The Premier Lacrosse League held its Championship Series outside of Salt Lake City last summer, but its impact could be felt more than 2,000 miles away.
Especially when Joe Nardella was on the field.
Nardella may have grown up outside Syracuse, N.Y., and played collegiately at Rutgers, but he’s become as much of the greater Boston lacrosse fabric as anyone, not just as a former Cannons and Boston Box Lacrosse League player, and college assistant coach, but through his Faceoff Factory, which is teaching the next generation of players.
Many of those players were watching on TV as he led Whipsnakes LC to its second straight Premier Lacrosse League championship in August, winning a league-best 72 percent of his faceoffs and cementing his case as one of the game's best players.
