Mike Gabel enjoyed a successful lacrosse goalie career playing at the University of Vermont where he ranked in the top-3 in every career statistical category.
An America East All-Conference First Team selection in 2003, he was a two-time team defensive MVP during his career.
He then took his talents to professional lacrosse where he played for 10 years!
Oh and unlike most dominate lacrosse goalies I’ve had on the podcast, Gabel didn’t start playing goalie until his sophomore year of high school.
Think about that for a second the next time anyone is asking whether its too late to start playing lacrosse or too late to switch to the goalie position.

Lacrosse is my passion! The game has given me so much and this blog is my way of giving back to the lax community. Specifically the most bad a$$ part of that community - the goalies! After learning to play goalie from scratch, I wanted to create a site where I could share what I learned with others so they too can become champions in the crease and in life.
