The Port Jefferson Royals Boys Varsity Lacrosse team hosted the Eastport-South Manor Sharks in the inaugural Aidan Kaminska “My Day” Foundation Memorial Lacrosse Game — an event marked by an overwhelming outpouring of support from fans and generous online donations.
Head Coach Taylor Forstell described the atmosphere as one where Aidan thrived: “It was the type of environment where Aidan gave every ounce of his energy to help win lacrosse games. The crowd was lively, and both teams left it all on the field. I hope we can build on today’s success and continue to grow this game for years to come.”
The event raised over $3,000 for the Aidan Kaminska “My Day” Foundation, which supports mental health initiatives and academic resources for high school and college student-athletes nationwide. Every player from both teams received a wellness box, one of the many ways the foundation gives back through scholarships and mental health awareness tools.
A senior captain and former teammate of Aidan shared his thoughts:
“This day was a perfect reflection of who Aidan was as a player and teammate. From Mr. Kaminska’s speech to the fans and former players who showed up, to the wellness boxes we received — it was an amazing experience. I’m already looking forward to coming back next year and being part of the fan support.”
Congratulations to Port Jefferson’s Owen Whiffen on reaching an incredible milestone — 500 career saves!
Owen’s hard work, determination, and leadership between the pipes have significantly impacted the Royals’ lacrosse program. Here’s to a fantastic achievement and an even brighter future ahead!
Congratulations to Mattituck goalie Andrew McKenzie on reaching an incredible milestone — 500 career saves!

Lax Out Cancer is an annual lacrosse fundraising event which recognizes local families who are battling cancer and raises money to help them fight.
It is run completely by volunteers. Lax Out Cancer began in 2009 when the Shoreham Wading River lacrosse community raised money for a family of a local child battling cancer.
This amazing fundraiser has become an annual event and every year it has attracted more attention, volunteers, and contributors. 5% of the proceeds will be donated to the Boys Lacrosse Program & 5 % will be donated to the Girls Lacrosse Program.
Mount Sinai native Joey Spallina led the U.S. Men’s Box Lacrosse Team to its best finish at the world championships after capturing a silver medal.
Thanks for making Section XI and the United States proud!
