Gary Groob

Gary Groob has been involved with Lacrosse for the majority of his life, whether playing, coaching, or covering the sport for the media. An avid fan, with a real drive about helping to "grow the game", Gary became part of podcasts about the game in 2010. Through the podcasts, Mr. Groob was given an opportunity to write about lacrosse, and the rest as they say, is history. Through many miles (flying and driving) Gary has made inroads with the National Lacrosse League, Major Series Lacrosse, Ontario Series Lacrosse, the Ontario Lacrosse Association, CUFLA, as well as the Arena Lacrosse League, covering the leagues, their teams, and players, working for, and in concert with all of them. In the year 2019, Mr. Groob was made the media person for the Arena Lacrosse League, voted onto the board of directors of the Brampton Excelsiors Lacrosse Club, as well as being made administrator of the Lacrosse page "Global Lacrosse" with a membership of 14,000+ members in over 90 Countries. Gary was also made an administrator of Lacrosse History Past Present and Future in 2022 with a membership of 19,000+. Gary also has been the media person for Ontario Series Lacrosse (Senior B) since 2023. Mr. Groob also covers the Green Gaels for their excursions to Prague at the Ales Hrebesky tournament since 2022. In 2024, when Major Series Lacrosse was in need of a media person, Gary stepped in as their interim media person. His tasks were running their social media, as well as their website until a full time person was found to fill the role. In 2025 Gary was voted onto the Board of Directors for Ontario Series Lacrosse. Mr. Groob hosts a weekly lacrosse interview show formerly on Spanglish Sports World, and ZingoTV channel 250, now on StreamPunkEnt.com, Youtube, as well as Spotify.

Gary also wrote a weekly lacrosse editorial column for La Portada Canada News both in print and online for three years from 2021-2024. In 2025, Mr. Groob joined the ownership ranks, becoming a minority owner of StreamPunk Entertainment, ensuring Lacrosse will always have voice in media. Mr. Groob's other sports interests include Hockey, Football, Boxing, Wrestling, and Baseball, competing competitively in Boxing and Wrestling for many years.

The Peterborough Lakers (5-0) continued their busy week of three games in four nights visiting the Cobourg Kodiaks (1-3) at the Cobourg Community Centre in Cobourg, Ontario.

The goaltending match-up had Drew Hutchison in net for Peterborough facing Jackson Brown in net for the Kodiaks.

A fairly close game until midway through the third period, where the Peterborough Lakers put together a five goal run to blow the game wide open. Mike Robinson (2g 4a) and Carter Page (2g,1a) led the way for the Lakers as they won their third game in four nights 13-6 over the Kodiaks. Drew Hutchison made 57 saves on the evening.

For Cobourg Aaron Woods led the team with a pair of goals. Jackson Brown made 50 saves in the loss.

Brad McCulley got things going quickly with a blast off a Taite Cattoni pass at 0:24 seconds, followed by Koleton Marquis with a low to low laser off a Carter Page pass at 3:41.

The Kodiaks fought back when Jeremi Phoenix converted a Taylor Dooley pass at 5:08, followed by Aaron Woods with a blast off a Dante Kulas feed at 9:09.

Brock Haley would make the game 8-5 with a blast from the outside off an Alex Marinier pass at 6:10, but a Lakers run of five goals would put this game out of reach.
