Powell Lacrosse and Rhino Lacrosse Announce Merger, More Opportunities for Young Athletes
Portland, Ore. – February 10, 2009 – Professional lacrosse player and Syracuse University legend Ryan Powell is merging his two Portland-based lacrosse instructional companies under the Rhino Lacrosse name. The combination of Powell Lacrosse and Rhino Lacrosse offers today’s young athletes the best in camps, clinics, leagues, travel select teams and training. The goal of the merger is to keep each company’s instructional programs exactly the same, while providing one brand name under which the programs can operate. Powell Lacrosse campers and Rhino Lacrosse participants alike will have the same experience of excellence, just now under the Rhino Lacrosse name.
“My vision for these companies is to grow young athletes’ passion for the game, and give every lacrosse player the tools they need to bring their game to the next level,” Powell said. “By combining Rhino and Powell Lacrosse, we can offer players access to the best instruction in a variety of environments and at all skill levels.”
Powell started Rhino Lacrosse in 2005 as a way to offer young people in Portland access to clinics and leagues taught by world-class lacrosse players and instructors. He began Powell Lacrosse – a series of lacrosse summer camps taught in Oregon, California and Texas for kids aged 8-18 – in 2007 after years of operating camps with his brothers.
Rhino Lacrosse will now have a new look as part of the merger. Visitors to rhinolacrosse.com will notice a new logo that incorporates a rhino’s head into the name, and “Recharged by Ryan Powell #22” below the name to help new and previous Powell Lacrosse camp participants realize Ryan Powell is still behind their favorite programs. Rhino is a nickname Powell earned thanks to his tough, strong, roll-over-opponents playing style. For more information, please visit www.rhinolacrosse.com
