Good morning, and Happy Halloween. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:

1. The Lacrosse Communities Project is one of the coolest things US Lacrosse has ever been a part of bringing to the sport. Our November cover story focuses on our efforts in the Ohio City neighborhood of Cleveland, where we’ve helped install a new mini-field and provided additional resources to help the sport take root.

2. Notre Dame's Ryder Garnsey considered leaving the program, but made a decision to come back. That, coupled with a strong recruiting class, will lead to a deep Irish roster in 2018.

3. Canada’s national team players have formed the National Lacrosse Teams Players’ Association to have a voice in Canadian Lacrosse Association decisions, and to assist the country's national governing body in its efforts to grow the sport.

4. Team USA faceoff athlete Greg Gurenlian, a proud alum of Penn State, lost a bet with Ohio State (and gold-medal winning 2016 U.S. U19 team) coach Nick Myers on the two schools’ football game last weekend. Gurenlian wore scarlet and gave a half-hearted O-H-I-O chant, but we were most happy to see him looking good wearing his Team USA hat.

WHAT WE’RE READING

• Former Yale player Joseph Tsai recently made waves in the lacrosse world with his purchase of the National Lacrosse League expansion franchise, the San Diego Seals. His sports interest apparently isn’t ending there. Tsai is apparently set to purchase a major stake in the National Basketball Association’s Brooklyn Nets.

• The Medicine Game is helping to improve fitness and health for a Native American group in Minnesota.

• Head impact sensors are a tool to be used in understanding concussions in sports, but the data can be misleading without full context according to a recent article. We wrote about this in greater detail in January.

• The U.S. Olympic Committee has unveiled a “Quality Coaching Framework” to help improve coaching nationwide.

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING

Some great highlights from the Nicholas Collelouri Classic, and a reminder of the inspiration behind the HEADstrong Foundation.
