic ability and tireless work ethic on the field, but showing admirable character and a selfless lifestyle off the field. For the mem- bers of Team 21, it was not only George's athleticism and character that we honor, but also the friendship we all shared with him. "Mario St. George Boiardi. Tireless work- er, selfless teammate and loyal friend who gave his life playing the game he loved." July 30, 1981-March 17, 2004 Team 21 would like to thank its spon- sors: Coors Light, Brine, MICRIMARx Inc., Patron Tequila, John Schalk, Casey Powell and those who desired to contribute silently. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. #17 TEAm GurrmAN COACH: David Watts KEY PLAYERS: D Jed Raymond (Middlebury), M Greg Bastis (Middlebury), A Mark Foster (Middlebury), M Chris Davis (Middlebury) CAPSULE: Team Guttman is comprised almost entirely of current and former Middlebury stars and will be looking to make another successful tournament run. Named after their famous manager Myron Guttman Kohn, Guttman has become a fix- ture in the Vail Shootout for the past four years. There are plenty of All-Americans on this squad who have represented the blue and white well both in school and during the after hours activities in the Valley. Goalie Eric Krieger, a first team All-American in 2004, will man the net while Mark Foster and Charley Howe anchor the attack. At the midfield, Guttman will be paced by David Leach and Greg Bastis. The Guttman boys expect to be in the hunt again, this time aiming for all its players to show up for every game, on and off the field. Team Guttman would like to thank all the families that donated their time and efforts into mak- ing this year happen. We would also like to send a special thanks to the Call for the Wild Foundation for their immeasurable support. :`?- j. 12 swaz1e snaft Swerve Head #I 2-THE A-TEAM COACH: Jim Sbarra KEY PLAYERS: D Ryan McFadden (Duke), A Peter Milliman (Gettysburg), M Brad Ross (Duke) CAPSULE: The A-Team is a hand picked selection of past and present players from Duke, Maryland, and Ohio State. With a solid group of players, the A-Team is hoping to make a splash in their first Vail appear- ance. They will be solid in goal with Tony Russo (Ohio State) and Rob Schroeder (Duke) sharing time between the pipes. The defense will be lead by Vail veterans Kevin Mayer (Duke) and Ryan McFadden (Duke). At midfield, the A-Team will rely on its young legs with Pete Dillon (Ohio State), Jimmy Sbarra (Maryland), Brad Ross (Duke) and Reade Seligman (Duke). At attack is one of Vail's best mercenaries, Peter Milliman (Gettysburg) and Mike Young (Duke). The A-Team would like to thank their sponsors: Dr. Mayer and the Medical NFL Players Association along with Bill Sbarra who played at Maryland back in 1967. Without you none of this would be possible. #I 3 TEAM FUBAR COACH: Mike Johnson KEY PLAYERS: M Dave Spratlin (Hobart), LSM Eric Hester (UMBC), M Geordy Bishop (Denver), A Scott Spratlin (Johns Hopkins) CAPSULE: Team Fubar returns for its 10th year in Vail after numerous name changes in the past. This team is mostly comprised of Colorado-grown talent and its greatest hope is not to be paired up against the eventual tournament champion in the first round, as was the case last year. Longpole Eric Hester (UMBC) can be downright nasty at times and will lead the defense for Fubar, who won last year's fashionable jersey contest with some sharp button ups. Scott Spratlin (Johns Hopkins) heads up the attack unit while Scott's brother Dave (Hobart) helps out at midfield. Fubar's midfield will also get con- tributions from Peter (Denver) and George (Vermont) Hein. Team Fubar would once again like to thank their sponsor (Fubar), man about town Chuck Belden (formerly of Vail, CO), and fashionable, yet slightly bloat- ed organizer Mike Johnson. We truly would not be able to enjoy this annual event as much as we do without all your help. #14-NoRTHWEST NIRVANA COACH: Josh Saunders and Chris Shogun KEY PLAYERS: A Josh Saunders (Washington' State), M Chris Shogun (Gonzaga), M Matt Althauser CAPSULE: Formerly known as QC Lax and Team Washington, this group of players from the Northwest is making its 4th appearance in Vail. After getting their first win last year, Nirvana hopes to improve 14 again in 2005. Led by mostly players from Washington including Josh Saunders and Chris Shogan, this year's team will also fea- ture more Division I and III stars than ever before. Players from Denver, Vermont, Stevens Tech and Wheeling Jesuit dot the roster to round out a pretty solid crew of players. Expect this team to live up to their name on and off the field as they approach a state of "Lacrosse-Bliss" during the 2005 tournament. #15-CITYGRILLE/FLYING DOG COACH: Andy Shopneck KEY PLAYERS: G Andrew Jarolimek (Colgate), M Jon Rydberg (Ohio State), A Jason Anderson (Colorado), D John Loftus (St. Lawrence), A Kevin Burke (Connecticut College) CAPSULE: A new entry in 2005, CityGrille/Flying Dog's roster contains a contingent of players from schools like Colgate, Harvard, Ohio State, St. Lawrence t and Boston College and the team hopes to make some waves in its first year of Vail competition. Most of the players share some sort of Colorado connection and played with and against each other all the way through high school. There is a strong core of Connecticut College alums on the roster as well. Kevin Burke is in the Camels' top 10 all-time in points and will be joined by Dan Hawxhurst and Andy Shopneck among oth- ers. Two good goaltenders man the nets in Andrew Jarolimek (Colgate) and Chris Shopneck (Colorado College) while the defense is led by John Loftus (St. Lawrence). While CityGrille/Flying Dog is a bit of a mystery, they will likely have its moments in Vail 2005. #16-THE USUAL SUSPECTS COACH: Bill O'Neil KEY PLAYERS: Not Available CAPSULE: No information was available at press time for 2004's last place team. ?

When not on the field you can find these girls at the Red Lion trying to adjust to the altitude. Time to Get Nasty Again Green!!!! RELAXERS-Morgan Lang Our trip out to the Vail/Avon Lacrosse Shootout can be summarized for each person as follows: Flight-$200. Entry Fee-$60. Hotel- $100. Enough celebration to give seventeen girls the time of their lives-Priceless! Eleven of us come from the College of William and Mary and the others are friends of friends. We did not come out here to make fools of ourselves (well at least not on the field), but instead to have the opportuni- ty to play lacrosse together one last time. We are looking forward to reuniting with old teammates and playing competitive lacrosse. Hopefully we'll hold our own-but with the altitude difference and socializing, I guess we'll find out! We named ourselves "reLAXers" because we plan to be relaxed and have fun, but also because many of us are coming back to play. We are looking for- ward to the weekend and the competition. Good luck to everyone! CHICAGO-Bridget Olp Lakeshore Lacrosse will make its debut at the Shootout this year. We are a Chicago- based team (including a couple of visiting ringers), made up of professional women liv- ing in the Chi-town area, including a couple of visiting ringers. Most women coach and ref and are thus heavily involved in the rap- idly growing Midwestern youth lacrosse pro- grams. We are looking forward to an awe- some visit to Colorado and hopefully begin- ning a long tradition of playing at the Vail Shootout! As newcomers, we are not sure of happenings off the field, but we are sure our more seasoned competition can help us get duly acclimated. 1. Licensee of the _PMNatlo.nal Lacrosse League 1'877-G®'Z CU BUFFS-Lora Spencer When old rivals become teammates it's any- one's guess as to what the outcome might be. Comprised mostly of girls from the state of Colorado, the University of Colorado women's lacrosse team began the 2005 sea- son as a bunch of girls who played against each other in high school. Sounds somewhat similar to the cast of the 1980 United States Olympic hockey team-with the exception that lacrosse is not an Olympic sport and the closest team Colorado has to resembling the Soviet Union is arch rival Colorado State. Players hail from Pennsylvania, New York, Boston and New Hampshire to balance the team out and the Buffs competed at the highest level in CU team history, earning their first appearance in the USL-WDIA National Championship tournament. After a disheartening loss to Santa Clara in the first round, the Buffs went on to beat Lindenwood then Maryland in a heart-stopping overtime game to finish off the season. 20-SOMETHING Ali Craig "We are a hot team of twenty-somethings in our first years of the real world, striving for the big paycheck, but still embracing our continued on page 20 18 A Colorado company serving the Denver Area own I i LETON 6810 S.

RAMMIT Jen Gunlichson The green and gold is back and excited for another year of Vail Lacrosse under the sponsorship of Strata Directional Technology. Team Rammit is made of current and former players from Colorado State University and is ready to take on the best! Their lightening fast transition, sharp-shooting attack and solid defense hope to show what club lacrosse is all about. Team Rammit is looking forward to high altitude lacrosse and fun in the Rockies this 4th of July! TEAM OHIO-Liz Ford Team Ohio has been attending the Shootout for many years. Each year a new group of Midwesterners make up the team. This year's team is a variety of Division I, II, and III players with some club players to round out the roster. With a range of ages, all ready to play in the mountains we can't wait to make new friends, enjoy ourselves in the sun and have fun. Look for us on and off the field to be making some noise.

They are just out here with the hopes of playing some good lacrosse and having a great time. Off the field they'll be looking to the veterans to get fully acclimated. FUBAR-Lisa Watts Team Fubar is excited to return to the Vail Shootout for it's 5th consecutive year.

This group consists of Vail Valley locals who are ready to compete and celebrate with all the teams who have come to play in our beautiful mountain home- town. Many of our players help to coach and volunteer for a local youth program, the Western Colorado Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League, www.rocky- mountainlax.org.

Presumably the rat race chase along with the "child bearing" and rearing years that are such a part of being thirty something make it difficult to swing a trip. Later, with things going along pretty well by the time lax playing lovers are 40, they come back with the whole family for the complete Super Masters mid-life experience. In 2005, Rusty Red (Cornell University Alumni) returns as two-time defending champions. This team has dominated the Masters over the last two years, displacing the STX Long Island Masters, and the Colorado/Rock-it Pocket team that won three in a row earlier this century. Last year, the Big Red Machine, led by all-Everything defenseman Gerry Byrne, playmaker and former MAB Paint standout G.T. Corrigan, and scoring machine and former U.S.A. World Teamer Tim Goldstein made a shambles of the 2004 tournament. The final score in the Championship game was 13-2. This team of "oldsters" likely could have made plenty of waves in the Elite/young guys Division. Long Island STX Masters will likely try and load up for this trip after the beating they took in that final a year ago. We will have to wait and see what the Islanders bring. Rocco Gugliano can still be a force on the face off, and Mickey Menna might have more collective points accumulated in more Divisions in Vail than anyone else in Shootout history. Third place for 2004, Boathouse/Rock-it Pocket is always a potential giant. Former St. Lawrence player and Colorado product Sam Hovey always puts together a bunch of good players. Peter Scott can still find the back of the other guy's net, and Dan Cisneros can still protect his own. The rest of the field rounds out with Team Meineke, the Middlebury alumni team, and Middle Aged Crisis. The Masters has a unique style of its own. There is a great deal of skill and still enough youth to make the Masters game fast and exciting at a very high level. Look for the semi-finals on Monday to showcase some great games with out- standing talent. 28 Sunday Monday June 26 Monday June 27 June 27 Tuesday RUSTY RED Tuesday June 28 Ford-West I June 28 4:00 pm GameI Ford-West BRIGHT FUTURES Ford-West 8:00 am 2:00 pm Game 7 TEAM MEINEKE Game 5 Edwards 4:00 pm Game2 Ford-West MIDDLEBURY Ford-West 10:00 am 12:00 pm Game 11 BoATHousE/RocK-rr POCKET Game 9 MASTERS Athletic CHAMPION 4:00 pm Game 3 Ford-West MIDDLE AGE CRISIS Ford-West 10:00 am 12:00 pm Game 8 I.Ax GEAR Game 6 Ford-West 2:00 pm LOSER 7 Game 4 LosER 5 Ford-West LACROSSE UNLIMITED (LONG ISLAND) Ford-West 2:00 pm Game 12 8:00 am 13RD PLACE Game 10 LOSER 8 LOSER 6 Tap Room _ 970-479-0500 • Vail Top of Bridge Street ?

Players have pushed Social Security questions aside for the week and pose the following: Can defending champs CVLC return with the dominant goalkeeping duo of Pretrosko and Crisco? Can Tombstone raise some scoring power from the crypt? Will Navy bring the big guns? Was Tap Room a one night stand in '03? Will the '05 format help any of the middle of the pack-Middlebury, Frogs, Lax Planet, Magic Wands, Rockies, Behind the Back or USA Stars reach the final four?

Norm was an exceptional contributor to the Vail Shootout from the years 1978 through 1983 as coach of the Ralph Dole's Piano Bar California Lacrosse Team. In that span, Norm had an enviable record of leading Team Dole to three championships, two second, and one third place finish. Norm recounted the Vail games as priceless, even when Mount Washington Tavern beat Team Dole, with Webb as coach, in the most memorable game in tournament history, in six overtimes. Lacrosse Magazine has written about Norm's generous gift of $4.5 million to U.S. Lacrosse, and presented an overview of his military combat awards, and his lacrosse contributions. These accomplishments are consistent with Norm's personal style of leader-ship, demonstrating a commitment to excellence. Yet, in light of these acknowledgements, Norm remained an enigma, maintaining a self-effacing profile outside of the lacrosse arena. One of the highest accolades came from Jack Emmer, the current Army coach. "Norm Webb was the proudest human being with whom I have ever been associated. He was proud to be a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy-he was proud to have been an Army lacrosse player, and had tremendous pride in serving his country. I am humbled to call Norm Webb a friend." Many will remember Norm from two of his favorite habits-a pinch to the mid section, accompanied by the greeting "How's morale?" Norm's record of achievement stands equal to his care for others. Whoever encountered Norm took away a memory that this man exemplified not only the warrior spirit, but also the highest sense of personal integrity. Norm's legacy will live on, and we are fortunate to have experienced his spirit in Vail, and in,so many other ways, through the sport of lacrosse. -Mike Gottleib at(p 95, 0 l?

From its Native American roots played as an alternative to war to 45,000 screaming ' fans at the NCAA Final Four, the evo- lution of our great sport has brought it a long way. But the game has always been steeped in tradition. Everyone in lacrosse knows what #22 means to Syracuse or the name of Johns Hopkins' home field. Even the Tewaaraton Award, given yearly to the top male and female collegiate player in the country, pays homage to the game's past. Take a look at helmet and stick technol- ogy over the past fifteen years for proof of our game's. evolution. In 1999, there was essentially one choice for helmets and nearly everyone wore that style. Fast for- ward to the 2005 Final Four, where three different helmet manufacturers were repre- sented on the field. As with any sport or institution that evolves, there invariably becomes a rift between those who prefer newness and change and those who liked it better the way it was. You could call it the Traditionalists vs. the Revolutionaries. In politics, it's Conservatives vs. Liberals. For those who like a good Star Wars analogy, it's Imperialists vs. Separatists. Old School vs. New School. It's an age-old debate in all walks of life, including our sport of lacrosse. On the one hand, you've got the "Old Schoolers." The guys who wore old bucket helmets and leather pads. Guys who used straight sticks, wooden shafts and didn't know the meaning of a short-stick defensive midfielder because all middies played both ways. Then you've got the "New Schoolers." Their equipment looks like something bor- rowed from NASA. Their talent is often measured by how many stick tricks they can pull and how fast they can shoot, not to mention all the "sick" new lingo they've introduced into lacrosse-speak. So, let's hear from both sides. Old School vs. New School: Lacrosse Style. Think of it as a clash of culture within a culture. Trent Nielsen will be taking the side of the new while Alex Smith will champion the old. For lack of a better term, let's face it off! "OLD SCHOOL" ALEX: Speaking of face-offs, one thing that I will give to the New School is that our modern style of tak- ing draws is much better than the old way. We call it "The Little Brother of War" for a reason and a good old-fashioned battle at the face-off "x" at the start of games and after goals certainly embodies that. Two warriors kneel across a line and use their various weapons of choice to disarm and outsmart their opponent while reinforce- ments race in ready to frantically fight for the loose ball. Beautiful! "OLD SCHOOL" TRENT: It's hard not to love that. Very poetic description from a goaltender too! ALEX: What do you expect? I went to school for English! Anyway, let's start our debate with stick technology. Frankly, all the offset and canted heads are creating ter- rible habits for our youngsters just picking up the game. To borrow an argument from Bill Tierney, learning to throw with an off- set head takes away certain fundamental qualities that all lacrosse players need, such as getting the stick head from ear to ear and keeping it close to the body for protection. Groundball work is affected too. With the old style of stick, a player really had to con- centrate on the little things that make good lacrosse players great. Now, these players are taught lazy habits like hanging the stick because that's the only way they can get the ball out. Not only that, _,_ but the today's YOU COul sticks are getting to the point where it is Tradition nearly impossible for a well-placed Revolutional check to dislodge itS COnsf the ball. All the sticks are pinched I Liberals.FOl and angled to help the ball carrier at all a.,good Star V costs. I'm talking about sticks straight Imper, - alists out of the factory, Old SChoolA too; forget what the players do when they get them home. Short of bludgeoning your opponent to death without mercy, how are you sup- posed to make takeaway checks? Not only is this an unfair advantage for the offense, but it is dangerous because players are forced to go to extreme measures to get the ball on the ground. Player safety needs to be a high priority, especially at the younger levels. TRENT: Right. But while stick develop- ment has changed some of the-fundamen- tals of the game it's also helped take it in new directions. The same tendencies that kids are picking up because of progressive stick technology also make the game more inviting to beginner players. Not to say that proper technique and ball protection are obsolete, because only the newbies that master those skills are going to be able to set themselves apart in the sport. But while offset heads may make 60 kids feel like John Christmas dancing through checks, there are probably only five or so of them that really grasp the needed techniques to truly succeed in the game. On top of that, you can bake the heads and modify the pockets all you want, but if the ball doesn't roll out when tested by a referee it's illegal and that will never change. Now don't get me wrong, I completely agree that the laxers of yesterday had to know their stick and its limits in order to fight for an open shot. If you think about it, all it's done to the game is force the defense to progress with the offense. If that hadn't been the case then defensemen like Hopkins' Tom Garvey and Georgetown's Brodie Merrill wouldn't be the stars that they are today. Aside from the nor- ! calf it the mal allotment of blowouts in this !lists vs. the " year's NCAA tour- nament there were ies.In- politics, . plenty of defensive rvatives vs. games that show- cased the organized those Who like backlines of college lacrosse.

ALEX: Okay, so in the "New School," aggressive and offensive-minded stick tech- nology has a direct correlation with the development of defensive schemes, I can buy that.

Several significant redevelopments are in various stages of completion, including the Arrabelle at Vail Square by Vail Resorts Development Company, which will bring new life and vitality to LionsHead. In Vail Village, the redeveloped Tivoli Lodge is preparing for a grand opening soon and two additional lodge properties, One Willow Bridge Road and an expansion of the Sonnenalp Bavaria Haus, are being readied for a Christmas '05 opening. In all, more than a Billion Dollars is being invested in Vail's renewal to provide the accommodations and experiences you've come to expect from us year after year. We invite you to visit these project sites and share in our excitement. While the "New Vail" will bring exciting changes to our community, one of our most cherished qualities in Vail is our family-friendly environment and high level of safety and security. To ensure these qualities are never compromised, we have called upon our Police Department to implement a public safety campaign to help our guests and residents make safe and responsible decisions. The campaign includes strict enforcement of Colorado's drinking laws (must be 21 and over) and a late-night curfew (for ages 17 and under) during the July Fourth holiday. We'll also be asking participants to leave their lacrosse sticks in their rooms before heading into the Village or LionsHead to enjoy an evening outing. This will be the fifth year for the safety campaign and we've appreciated the support we've received previously from the coaches, players and organizers of the tournament. We look forward to your assistance again this year in helping to spread the word about Vail's commitment to providing a family-friendly atmosphere where our guests and residents, and their children and grandchildren, feel safe and secure. Please use the tips on the accompanying pages to help make the most of your stay. On behalf of all of us at the Town of Vail, we wish you an enjoyable stay and most importantly, a safe return home.

I am sure that question crosses all of our minds to different degrees during. the course of the year. I do know some of what started it. In late 1969 or early 1970 my brother, Jim, came back from college with something for me, a lacrosse stick. It could have been a prehistoric tennis racket for all I knew. I marveled at the USNA branded on the han- dle. A one-piece stick strung with cat-gut on the sidewall. I was hooked. His next visit home brought a goalie stick and the game was on. We would play for hours in the backyard and luckily never break a window on our house. The neighbor's garage was another matter. I also did not know you could hit a "cup" hard enough to crack it. Better to give than to receive. His transfer to Colorado College opened the window to another world of lacrosse. Taking the bus to Colorado Springs from Denver at the age of 10 to ballboy at CC lacrosse games was my perfect world. Coach Doc Stabler paid me 50 cents a game. Trying to drag the snow off the field for an early spring game using "borrowed" gym mats pulled behind his old Ford pick-up truck is forever etched in my mind. I would become friends with him and many other wonderful people during those seasons. I learned to throw the ball with a curve and string sticks from our friend, Flip. Suffice it to say that no man has greater passion and pure love for this sport. Whenever I had more than one stick, I had to pass one on to a friend to have some- one to play with. The first family I infected were the O'Farrells. If you are going to pass something on, it is a good idea to give it to people with large families and even bigger hearts. To this day Brian suffers from that ... THE STICK gift which has led him here to serve 25 years in hard labor. 1976, or so my decaying T-shirt and fad- ing memory tells me, was my first year at the tournament, in Aspen. Jim, Flip and some other renegades had started the gathering a few years earlier that grew into what we now call the "Shootout." My recollection of the Aspen days is one field and pool parties at the Jerome Hotel. I fondly remember one of the rare high school lacrosse referees of that era, Mr. Bob Mauney. He and his lovely wife would always sit on the hill overlooking the main field in Vail. They always made sure to open up their cooler and make Brian and I sandwiches when they were needed the most. Today she sits alone, but is still here. I miss him and my other "Vail" friends so much. It is easy to bond with someone when you see them every year for an extended period of time in such a beautiful place. Some friends are no longer able to attend for various and assorted reasons. A nod to some who come to mind: Ralph Davy, Bruce Allison and, of course, Earl Bill. This year, the one that hurts the most is the loss of our father, James Jr. Going back into coaching lacrosse with my children has enabled me to see so many of my former teammates and friends now filling the roles of fathers and mothers coaching or giving their time back to the sport. The number of sons or daughters of referee's following in footsteps was quite impressive. The memories of my last 30 years here are too many to detail, but here are a few I can share: The five overtime championship game on the Athletic field. The 25th annual celebration, (we were sup- posed to stop after that year). Snow on the 4th of July. Flash Cadillac at the Ice Arena. President Ford giving out the championship trophy. The Secret Service letting him. Brian and Jim making crucial decisions in the gro- cery store. A lot of rainbows over the valley. When an event of this girth gets going it's best to jump on or get the heck out of the way. I would have to compare it to being conscripted into the army of a distant country. Relatively few members of our families have escaped serving time here. This year a new batch of sons, daughters, nephews, nieces and friends will give their time to be a part of this celebration. To them and all the other peo- ple behind the scenes, I say "Thank You". This event has touched our lives in so many won- derful ways. To this day many of my closest friends are those with whom I have shared this game of lacrosse. For us it has been more than a sport, it is a passion. It is contagious and there is no cure! I thank the Native Americans for giving us this game as a symbol of spirit, sportsmanship, and togetherness. We continue to gather at the foot of the Gore Range to spend time with each other for a reason. Why am I here? Because of you. I hope a part of you is here for me too. I do not know how much longer it will go on, but please take this stick and pass it on to the next generation with the care and integrity it deserves. You never know how long you will get to hold it.
