John Grant Jr.—the Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky of lacrosse—is returning to the Peterborough Lakers for his swan song.
After taking last year off because of work commitments in Denver where he plays for the National Lacrosse League, the 41-year-old wanted to return this summer for one final season to help get the Lakers to the Mann Cup and host it in his hometown of Peterborough.
Grant has been playing in the Lakers system since he was four years old.

"I am extremely excited to have another opportunity to step back on the floor for the Lakeshow this summer,” Grant Jr. says.

“I will give everything that I have left to help this team win lacrosse games," Grant Jr. says. "I want to thank the organization for giving me the honor to represent my beloved hometown one last time and I will cherish every last moment."
