Hockey Codes

Paul Gait, born April 5, 1967, is a Canadian lacrosse player and coach widely regarded as one of the best players of all time. With his twin brother Gary he starred as a midfielder at Syracuse University from 1987 to 1990, helping win three national championships, earning First Team All-American honors three times and taking the Most Outstanding Player award of the 1989 NCAA tournament. Syracuse later vacated its 1990 title after an NCAA ruling over a car loan co-signed for him. As a professional he played in the National Lacrosse League, Major League Lacrosse and the Western Lacrosse Association, won the 2002 NLL most valuable player award and three Mann Cup MVP awards, and entered the United States Lacrosse National Hall of Fame in 2005.
