Meet the Team

CEO. Founder. Editor. Social Media Manager. Photographer. Product Designer. And literally everything else.

If you’ve seen it, posted it, worn it, or liked it... I made it.

I’m Zak Raymond, the founder of Yardsale Lacrosse. I’ve lived lacrosse from every angle: player, coach, fighter... this brand is an extension of all of it. 

Why Yardsale?

Because most lacrosse clothing sucks.
Lame slogans. Cheap shirts. Boring designs.
I got tired of it. So I started making gear that I’d actually wear... turns out, a lot of other people would too.

Yardsale Lacrosse exists to grow the game through trending content and great designs on high-quality clothes. No “I ❤️ Lax Moms” shirts here. 

A Bit About Me

I graduated from college with a Marketing diploma, while playing rugby in college, and Junior B Lacrosse with the Tyendinaga Thunder. I fought MMA for 5 years, with two fights and a bunch of BJJ tournaments under my belt. I’ve also played semi-pro rugby in British Columbia and for the Toronto Arrows Academy.

After graduating from college I finished my playing career in Ontario for the Whitby Steelhawks in the Arena Lacrosse League (NLL Minors) and ended up moving to Nova Scotia. 

Since 2024 I’ve been working hard to grow the game from the bench as well, coaching the Jr. Ottawa Black Bears at the Jr. NLL tournament, and the Kingston Krossfire U15 Team. Now, I Head Coach two teams in Nova Scotia, including Team Nova Scotia, as well as being defensive coordinator for the Metro Jr. B Gryphons.

I’ve always played defense, but had my share of scraps in lacrosse too, it’s always been my first love.

Now I’ve got a baby in one hand and a camera in the other — balancing fatherhood, the grind, and the mission to make lacrosse culture actually cool.
