Will Cecile on Life as a Nursing Student, Jumping into Junior A Full-Time, and Making the Switch to Defence

04/22/20 • 37 min

For our inaugural episode of RUGBURN we talk with current Burlington Chiefs (OJALL) defender Will Cecile. Will was scheduled to join Canada and the Canadian Lacrosse League in Melbourne, Australia for the 2020 IIJL Commonwealth Cup in March - everything was put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Will breaks down the balancing act of being a Nursing Student at the University of Windsor. He also runs through his progression as a player, switching from offence to defence, and making the jump from Junior B to Junior A. Stay until the end of the episode where we get a glimpse into the life of a rookie in junior lacrosse when Will shares his all-time favourite haircut courtesy of some of his teammates.
