Laxachusetts Lacrosse is beyond excited to add Bill Daye to the LXC Coaching Staff. Not only is "BD" an incredible coach but he is even a better friend to so many in our LXC Lacrosse Family.

BD was also Boston Cannons teammate with Coach Evans, Coach Glass and Coach Battista. He was also the Boston Cannons Head Coach when Coach Morris, Coach Reid and Coach Murphy played for the Cannons. Its so incredible to have all of these guys back together working to help our boys follow their dreams in this great sport of Lacrosse. 

Just a huge addition to our amazing coaching staff and we are so excited to have Coach Daye join our program for the 2019/2020 season and beyond.
