Hey Lawson, love the videos, I think you should do a facility tour!!

[@jhayveetampol6407]

Great video Lawsy!

[@keeganpeet6309]

this was so quality. great vid!

[@thescarletgraywitch8052]

I had to laugh when you admitted that you become hangry. 😂😂

[@gabrielcm8459]

Great video! You’re a great example for the youth, you’re an inspiration for my 10 y son who aspire to play NCAA...he’s Canadian👍

[@lawsonmcdonald5396]

Thank you, I bet he can get to the NCAA if he works at it!

[@ericgulseth74]

Clicked on the video due to the thumbnail. Have seen some good tilts in that barn back in the day and had a few people boo me. I moved to NY and turns out one of my friends out here was on that Elmira team that made them install the gate between the locker rooms. Also got to see the greatest D3 Frozen Fours I've ever seen in that building when Oswego beat Middlebury in OT to win the National Championship.

[@canyoubeatme1632]

Unreal vid!

[@trav4oilers]

Solid video dog, seen your hustle in person. You're doing it real deal man.

[@lawsonmcdonald5396]

Thanks trav! Means a lot man

[@stellamarie2509]

This is amazing, I'm researching hockey for a book I'm about to start writing 😊

[@andersclay459]

Did u write it?

[@keeganpeet6309]

really awesome stuff 🙌🙌

[@timfronimos459]

Fun video. Thanks for posting. Hock ey player routines are much the same world over. *** On a side note. anybody remember a hockey channel of a Canadian female hockey player who did a day in the life. I enjoyed and now cant find. I think she lived in prairie provinces.

[@matthiasbergendahl8596]

Keep up the hard work!

[@chiaragibbings6645]

I have to show my partner the hip stretchs! He always ends up hurting his hips hiking up the mountain and hopefully this might help! 😁

[@awcinematics4942]

Yooo that’s crazy you were at empire coffee! I stayed in a Airbnb in the building above it. Their mocha is fire. Nice vid

Hey Lawson, I'm a kinesiology major and it's dope to see that you're an exercise science major. What are your plans for the future with that major? Athletic Trainer?

[@lawsonmcdonald5396]

Possibly going to physical therapy, maybe open my own gym for athletes

[@jakenuss22]

Excellent Video! Can't wait for the skills video! As a new hockey player trying to teach myself the game your videos help a lot!

[@wecomeinpeace5082]

Hey. New here. I always wondered at what levels do the teams/schools start supplying things liks tape and equipment. Do you use all of your own stuff or does the school provide some things?

[@endershark6227]

Love your vids man keep it up

Cool vid good luck in your adventure

[@lawsonmcdonald5396]

Thanks!

[@timmathias2677]

The levels to hockey are so crazy. You play AAA with kids your whole life and only half the team ends up going any further than d3 just goes to show how good d3 hockey can be

[@ericgulseth74]

With no true D2 hockey in the NCAA, it makes D3 a sneaky good division. My favorite to follow.

[@maxiheininger5180]

Come to Klostersee in Germany

[@Andy-er8ct]

I wish you came back to the winkler flyers. They need you

[@lawsonmcdonald5396]

[@missionfailed3443]

Hey Lawson, given you were asked to come back to Omaha to play D1, would you do it or would you stick to superior?

[@lawsonmcdonald5396]

For my “5th year” I would go back if I was asked

Hey Lawson, great video! What equipment did you use, and what editing software did you use? Also at minute 3:03 in the video is that X-transition included with the editing software you used?
