He was a 2x All-American and 3x All-County award winner. He then went on to play at Georgetown where he was a major part of the programs resurgence. As a Hoya he had 226 points in 57 career games, and finished his senior season as an inside lacrosse/USILA All-American and the Big East Attackmen of the Year. MLL - PLL Bucaro was selected 9th overall by the Denver Outlaws in the 2019 MLL draft. He had an incredible season the MLL bubble which ultimately led to his 3rd overall selection by the Atlas LC in the PLL entry draft. As a member of the Atlas Dan has been one of the most consistent options on a high powered offense, as he's secured a point in every game this season. Show Notes We start the show by talking with Dan about his recent experience trying out for the USA 6ixes roster in Lake Placid. Having played two professional games last weekend, he immediately traveled to play another three days of lacrosse in New York. He offers some great insight into the new format and how he feels about the pace and strategy. We then talk with him about his time at Ward Melville and Georgetown and how those places have molded him into the professional he is today. Lastly, we discuss life as a pro and how he's been able to balance his day job as an underwriter with his love for lacrosse and a pro playing career.
