NY Islanders Star John Tavares Idolizes His Uncle, NLL legend John Tavares

There was a really great piece by Jeff Z. Klein in the NY Times yesterday profiling John Tavares, the Buffalo Bandits (NLL) star who happens to be the uncle of NY Islanders star center and Hart Trophy (NHL MVP) candidate John Tavares. The elder Tavares (right; photo credit NLL.com), a school teacher in Ontario, has played 22 seasons in the NLL. He has won four championships and per the article is the highest scoring player in the history of indoor lacrosse, amassing an incredible 1,666 points in the NLL.

This season, he has led the Islanders back to the playoffs for the first time since 2007. He also played box lacrosse as a teenager. Per Klein, he was even the Bandits’ ball boy for a couple of seasons growing up. ...
