NEW YORK, N.Y. – Maverik Lacrosse is proud to announce a multi-year partnership with the University of Notre Dame men’s lacrosse team. With this agreement, Maverik is now the official lacrosse equipment supplier of the Fighting Irish. Notre Dame will receive custom designed Maverik gloves, shoulder pads and elbow guards. Additionally, they will have a vast arsenal of Maverik equipment to choose from including the new Spider 1 and Flight heads, as well as the Boost, H2 and Wonderboy shafts. Maverik will also provide the Irish with everything needed for on-field play from chest protectors to Maverik game balls.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Maverik for all our lacrosse equipment needs. Maverik has proven to be smart, innovative and committed to the growth of the game. Most importantly, I believe they are a great fit for us because we share the same values and goals for the sport and for our program. They are committed to helping us provide the best experience for our student-athletes,” says Notre Dame head coach Kevin Corrigan.
Notre Dame and Maverik both offer many online educational resources for coaches and players such as NDLAXTV and the Maverik University video series, which can be found on Maverik Film’s YouTube channel.
In recent years, Notre Dame has had tremendous success under the guidance of Coach Corrigan and his staff. Most notably in 2010, the Irish battled their way to the title game of the NCAA Championship. In 2011, Notre Dame ascended to the No. 1 national ranking for the first time in program history and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championship. All signs point to the Fighting Irish making an even bigger showing in 2012.
“Notre Dame is the most recognized university in the world because of its top academics and athletic department. Coach Corrigan has done an outstanding job building Notre Dame’s program into a title contender,” says John Gagliardi, President and founder of Maverik Lacrosse. “We are proud to be partners with an elite program like the Notre Dame lacrosse family.”
