After many months of hard work, the video, celebrating the history of Irondequoit Lacrosse made its "World Debut" at Irondequoit High School tonight.
Restaurant owner and movie producer, Howard Nielsen spent two years to produce the documentary which focuses on the Irondequoit program but is very much a story about Upstate New York and Monroe County Lacrosse.
"Take a trip back in time and witness the start of high school lacrosse in upstate New York by way of Irondequoit High School's legendary program. Witness firsthand 50 years of lacrosse history, including the fierce rivalry between coaches Ernie Lisi of Irondequoit and Joe Corcoran of Corning East, whose teams dominated upstate New York in the 1970s."
"Irondequoit lacrosse teams have won 28 championship titles and have produced 30 High School All-Americans, plus a long list of college lacrosse coaches. Its alumni include such legends as Jeff Long (Navy and Team USA), Paul Cantabene (MLL Baltimore Jay hawks), Andrew Whipple (Maryland), and Joe Walters (Maryland and Team USA)."
"This full-length documentary includes rare archival footage, photos, articles, and stories from players and coaches, past and present. See clips from the first NCAA championship title in 1971, Cornell vs. Maryland! Plus, a tribute to one of Lacrosse's true greats, Eamon McEneaney, who tragically lost his life on 9/11."
