The Clark Lacrosse Hall of Famer

Did you know there is only one lacrosse player in the Clark Athletics Hall of Fame?

Mike Maltais '91 is the first men's lacrosse player to be inducted into the Clark Athletic Hall of Fame. One of the most dominant offensive players in the program's history, Maltais helped lead the transition of the sport from club to varsity status during his four-year tenure.

Maltais was a three-time Patriot league all-star, an All-New England East/West all-star and two-time team Most Valuable Player. He also set all of Clark's single-game and season scoring records and career marks, many of which still stand today. Maltais earned Clark's Fred Hebert Trophy, presented to a male senior athlete for outstanding contribution to the athletic program. He is Clark's all-time leading scorer with 98 goals, 80 assists and 178 points.

After a short stint as Clark's head lacrosse coach from 1997-1998, Maltais started his own business, servicing exercise equipment in the greater Worcester area. He was also a certified cycling coach and a national ski patrol member. Maltais has been involved in many charity events, including mechanical support for American Diabetes Charity Bike Ride and Courage Classic Charity Ride for a children's hospital in Denver, Colo.
