Philadelphia might have lost its moniker as “The City of Brotherly Love.” That nickname now belongs to Boston. That is if you look at the roster for the Boston Cannons.
The lacrosse world has seen many sets of brothers make their way into professional lacrosse such as Gary and Paul Gait; Mike, Ryan, and Casey Powell; Jake and Jesse Bernhardt; and Lyle and Miles Thompson.
What makes the Cannons unique, however, is that there are three sets of brothers on the same team: Matt and Pat Kavanagh, Colin and Connor Kirst, and Chris and Pat Aslanian.
“Every coach, every program, every cliché thing you’ve ever heard is, ‘We’re a family. We’re brothers,’” head coach Brian Holman joked. “Yeah, well, we really are.”
