Sean Ferris

48 minutes

Every team has its unsung heroes. Its people behind the

curtain. Its secret weapons.

Sean Ferris has been one of those guys since the 90s! The

NLL's International Man of Mystery, and that's part of the reason this podcast exists: to shine a light on some of these legends, pick their brains, and tell their stories, honoring their impact on the game.

Sean Ferris started as a scout in the NLL during the Les

Bartley-led Toronto Rock dynasty and carries Bartley's coaching legacy into the game today. Usually linked with his bestie, Eddie Comeau, he's been an assistant coach alongside Comeau in the NLL for over 20 years! Together,

they've coached the Rochester Knighthawks, New York and Orlando Titans, Colorado Mammoth, and currently the Georgia Swarm.

This Burlington native has won six championships in total

with the Rock, Knighthawks, and Swarm. He's also a multiple World Championships, working behind the scenes with Team Canada as their Team Supervisor—a role as mysterious as it sounds.

If you've ever met Ferris, he's one of the most outgoing and

personable people in the game—but he absolutely loves flying under the radar and hates talking about himself. I'll try to get some nuggets out of him. What I hope comes across is that he's a guy who pays attention to detail. Sometimes

it's just as important to take care of players and teams off the floor as it is on the floor. He lives by that: take care of your players, and your players will take care of you.

He was a Presidents Cup champion as a player, specializing

in defense, and is currently the defensive coach for the Swarm.
