Congratulations to Mr. Tavares but one record does not make a resume and until he can match Gait's extraordinary career accomplishments, Gait will remain the only lacrosse player referred to as "legendary" by the press and will remain the best player ever to have played the game. For the record, Gait has has won every major collegiate, professional, and international championship in the sport during his career. In addition to his three NCAA championships with the SU Orange, Gait has won three NLL titles (1991, 1994-95), three MLL titles (2001-02, 2005), three Mann Cups (1991, 1997, 1999), which are awarded to the senior men's lacrosse champions of Canada, the Heritage Cup (2004), which goes to the winner of the international box lacrosse tournament every two years, and the International Lacrosse Federation (ILF) World Championship (2006). As coach Gait has numerous championships NLL (2006), MLL (2002 and 2005), and he won seven NCAA women's national titles while assisstant at Maryland (1995-2001). Andrew, really.
