Everyone knows the stories about some of the best NHL players in the game today being equally or even better at lacrosse. The two sports are very different, yet similar in some ways and clearly have a connection to each other.
That being said, the highlight reel goals we are accustomed to seeing in lacrosse are a lot different than in hockey.
Take this goal, for example from Everest Academy Lacrosse. It starts with a behind the back pass, which is certainly possible in hockey, but it ends with a behind the back goal with a major twist.
He behind the back bounced it over the goalie. Sorry, what?
Play of the year for sure, and heck, maybe even one of the best lacrosse goals you'll ever see.
