2012 Boston Cannons Media Guide
2012 Media Guide About Major League Lacrosse BACKGROUND: During the summer of 1998, Jake “Body By Jake” Steinfeld was inspired to start a professional outdoor lacrosse league after reading a magazine article about the growth of the sport of lacrosse. Steinfeld sought out a contributor to the article, Owner and President of Warrior Lacrosse Dave Morrow, a leading lacrosse equipment manufacturer, to discuss formation of such a league. In February 1999 Steinfeld and Morrow joined forces with Steinfeld’s friend and business associate Tim Robertson, Chairman of Bay Shore Enterprises and former CEO of the Family Channel, to form Major League Lacrosse, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company. In 2003, New Balance Athletic Shoe Inc. came on board as a Founding Member of Major League Lacrosse, as well as an Anchor Level League Sponsor. Major League Lacrosse began play in 2001 to capitalize on the growing demand for world-class field lacrosse driven by dramatic growth in the U.S. lacrosse market. The MLL was praised and heralded for its on-field play, regarded as the best ever seen. With a year-on-year attendance increase, Major League Lacrosse has continued to lead the sport of lacrosse into the mainstream of competitive team sports. OUR TEAMS: MLL is comprised of eight teams across the US and Canada. The Boston Cannons, Long Island Lizards, and Chesapeake Bayhawks (formerly Baltimore and Washington) have been members of the League since its inception in 2001. The Denver Outlaws began play in 2006 as part of the League’s western expansion. The Hamilton Nationals (formerly Toronto) joined MLL in 2009 as the League’s first international team.

In 2017, the Campbell Alumni Award Is Presented to Greg Gurenlian (Number 32), Springfield High School Class of 2002
Springfield Lacrosse has a rich tradition of elite players. Every year, our Boys Program honor exceptional alumni by having the entire program wear that player’s name and number on its shooting shirts. In its inaugural year (2014), SCLC recognized #22 ‐ Greg Campbell. Due to Greg’s impact on Springfield’s most accomplished players, SCLC decided to permanently refer to this honor as the “Campbell Alumni Award” presented to alumni who exemplify “Springfield Pride” and continuously support and give back to the Springfield Lacrosse Community. In 2017, the Campbell Alumni Award is presented to Greg Gurenlian (number 32), Springfield High School Class of 2002. The story of Greg Gurenlian’s lacrosse career started when he asked his father to buy him a lacrosse stick a few days before Christmas. That stick sat in the corner of his room for several years until the fall of 8th grade when he and his dad happened upon a lacrosse practice on their way to a travel soccer game. When his dad asked Greg what they were doing with the football helmets and sticks Greg explained to him “That’s lacrosse!” That night they discussed it, decided to let him play, and signed him up for Springfield AA lacrosse in the spring. It wasn’t an easy road for Greg. He was assigned to the A2 team with kids who had more years of experience. He really struggled at first and didn’t get many passes thrown his way. His dad asked if he really wanted to do this. Greg’s response – “This is going to make me a better player” and every day he worked hard in the backyard shooting and running.
