Join Stealth Standout & Skyline Spartan Coach Hartzell at the Key!!

A message from Kyle Hartzell and Kyle Sorenson of your Washington Stealth...

IYL Players, Parents and Friends

We've had an amazing season! In our first year in Washington, we won our division and earned the #1 seed in the NLL playoffs. We beat the Minnesota Swarm in the first round on Saturday, and now we're getting ready to take on Edmonton in the semi-finals. As players, we feed off of the energy you've been giving us all year by your awesome support at Comcast Arena. And this Saturday, our game comes to KEY ARENA in Seattle for the first-ever professional lacrosse game at The Key!

Making this year even better for us has been the close relationship we have developed with Issaquah Youth Lacrosse and Skyline Lacrosse Club. We have truly enjoyed working with the players, coaches and parents of these great programs this year. We thank you for your support and hospitality, and we really appreciate that we have had the chance to work along side the coaches to help build lacrosse in the greater Issaquah area this season.

We would love to see all of you at The Key this Saturday. Plan to come and cheer us on to victory and the NLL finals! Pack The Key on Saturday and make it ROCK!

Skyline Lacrosse 2010 Season Opens Tonight!! Be There!!!

Tonight Skyline Lacrosse kicks off its 2010 season with its first league games, against Northshore. JV game starts at 6:15; varsity at 8:00; both games are in the stadium at Skyline.

Northshore is an important early matchup for the Spartans. Picked to finish 5th in Division I by West Side Lax (http://www.westsidelax.com/
Washington-High-School-Boys-Lacrosse-Association-2010-Division-I-
Preview), Northshore is led by brothers Taylor Wisman and Foster Wisman, both picked as pre-season all-state candidates (http:// www.whsbla.org/Sunday%20Stroll/2010%20Stroll/2010%20DI%20Preview.htm). Taylor (no.11) is a do-everything senior middie who finished in the top four in goals (second), points (fourth) and ground balls (third) in the division last year. Foster (no. 22) is also a middie, and as a sophomore last year had 42 points and 27 ground balls while missing two games to injury. Senior attackman Jake Dosett (no. 19) is another scoring threat, with 35 points last year. Coach Steve Wisman was the 2008 coach of the year, when Northshore won the Division II title. In 2009, Northshore finished sixth in their first year in Divison I, just ahead of the seventh place Spartans. In their only matchup, Northshore defeated Skyline 15-7. Northshore did have some significant graduation losses and several players also moved to the new Woodinville Division II program which started up this year.

Come cheer the Spartans on to victory tonight! Rain or shine!

Everett Hearld Online Poll - WA LAC WIAA Sactioned? Vote!

The Everett Hearld's online site HearldNet is conducting an online poll and the topic is dear to Washington laxer's hearts: Should the WIAA add Lacrosse as a Sanctioned Sport?

Let's get out the Lacrosse community and make our voices heard ! Click here to vote in the HearldNet Readers Poll.Lacrosse proponents have repeatedly brought WIAA sanctioning to a vote only to have the fastest growing sport in Washington (and America) shown the door. This year their are two Lacrosse proposals before the WIAA Representative Assembly. One to add Lacrosse for girls at the middle school and high school level, and a second to add Lacrosse for boys at these same levels. The WIAA Assembly will vote on these proposals when they meet on April 23.

Vote in the HearldNet Poll and help create a data exclamation point!

If you would like to learn more about Lacrosse and the WIAA, take a look at the excellent piece created by the Washington High School Boys Lacrosse Association: Why Isn't Boy's Lacrosse a WIAA Sanctioned Sport?
