Founded by Saskatoon Box Lacrosse founder Randy Trobak, the website is a news and video content provider containing information to educate, empower and expose lacrosse to a worldwide audience. News, interviews, roundtables and professional analyses are several columns that Lacrosse Link will feature.

“If you’re looking for something you’ll want to find (in lacrosse), you may see something you never thought you’d be interested in, “ said Stamp. “It’s a way to have a community and to have connections made.”

Trobak recruited Stamp to launch Lacrosse Link and first introduced the idea back at the 2017 Founders’ Cup in Saskatoon, Sask.

Stamp hosted the first episode which featured Sean Aggus, commissioner of the Junior A Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League and Karl Christiansen, commissioner of the BC Junior A Lacrosse League about the 2021 season that premiered on Monday.

“We got good feedback from the first video,” said Stamp. “It was gratifying to see that people were happy to see me involved.”

The show has several guests lined up for future broadcasts and has quickly gained recognition from high-profile lacrosse figures according to Stamp.

“People are excited to be a part of it,” he exclaimed. “It’s really fun to see how it’s starting out and I think it’ll be really neat to see where it goes.”

Lacrosse Link is also hosted by former National Lacrosse League broadcaster Tanner Fetch. He met Stamp during the 2017 Founders’ Cup and were broadcast partners for the championship event.
