Author’s Note: Ray Carnicelli has run Lax904.com for a number of years and he recently posted an interview with the four JU Men’s captains this year: Chase McIntyre, Ryan Beville, McLean Chicquen and Max Hartong. I think you’ll find it an interesting and fun read. The photos are from Brice York for the Lax904 web site. By the way McLean, if you read this . . . never forget this author is a RABID NY Islanders fan . . .Excerpt: Lax904: When did you first hear of Jacksonville University and what were your first thoughts about playing college lacrosse in Florida? Max Hartong: I played on the same club team (Burning River) as Josh Kuehn in high school and JU was checking in on Josh at a tournament. The JU coaching staff saw me play and contacted me shortly thereafter. Since Josh was already committed and had visited he was a great resource for info about JU. I was immediately excited about coming down. What could be better than D1 lacrosse in Florida? Ryan Beville: I first heard about JU when they emailed me the summer after my sophomore year. My first thought was how awesome it would be to play Division 1 lacrosse in warm weather, near the beach, and against some of the top teams in the country for 4 years, especially to join a new program and help build a bright future.
