Optimist Lacrosse Introduces New Logo
Look soon for wearing apparel with this new Optimist Lacrosse logo. The figure is an Onondaga warrior with a wampum belt. We will be offering a range of long and short sleeve shirts and polos. The back will read: "Be Optimistic, Play Lacrosse". For those who don't know, the Onondagas are one of the tribes that comprise the Iroquois nation. See the message from the Onondaga Redhawks below. They reside on their tribal lands just south of Syracuse. Optimist Lacrosse was fortunate to establish a relationship with these great peoples in 1994 when Onondaga teams played our teams and provided key players to our teams that represented Pennsylvania in the first World Youth Games in Manchester, England.
Optimist Creed
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble
Optimist Lacrosse Motto: HONOR THE GAME
Message From Onondaga Redhawks
The Onondaga tribe is one of the six members of the Iroquois Nation. In 1994, Optimist Lacrosse players and families hosted Onondaga players in a weekend of friendly competition. The following Statement appears on their lacrosse website. It explains why lacrosse is more than just a game. Lacrosse is a game that has been played by the Onondagas and the Haudenosaunee people for countless centuries. The Onondagas consider the game to be a very spiritual game given to them by the Creator and is still played at Onondaga as a spiritual and healing game for the people. In the late 1800's at Onondaga, the Haudenosaunee prophet named Handsome Lake requested the game of lacrosse be played as one of his last wishes before he made his journey back to the Creator's land. The game was played in his honor and assisted him to fulfill his journey. The Onondagas call the game Dey-Hon-Tshi-Gwa'-Ehs which translated to mean, "they bump hips". The young people are told by the elders that the game is to be respected and to respect your opponent as they also have been given the gift to play the game. Players of all ages from Onondaga participate in an annual spiritual game. The game is played for the spiritual benefit of the Nation and for all those who play the game. The Onondagas have a long and proud tradition of playing the game and extend their hand to everyone to join them in preserving and playing the oldest team sport in North America, Dey-Hon-Tshi-Gwa'-Ehs |
