In this episode, we interview former Tufts lacrosse/hockey player and current Syracuse lacrosse player, Mason Kohn.
We discuss his unconventional hockey career, where he began as a 10 year old, which is typically a later start to hockey. He progressed slowly in the early years, always being one of the under developed players. That is until he reached junior hockey where he quickly rose through the ranks, eventually getting drafted to the USHL.
Despite his quickly advancing hockey career, he ended up at Tufts University where he struggled to find self confidence after committing D3. He overcame his ego and found purpose in playing for the guy next to him. Now, he has the opportunity to prolong his lacrosse career at D1 Syracuse University.
