The Adanacs welcome back this perennial WLA and NLL standout after a one-year absence due to coaching commitments with the Junior A Burnaby Lakers (he coached them to the Minto Cup win in 2004).

“Mouse” hit the floor at full speed this year, scoring 11 goals and 7 assists in his first four games on 33% shooting, and as the team comes together he is excited to play again with fellow 2001 Mann Cup offensive stars Colin Doyle, Dan Stroup and Jason Wulder.

Curt was born in Sault Ste.-Marie, Ontario and first played lacrosse at age four in East Vancouver, but from age 10 until his WLA debut he played only for Coquitlam. In three seasons with the Junior Adanacs he was named Team MVP, a Second Team All-Star in 1990 and a First Team All-Star in 1991 when he also won the Bill Dickinson Trophy as league Top Scorer.

Drafted by New Westminster in 1992, Curt played for the Salmonbellies for five years before he was traded to North Shore in 1997. Curt joined the Adanacs in 2000. He has had a stellar career in the WLA and so far has been named a Second Team All Star twice and a First Team All Star three times. In his first year with the Adanacs he scored 71goals and 83 assists for a phenomenal 154 points in 33 league and playoff games in a Triple Crown year as a WLA First All-Star Team member, WLA MVP and winner of the Maitland Trophy for skill, sportsmanship and contribution to lacrosse in the community. Curt won the Maitland Trophy again in 2001 and 2002 and has continued to devote his time and great heart in coaching each and every summer and is a quintessential role model for young lacrosse players. During the 2001 Mann Cup championship season he scored 52 goals and 68 assists for 120 points in 32 games while also coaching minor lacrosse in Coquitlam. His senior “A” stats before this season included 492 goals and 615 assists for an astounding total of 1,107 points and 625 PiM in 371 games.

Curt played six seasons for Rochester in the NLL, for the Vancouver Ravens in 2004, for San Jose in 2005 and part of 2006 and since then in Arizona, going all the way to the championship game this year with Adanac teammates Andy Secore, Bruce Murray, Brad MacDonald, Brandon Atherton and Peter Veltman. His NLL stats include 238 goals and 251 assists for 449 points and 534 loose balls and only 102PiM in 143 games.

Curt’s other sports interests include soccer, swimming and water skiing as well as boating, fishing, playing pool and cards, and movies. Before coaching the Junior Lakers, Curt coached Coquitlam Midget "A-1" and Bantam A-1 teams to provincial gold medals.

Curt is an electrician. He and his wife Gilda, who is a day care worker, were married on September 11, 1999. They are doting parents to their son Cody who is only a year or so away from Mini-Tyke and has “future lacrosse all-star” written all over him. Curt’s cooking specialty is fajitas.

He lists the people most influential in his lacrosse career include the late and esteemed Bill Munroe, the great John Allen, coach Adam Andre, the former superb ‘Bellies team captain Eric Cowieson and Adanac GM Les Wingrove.

Curt’s tremendous spirit and his love for and devotion to the game and to his teammates are unsurpassed and make a fitting final observation.
