Yesterday Kevin Buchanan and the Boston Cannons opened up their 2014 Major League Lacrosse season by beating the Chesapeake Bayhawks by a score of 15-9. Buchanan was the top scorer of the game with 7 goals. In addition to starting off his season with a career high in points, Kevin also earned the Warrior Offensive Player of the Week .
This winter I had the opportunity to interview Kevin while he was in attendance at a Lacrosse Coaching Clinic. This is what he said:
Outlook on 2014 Season- Great additions to the team. Excited.
Advice he would give to younger players wanting to take it to the next level- Always have your stick in your hands. Find yourself a lacrosse mentor.
Most memorable lax moment- Winning the MIAA High School Championship for Calvert Hall (that's Maryland)
Favorite athlete growing up- Cal Ripken
Other sports he played growing up- hockey

Opinion on sports specialization at an early age- Good if it is a passion of the kid and not because the parent is forcing it. Overall, it's great to play multiple sports because you get to look forward to the next sport.

Thoughts on the new partnerships MLL has going into 2014 season- It's great, they are making fantastic strides. With the lacrosse community united it will be good for the sport.
How do you stay in shape to play professionally- Working with Tyler and John out at CATZ in Hingham. They will with everything from conditioning, strength and nutrition.
