Connor Kirst is the captain of the Las Vegas Desert Dogs. He has been a leader in every sense of the world, both on and off the floor.

He is one of the rare Americans who has ever been a captain of an American National Lacrosse League team. What an incredible honor to have for a guy and a family that has given so much to the beautiful game of lacrosse both in the box and on the field.

Enjoy the in-depth conversation with Captain Kirst. We chatted about everything from his history playing box to being named captain of the Desert Dogs to his brother CJ Kirst of Cornell University helping to raise money for CityLax through their #GBSFORNYC initiative.
