Our lacrosse program will honor Fritz on Saturday October 13th during the 40th Annual Burns Paiute Tribe Reservation Day, Reception, Lacrosse Tournament and Pow Wow by playing a Medicine Game. The game for Fritz will be the last game of the day. We will play to honor Fritz and to help heal his family and the Oregon lacrosse community.

We would truly appreciate as many people from the “lacrosse family” to attend this event. I know it is out of the way. But hey, that NEVER stopped Fritz!

Thank you Richard, for such kind words. I am passing this on to our family and so proud of my brother and know he always gave so much. Your words honor him!

Thank you for sharing Coach Roy, I was working the table for that playoff game and could not agree with you more.
Fritz personified Growing The Game. He was part of a group of ref’s who came down to spend a day in Salem training our area high school players to be ref’s for our youth organization. You could see in Fritz, and all of them, how important it was these boys be trained well. He gave me some sage advice as we are a young league, and let me know he was always available. We at SKYLL thank him for all he did to help grow lacrosse in our community. It is a tremendous loss.
