I grew up in Ladner, and I wear that with pride. But whatever Four Winds-drinking, potato-munching, flatland patriotism I can muster is nothing compared to Logan Schuss. I’ve watched him grow up. I even played a bit of lacrosse with his older brother, Carlton, and Logan was always there. Thursday night Pioneer games, Friday night Junior A games, mid-week Intermediate B, Peewee, Novice, or Tyke at Ladner Arena—Logan Schuss was just always there. From the time he was 10, we all knew he was going places. And that place ended up being The Ohio State University on a field lacrosse scholarship—something that didn’t happenmuch around here. Then came the 1st overall draft pick in the NLL, Rookie of the Year, 10 successful seasons and over 500 pro points as a deceptive shooter. Later, he became a body-banger, but always an amazing teammate. A couple of summers ago, Logan took over as the General Manager of the Junior A Delta Islanders. And when it came time to find a new coach this offseason? He hired himself. It was a no-brainer. Logan is the guy to take this team to the next level. The guy who’s already raised the bar and shown the world what a Ladner lacrosse player can accomplish is now going to do it for the next generation. The organization is in great hands, and I can’t wait to see what he does with this team. I think we’ll see a different side of Logan on this podcast. He’s one of the lightest, most loveable dudes in the game, buthe’s also a thoughtful and intelligent leader. He’s taking this role seriously, and I know he’ll build the Junior Islanders into a powerhouse. The rink rat from the flatlands is on Coaches Calls.
