"One of my primary duties will be to help Coach Ryan Danehy '06 with alumni relations. Our first task is to build a comprehensive lacrosse alumni database, and to help us do this, one of the things we have been doing is going through all of the DCAD archives and compiling all of the lacrosse records, including rosters and every game record for every year since 1926, the year men's lacrosse began at Dartmouth. Reading the records has been incredibly fascinating, and reinforces what a great history the program has. Our feeling is that there are many alumni who would welcome more contact and involvement with the program.

The current coaching staff is committed to taking Dartmouth Men's Lacrosse to the next level; we are already competitive with some of the great programs in the country. As alums, we are all part of a wonderful tradition of lacrosse at Dartmouth and we welcome your participation, support and ideas. Please feel free to get in touch." – Star Johnson ‘70
