With his long stride and familiar gait, it's hard to miss Robert Hope on a lacrosse floor. He also gets loud and takes it as a compliment like any good defender should.
He's an NLL champion, World champion, multiple Mann Cup champion and one of the longest serving captains in the NLL today. He's been one of the league's best defenders for a decade.
He's also the head coach of the Peterborough Junior A Lakers, a role he took to give back to the community that's given him so much.
On this episode we ponder "are the Mammoth back?" After going to back-to-back NLL Finals, the Mammoth missed the post season for the first time in Hope's career last season. What does this refreshed group need to do to find success again and what hard lessons were learned.
We talk about Sidney Crosby, the importance of constant improvement and how that differs from improving as a coach and a player.
I always thought Hopey was Captain Serious on and off the floor but he really brings an energetic intensity that's pretty contagious.
