Winter Skills 2025/2026
Here's a little information about our winter coach:
Eric Buttke is our new winter training coach. Currently, Coach Eric is a sophomore at UW-L majoring in business with a minor in cybersecurity. He started playing lacrosse in kindergarten and continued to play throughout high school. Prior to high school, he played with club lacrosse teams in the summer along with his local youth lax association in Mahtomedi, MN. Coaching was an easy addition for him and he started coaching his younger brother's U12 team when he was a freshman in high school. Eric's coaching resume includes youth: training sessions (U6-U14), league (fall, spring & winter - mainly U12-U14), box lacrosse (U12-U14), private lessons (U8-U14) along with this past year adding high school training sessions and coaching a JV spring tournament. Eric looks forward to meeting our lacrosse community and getting to know the youth players!
