A note from Epoch Lacrosse regarding COVID-19

To our Epoch Family,

The global spread of COVID-19 is affecting each and everyone of us. At Epoch we want everyone to be safe and healthy. Our hearts and thoughts go out to the people who have been affected by this unprecedented event. We appreciate the healthcare workers, local communities, and governments around the world who are on the front line working to contain this pandemic.

One of Epoch’s core values is Family first, and right now we stand with our lacrosse family and share in the disappointment resulting in the recent cancellations and suspensions of their season. We already miss Randy Staats lighting up the net or Matt Rambo dodging his way to the goal; and we were definitely looking forward to watching the women at UNC avenge their semi-final, triple overtime loss to BC in ’19 and make a run at a National Championship; or watching Army West Point turn heads as they creeped up the rankings preparing for a final four run.

But it’s not just our D1 teams we are going to miss. We will miss the live streams of the Adelphi’s men’s and women’s teams taking on their rivals or MCLA contender UofM-Duluth defending their turf against rival St. John’s. We will miss watching the countless highlights on Instagram and Twitter while following scores on the Inside Lacrosse Scoreboard. And of course, we will miss Saturday’s watching ESPN and hearing Carcaterra providing insight on how good a player was in HS (and how good his mom makes spaghetti and meatballs).

We know these teams will soon be back on the field and the sound of whistles, coaches yelling and athletes competing for victory will be heard again. But most importantly as we wait for normalcy to return, we want these teams and their players to be safe and healthy.

We will continue to work hard, even at our homes, using math and science to create the next great product. And when the dust settles and whistles sound again, we will be ready to share with the world what is next. Be good and Be safe.

Live. Play. Be. Your Epoch Family

Our engineers have worked tirelessly to create this innovative Integra line and give players a superior combination of comfort, mobility, and protection.”

The Integra Select, Pro, and Elite gloves are the next evolution in protection, comfort, and performance.

The Dragonfly Select, Pro, and Elite use a vast portfolio of Epoch technologies, that were all tested in the Premiere Lacrosse League (PLL) for the 2019 season to ensure highest quality and consistency. Used by the best athletes in the world, these shafts are engineered to improve player performance.

“The new Dragonfly Select, Pro, and Elite are the best shafts I’ve used,” said Matt Rambo, Epoch Athlete, attackman for the Premier Lacrosse League (PLL) Whipsnakes and 2019 regular season points leading scorer. “They look fantastic, their technology is amazing, and the shafts have without a doubt increased my performance on the field.”

Epoch Lacrosse Signs Premier Lacrosse League Player John Sexton

Design and technology company known for innovative and high-performing lacrosse gear signs on with John Sexton of the PLL

MINNEAPOLIS (July 24th, 2019) – Epoch Lacrosse, a U.S. design and technology company that specializes in engineering game-changing lacrosse gear, proudly announces their partnership with Premier Lacrosse League (PLL) player John Sexton. Sexton, two years removed from an illustrious college career and playing in the inaugural season of the PLL, is a defenseman for the Redwoods Lacrosse Club and a key implementer of the PLL’s vision of expanding the horizons of the game to reach a broader audience.

The new partnership includes an agreement where Epoch will provide gear for Sexton for the 2019 PLL season and be active with OWLS Lacrosse. Sexton will be playing with an Epoch Dragonfly carbon fiber shaft and the brand-new Z One head. He will also be protected by Epoch’s innovative Integra Protective gear. In addition, half of Sexton’s salary will go towards supporting the OWLS program, a youth development organization with whom he is actively involved and to whom Epoch also donates gear. OWLS Lacrosse creates opportunities through lacrosse for underserved youth in Chicago.

“We’re incredibly excited to be welcoming John to the Epoch Lacrosse family. His impressive career at Notre Dame, as well as his success in the professional lacrosse level, drew our attention and highlighted him as an athlete that we knew we wanted to work with,” said Ryan Hurley, Director of Sales at Epoch Lacrosse. “Having a person and player like John as an Epoch athlete opens up a ton of opportunities for us to evolve and grow together. We’re looking forward immensely to the future with him.”

“Throughout our time working with John, we’ve been so grateful for his generosity and impressed by his passion for the game and drive to help others,” said Sam Angelotta of OWLS Lacrosse. “John is committed to serving his community just like we are and we’re thankful and excited for this chance to continue partnering with him to improve the academic and social outcomes of the youth we serve.”

Sexton graduated from Notre Dame in 2018 where he garnered a lengthy and notable list of accolades. Throughout his time as a 4-year starter, Sexton was a 3-time USILA All-American and a 3-time All-ACC Selection. In his senior season, Sexton was the ACC Defensive Player of the Year and the winner of the William C. Schmeisser Award, which is given to the nation’s top collegiate defenseman.

“I am excited to be representing not only one of the premier technology companies in the sport of lacrosse but a company that has proven itself to be a progressive ambassador of the sport, helping to support the OWLS program alongside myself,” said Sexton. “Partnering with Epoch will both elevate my game and assist in providing hundreds of students in the Chicago area with opportunities they may not have received without the tireless efforts of the OWLS program and contributors and Epoch’s generosity.”

During his first professional season in 2018, Sexton played for the Major League Lacrosse where he was a defenseman for the Dallas Rattlers. For the 2019 season, Sexton has joined the new PLL. He was drafted to the Redwoods Lacrosse Club as a defenseman. The PLL’s opening season has just begun for Sexton, and he’s already a stand-out player for the Redwoods, playing in each of the team’s 6 games and anchoring a star-studded defensive unit.
