It was Christmas time and he and the Corrections Dept thought it was a nice gesture on our part to give back!

Were there several former players that worked at rikers over the years or in corrections or something like that ? Last year this medic in the ambulance ironically as we are talking during a he ride his dad played on St. John’s long time ago pretty sure he said center and I’m almost positive he said something like he had worked at rikers after or corrections and helped steer some former players on that career path

Yes several went NYPD and Corrections and Transit.
I recall that Lee Green was a highly respected staffer at the Department of Juvenile Justice.

And Danny Hurley is so awesome that he’s going to get 2 bids!
The late Lee Green was an NYPD Officer and Darrell Aiken started off at NYPD before moving over to the Hempstead PD (since retired).
We have had a slew of former football players who have gone on to NYPD and/or Nassau County PD and other jurisdictions along with a couple of Team Managers.

Will probably be entertaining as hell but I feel like I'll have at least 10 other things to watch ahead of that.
Thanksgiving time just hasn’t been the same since we stopped hosting the Lapchick Tournament.
Still waiting for a rematch with the vaunted Cal-Irvine Anteaters.
That stain will never be removed.
Hopefully an away game.Still waiting for a rematch with the vaunted Cal-Irvine Anteaters.
Will never beat the school scintillating Marathon Oil games though
Think we went 39-1 in the Lapchick Classic but as soon as we lost it was over. Coincidence? I remember the comment about the Lapchick Classic that St. John’s invited 3 teams they knew they could beat and called it a classic.Still waiting for a rematch with the vaunted Cal-Irvine Anteaters.
