International Lax: Ghent Goblins in Koppen

The Ghent Goblins, a Lacrosse Club located in Belgium, were recently featured on a TV channel known as Koppen. They represented the game well and the feature probably generated hundreds of new first-time lacrosse fans in their area.

I’d be lying if I said I understood the dialogue in the video below. The only language I speak is English, and sometimes I don’t even speak that very well. You know what the cool thing is though? We as lacrosse players and fans have a different, universal language that revolves around this great sport. It’s called Passion. In this video, you can see and feel the passion coming from the players being interviewed, and that’s all you really need.

If there’s someone out there reading this who can provide some additional background information on this video and/or free translation services, please drop a line in the comments section. We’d love to learn more about the Ghent Goblins lacrosse program!

And now, the Ghent Goblins’ 2010 Christmas Card:

    I don’t speak Flemish but I speak German and what I understand is that they are talking about the basic rules and how the game works.
