Max Adler (lacrosse)

Max Adler is an Israeli-American professional lacrosse player who works as a faceoff specialist. A native of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, he attended Northfield Mount Hermon School and first meant to wrestle in college, but injuries stopped that, and he played lacrosse for the first time as a freshman at Bentley University. He walked on as the fifth faceoff specialist on the Division II team, worked his way into a starting role and finished as a two-time Division II All-American. Drafted by the Denver Outlaws of Major League Lacrosse, he helped them win the 2018 Steinfeld Trophy and in 2019 set an MLL record by winning 95.83 percent of his faceoffs in one game. He later joined Chaos Lacrosse Club in the Premier Lacrosse League and the Buffalo Bandits of the National Lacrosse League, and he has represented Israel at the World Lacrosse Championship.
