After many months of hard
work, the video, celebrating the history of
Irondequoit Lacrosse made its "World
Debut" at Irondequoit High School
tonight.
Restaurant owner and movie producer, Howard Nielsen
spent two years to produce the
documentary which focuses on the Irondequoit
program but is very much a story
about Upstate New York and Monroe County Lacrosse.
"Take a trip
back in time and witness the start of high school
lacrosse
in upstate New York by way of Irondequoit High
School's legendary
program. Witness firsthand 50 years of lacrosse
history, including the
fierce rivalry between coaches Ernie Lisi of
Irondequoit and Joe
Corcoran of Corning East, whose teams dominated
upstate New York in
the 1970s."
"Irondequoit
lacrosse teams have won 28 championship titles
and have
produced 30 High School All-Americans, plus a
long list of college
lacrosse coaches. Its alumni include such legends
as Jeff Long (Navy
and Team USA), Paul Cantabene (MLL Baltimore
Jay hawks), Andrew Whipple
(Maryland), and Joe Walters (Maryland and Team
USA)."
"This full-length documentary
includes rare
archival footage, photos, articles, and stories
from players and
coaches, past and present. See clips from the
first NCAA championship
title in 1971, Cornell vs. Maryland! Plus, a
tribute to one of
Lacrosse's true greats, Eamon McEneaney, who
tragically lost his life
on 9/11."
