Laxon Lacrosse Club

• Team Contact: Heather Roffey 206 527-8621

• Team Bio: LAXON was formed in the fall of 1994 by Julie Poland (Western
  alum) and through the sponsorship of LAXON Lacrosse Outfitters (a now
  defunct lacrosse store). It was the second club team established in
  Seattle (Seattle Club was the first). The new team attracted UW and
  Western WA University graduates, a few East coast transplants, and
  several athletic newcomers. Due to the experience, athleticism, and
  enthusiasm of the group, LAXON quickly became and remains one of the top
  teams in the league. In April 1996, LAXON decided to test its skills
  outside of Washington State and competed at the Western States
  tournament in California. Additionally in the summer of 1996, several
  LAXON players and some of our Canadian friends joined together to
  compete at the Vail Shootout. Today LAXON, with the help of Alaska
  Airlines, makes it annual mecca to the sunny Western States tournament
  where the team is always a finals contender. We are always looking to
  return to Vail to defend our rollerblading/whitewater rafting title.
  Any outside interest?
• Team Philosophy: LAXON was created and continues to grow due to our
  love of lacrosse. Our team members enjoy cradling in the rain, setting
  picks in the mud, and singing on the long drives to Walla Walla.
  Several of our team members share their enthusiasm and talents by being
  actively involved in the youth organization (NWSGLA) as coaches and
  officials. Each summer since 1996, LAXON team members have also
  organized a summer league for players of all ages and levels of
  experience. LAXON always welcomes new players, both experienced and
  unexperienced.
