What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

He loves the ability to grow with the game. He enjoys helping his younger brothers learn the sport of lacrosse. He likes playing on a team so he can support his teammates while they support him too.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Tobys professional lacrosse idol is #17 Robert Church with the Saskatchewan Rush. His local idols are his uncles who both played as goalies in the minor league and now help coach the minor divisions. He also looks to his mom for support and inspiration becaaue she also played lacrosse but as a player.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

The moment that makes me the proudest is when we got the diagnosis of epilepsy and the first thing he asked the doctor was "can I still play?" His heart for the sport is the biggest thing on him. He has made some great defensive plays and has grown on offense too!
