On Tuesday, June 28 Special Guest Coach Ty Thompson will attend Blue Star Princeton lacrosse camp! One of the biggest names in the sport right now, Ty will perform demos, run drills, and teach our players the skills and secret tricks of the trade!

Who is Ty Thompson?

If you don't have the answer to this question, then maybe you should do your research. For the last 7 years, the Thompson Trio of Lyle, Miles, and Ty have dominated the college and professional levels of lacrosse.  We are fortunate to have Ty coming to the Blue Star lacrosse camp in Princeton this year.

In college, Ty played on a line with his two cousins Ty and Lyle Thompson in what proved to be one of the most formidable and prolific attack lines in lacrosse history. He now plays professionally indoor for the Rochester Knighthawks, and outdoors professionally for the Rochester Rattlers. In addition he founded and runs Thomsonlax - he will have a lot of sweet gear at Blue Star Lacrosse princeton camp!

The Thompson Trio In College

Much of the Great Danes success in 2013 was centered around one family. Miles Thompson, Ty Thompson and Lyle Thompson (also known as the Thompson Trio), were a vital part of the Great Danes offense. Miles and Lyle are brothers, while Ty is their cousin (another brother, Jeremy Thompson played for Syracuse until 2011). All three were star recruits coming to UAlbany. The three were born in the Onondaga Nation, a nine-square-mile independent political entity recognized by the United States. Each of the Thompson's wore a traditional native hair style, with long braids that became their trademark on the field. The three also became known for their skills on the field, which involved trick passes and stick handling, behind the back shots, one handed shots and their quick agility.

In 2013, Ty Thompson would score 51 goals, Miles would score 42 and Lyle 46 goals going into the NCAA Tournament. The fourth leading scorers for the Great Danes, Will Fuller and John Maloney, had only 18 goals. Lyle Thompson would be the key factor for the Great Danes. The sophomore was vital in leading the No. 1 offense in the nation with 108 points through 17 games. 

In 2014, the Thompson's would continue their unbelievable play. Despite a shaky 9–5 regular season, the Great Danes would be the #1 overall seed in the America East Tournament.
