Graeme Hossack is the best player you don’t know much about! The Whitby, ON native grew up playing 90% box lacrosse (as most Canadians do) and his box training has made him into one of the best players in the world. The 3x NLL Defensive Player of the Year and 1x PLL Defenseman of the year just won another PLL Championship and is the epitome of what a great defender does!
He’s incredible off the ground, in transition and the clearing game. As a cover guy he’s surgical with his stick in terms of gaining leverage through his holds and he can take it away. He’s fearless in soaking shots, which is something he’s learned from box as well!
Off ball he not only plays great team defense, he has a knack for bone crushing hits.
If you’re a you defender, play as much box lacrosse or small net games and it will be the best thing for your game! Playing defense is as much about have a great stick as playing offense!
