John LaFontaine has plenty to be happy about right now.
The Whitby Warriors captain is about to embark down another road in his career path as a member of the National Lacrosse League's Edmonton Rush.
A fourth-round selection of the team in the 2010 draft, LaFontaine will make his NLL debut this weekend when the Rush open the 2011 season at the Air Canada Centre against the Toronto Rock.
And to say he is thrilled about the opportunity might be an understatement.
"I've been replaying this in my head a lot, walking on the floor, a bunch of people screaming, tons of fans. I have no idea what to expect, but I am excited for it," said LaFontaine, who is planing to move to Edmonton for the season. "It feels pretty unreal, tough to put into words for sure. You watch these guys on TV since you've started playing lacrosse and now you're playing with them."
