If there's one thing I learned from this video it's not to use a carbon shaft in box haha. 2 different breaks

[@BillOBrien96]

Hahahah that's a solid observation, the game is fast and hits hard. Might need solid steel or wood ;-)

[@IzzyandJackie]

3:40 I love how you and that one dude were trash talking but he got scared and subbed off at the wrong time

[@mcsquilliam3978]

I love how that guy telling u ur not mean enough as you sit in the penalty box xD

[@BillOBrien96]

You're not kidding, it's pretty ironic

[@RoughOne83]

Love the old head in the box spiting game lol

[@BillOBrien96]

An absolute legend. What's your favorite part of box lacrosse?

[@mcsquilliam3978]

LOL that attack man at 0:27. That “oh fk” as he realized who his new defender is. That guy had good spirit

[@BillOBrien96]

Hahah You're not kidding

I️ Love you❤️❤️❤️ finally!!! All these GoPro POV videos but no good lacrosse ones.. well of course til I️ found you😊❤️

[@BillOBrien96]

My man Matt! I'm glad you enjoy them brother, appreciate you tuning in!

[@445603]

Thank you for the video

[@BillOBrien96]

Of course! Thank you for watching

[@notsolukky2934]

I know it’s the same sport but indoor lax seem way different from outdoor

[@BillOBrien96]

James PR they’re basically two different games

[@jollyg6365]

I never watched box lax before. It’s insane to me that you can hit people like that who aren’t playing for the ball. I’ve only played field lax so there must be quite a few rule differences.

[@BillOBrien96]

Ken, I'm glad you've stumbled across box lacrosse and how the game is played. It is a much more physical game than people anticipate. I played D1 college football for Sacred Heart University and Box Lacrosse is a much more physical sport!

[@blasphemet]

Ik i’m super late but dude aggressive players get in the other teams head keep it up

[@BillOBrien96]

Re Tard thanks my man, better late than never. I know my role 💪🏽😉

[@r.edward5701]

Love the dude in the box

[@BillOBrien96]

Hahah legend.

Ever try box lacrosse?

[@brycehart1569]

Great job so aggressive thanks for replying bill

[@BillOBrien96]

Thanks Bryce, thats the name of the game

[@thickhazepromo]

You are a monster, mean defense

[@BillOBrien96]

Thanks ya beast! I appreciate that, every shift I try to play likes its my last. We can only control our effort and our attitude.

[@carterobrien5233]

i live in upstate close to onondaga, where can i watch these games live

[@BillOBrien96]

Come check out a game at the onondaga nation arena, we're in season now!

[@jakehughes4592]

This was fucking badass! always wished I could play some box but there isn't any in my area.

[@BillOBrien96]

Thanks brother! I appreciate you tuning in, Box Lacrosse is the real deal homie!

[@sportsfanatic472]

Number 3 runnin away like a pansy lmao😂

[@BillOBrien96]

Lmao you aint kidding.

[@User-rq4id]

This guy really broke a wolf athletics U-2 shaft

[@BillOBrien96]

Bringing the boom my man, that's what happens sometimes. That thing dished out a serious beating before that though.

[@mcsquilliam3978]

Lol why did 3 call u a bundle of twigs. Also is that twig legal?

[@BillOBrien96]

Yessir in that league woodies are legal

[@CarFlyRCing]

What blue head is that?

[@BillOBrien96]

The strongest one I could find lol a gift from my buddy Dan Rodgers

[@CarFlyRCing]

thanks man keep grinding!

[@BillOBrien96]

Thanks the only way to do it brother!

[@Hasina1st]

I've never played box lacrosse but I really want to. I only play field lacrosse and I noticed you check a lot even when the guy doesn't have the ball. It's obviously legal or else you'd get called a lot but my question is why do you do that? Any major benefit as a defensive player if you do that? Also, you play at a high level, is all that checking done at lower levels? Like college age or a men's league?

[@BillOBrien96]

That's a great question! In box lacrosse it is legal to cross check off ball, if you do it too much you can be called for interference but you have to find what the ref will tolerate. Checking off ball keeps the offensive players mind on you and not so much on the ball movement, also in a 7 game series each check wears on the opponent. Come game 7 they will be questioning why to even bother cutting the middle.

[@Hasina1st]

Bill O'Brien damn that's badass. Definitely will bring that into my style of play now. I play pole and main goal is to check them so hard that they don't want to dodge on me. I will keep that defensive mentality you have and transfer it over. Keep up the good work brotha! Love the videos and keep being a damn beast out there!!!!

[@BillOBrien96]

Love to hear that! You're a beast in the making brother! I'll keep them coming if you want, stay on the grind!

[@acky44]

wise man said to hit them not slash them billy, great vid though

[@BillOBrien96]

I prefer to do as much as the ref allows, play within the confines of the game to make the biggest impact. Believe you me the slashes go both ways lol

[@brycehart1569]

Oh my god you broke his shaft man good job

[@BillOBrien96]

hahah all that work in the gym

[@a-hvlogs2046]

guy has to bring in them cross checks to keep it fair

[@BillOBrien96]

Have you ever played box lacrosse, cross checking is legal.

[@curtis9701]

is it normal to two hand a guy in the hands who is not even relevant in the play in lacrosse?

[@BillOBrien96]

In our league it is 💪🏽😉

[@vixcext]

You should play more offence

[@BillOBrien96]

I could do that for ya! ;-)

[@2legit811]

I ruined the 69 comments

[@BillOBrien96]

I don't mind, I feel like you enhanced it

[@jackguerrisi]

ig i’m late to the party on this comment section, but dude is just hacking away at wrists before the guys even touch the ball, hate people who play like this

[@BillOBrien96]

I’m taking it you’ve never played box lacrosse, this is apart of the game. Give it and take it.

[@nicktordone6402]

This dude is a HUGE hack. Can't keep up skill wise and makes up for it by breaking the dudes wrist before he gets the ball.

[@BillOBrien96]

Sounds like a good plan to me, hopefully we can play each other one day ;-)

[@user-cf8cg6xl8y]

Its legal in box so he isnt a hack

[@rocky1d]

If I was in an actual league like this I'd play like that but if I was in a mens league like you know where one team wears dark the other white, then I'd play more toned down cause everyone is there to stay in shape and not compete. My opinion though not sure about Billy....
