Mikey Powell is the first professional lacrosse player that has been drafted by the organizers of the European Championships this year in Amsterdam. He is going to present his skills both on the field - playing for one of the festival teams - and outside of it leading clinics for all players and spectators willing to join.
Mikey is one of the most decorated lacrosse players in NCAA history in the last decade. A four-time First Team All-American at Syracuse University, Powell is the only player to win the Jack Turnbull Award as the top attackman in Division I lacrosse four consecutive times. Powell was also a four-time finalist for the Tewaaraton Trophy and is the only player to win the award twice. He led Syracuse to two national championships and holds the school record for most career points.
In 2005, Powell joined the MLL and was drafted by the Baltimore Bayhawks, where he and his teammate Gary Gait led the Bayhawks to the league championship. Powell also played in the MLL All-Star Game, where he was selected as MVP.
Powell was a member of U.S. World Team in the 2006 World Lacrosse Championship, where he was the U.S.'s leading scorer and was selected to the All-World Team. The U.S. team fell to Canada in the championship game, 15-10, marking the second time the Americans had lost to the Canadians in 14 contests.
