Ned Crotty grew up on the rink and dreamed of a career in hockey, but lacrosse came calling at Delbarton High School. He took his talents to Durham, where experienced the drama of the Duke lacrosse case, but also the thrill of a championship in 2010.

Crotty retired last week after winning two gold medals with the U.S. national team and plenty of success at the MLL and PLL levels. Amidst a career change, he sat down with Paul Carcaterra to walk through his journey from New Jersey to lacrosse stardom.
