How did the transfers do?. I was hoping to get to Shuart but couldn't.

Cattoni may have called a second audible and returned to Canada to play CIS Field is my guess. My understanding is those that play CIS in the fall can play pro box and not loose eligibility at CIS Universities. Not sure what happened there. He was reportedly headed to Onondaga then made a turn south to L.I & committed to Hofstra. He's not listed on roster either of course at this point. Did he go the CIS route or will he show up in the spring at Hofstra?

I don’t believe Cattoni would be eligible yet for the NLL, maybe next year, but one of the other pro / senior leagues, sure.

There was a guy, enrolled at Queens U I believe and he did play NLL at the same time, but he was either a junior or senior at Queens.

This is one of the reasons IMO some very good Canadians don’t even bother treking south to attend NCAA schools.

Yes. CUFLA (Ontario and Quebec college league) players can play in NLL as well. Makes sense since they play in the fall and lacrosse isn't sanctioned by U Sports which is like their NCAA, but many schools have it as a varsity sport anyway (ie. McGill).

Only one transfer, SSDM Sean Paton, played. He held his own.

Chris Boushy is one of these.
Drafted while still at Queens University.

Cattoni I read somewhere, is actually 21.
So he may now be eligible for the NLL draft.

Regardless, the Dutch presumably filled that spot with a real monster, Ryan Brind-Sheridan. A box player only as far as I know.

think it would be a nice touch if coach D , his former coach, could bring the blue devils up to play in the tournament

There will be one more chance to watch Hofstra this week when the Dutch host Keio University from Japan Friday, Oct. 11, at 7 p.m.

One of KU's M line dodging drills at Mitchell Field before the scrimmage at HU last night? ...

[Nassaufan]

Caught the first half of the scrimmage vs. Japan's Keio University Friday night. Cold and windy at the Dutch Dome. Ten of Hofstra's 12 first-half goals were assisted. I hope to see more passing by the Dutch next spring.

Any word on how Sykes or Brind-Sheridan are doing?

[hofpride]

hofstra may have to do a little houdini act to take the CAA. Houdini for a time used trap doors in every act . It was a stage he was going through

Sykes did not play vs. Navy and Lehigh. Sheridan got a few minutes.

Hofstra has updated its roster with bios and photos of returning and new players:

https://gohofstra.com/sports/mens-lacrosse/roster

Several freshmen and transfers played sparingly or not at all in the fall. It will be interesting to see what they can contribute. Among the newcomers:

Three big Canadians: Ryan Brind-Sheridan, Ben Stewart and Justin Sykes. You can't have too many players from up north.

Two proven Garden City scorers: Kyle Steinbach (GC playoff MVP in 2018) and Liam Muldoon (GC leader in goals and assists in 2018).

Philip Pasmeg, a physical defenseman from two-time CT state champs St. Joseph in Fairfield.

Sam Lutfi of Massapequa, voted by the Nassau County HS coaches as attackman of the year, and Richie Hickis of Farmingdale, named SSDM of the year. Cooper Trepeta of Locust Valley, another LIer, showed quickness and a nice scoring touch in the fall scrimmages.

These are just a few names I noticed in skimming the bios.

Looking forward to the 2020 season, as are we all.

I thought the taite cantoni kid from Hopkins transferred in? I don’t see him on the roster?

[Nassaufan]

Nope. Vanished off the face of the Earth.
