The son of a celebrated lacrosse and basketball coach at Nassau 社区 College, Lou Candel starred in both sports while growing up on Long Island, eventually becoming a Division III All-America attackman in lacrosse and team captain in basketball at Amherst College. After graduation, his professional career took him to Wall Street, local arenas as a sports reporter for 《澳门银河官方赌场》, and back to Long Island as owner of the Ultimate Gaga event venue. 一直以来, he retained his ties to lacrosse as a youth coach, before taking over the 聚 boys’ program in 2017. Candel, who also coaches the boys’ JV basketball team, states that his main goal is “for this to be an experience for the kids to look back 20 years from now and remember the positive athletic experience they had and the friends they made.
Away from 聚, he serves as lacrosse director at Camp Wayne for Boys in Pennsylvania and is a board member of the Joe Lapchick 字符 Award Foundation.
As an athlete, Lou Candel
Our lacrosse teams practice and compete at the Steinberg Athletic Complex.
