The best lacrosse players become the best iron workers

[Cook:]
The youth grow up playing lacrosse. The best lacrosse players become the best iron workers.
[Lindberg:]
Is that right?
[Cook:]
But over here it’s basketball, football, and then that’s the cohesion and the background, the culture they have. I hope that it would take them as far as it takes us.
[Lindberg:]
Did you play lacrosse?
[Cook:]
Yes, eight years on the reservation team. Everybody plays lacrosse. Yeah.
[Lindberg:]
Nowadays, they have face protectors. Did you guys have that?
[Cook:]
No.
[Lindberg:]
We didn’t either. No.
[Cook:]
No. No.
[Lindberg:]
It looks like you’ve still got most of your teeth.
[Cook:]
Yes.
[Lindberg:]
You got away without it.
[Cook:]
Yeah. But, yes, I was a lacrosse player, stepped right into it.
