'Former' Teams[edit]

does this word really need to be before the teams' names? it is obvious he can't be playing for all those teams currently, and it is easy to interpret as their being 'former' teams, i.e., no longer extant.Toyokuni3 (talk) 04:45, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is okay as is, bit it is a function of the Template:Infobox Lacrosse Player. If you were to change to the field that is for current team then it would result in team as singular (Team), instead of plural (Teams). Template:Infobox Ice Hockey Player uses a "played_for" field for retired players (for Instance Gordie Howe). The lacrosse template would have to be updated to include this field.

Greatest[edit]

The claim that "Gary Charles Gait (b. April 5, 1967 in Victoria, British Columbia) is widely regarded as the best lacrosse player of all time, just above his twin brother Paul." is poorly sourced with only one of the cited articles making that claim. There is an open debate in the lacrosse community as to whether Gary Gait or Jim Brown are the best players in history, so the use of the phrase "widely regarded" is misleading and, quite frankly, woefully inaccurate. "Regarded by many," would be more appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.91.182.147 (talk) 17:04, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

gary gait re-retired[edit]

Gary Gait is re-retired since 2011, but his wiki page says until present for his pro career status.

This can be proven by the following link: http://www.ilindoor.com/2011/02/11/the-dirty-dozen-did-gary-gait-tarnish-his-lacrosse-legacy/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jjnst (talk • contribs) 01:11, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
