If you haven’t seen it yet, take a moment to watch the new Lowell Five Presents video featuring our head coach, Bryan Brazill, along with some great clips of our HGR players. Yes, it appears as a testimonial for the bank, but it also gives a clear picture of who we are as a program.
The video opens with Bryan saying, “This is Lacrosse Shangri-La.” He isn’t kidding. That line sums up what we’ve spent years building. HGR has become a place where young athletes feel supported, challenged, and excited to grow. The culture matters here. Kids walk in with different levels of experience and leave with confidence that carries them far beyond the field.
Bryan talks about how the program started small and steadily grew as more families recognized the impact lacrosse can have when the environment is right. When it came time to expand our facility, we looked for a partner who understood what we were trying to create. Lowell Five stepped in with genuine interest and practical help. They saw the long-term value for the community and helped us turn a vision into a facility that serves our players every day.
What makes this video worth sharing is the glimpse it offers into our approach. You see the kids working hard. You hear the deeper motivation behind what we do. You get a sense of the pride we take in creating a place where players feel grounded, encouraged, and part of something meaningful.
For new families, it’s a window into the heartbeat of HGR. For longtime players, it’s a reminder of what makes their home turf special. And for us, it’s a moment to appreciate how far the program has come.
Take a look and see why Bryan calls it Lacrosse Shangri-La.
