Midfielder Cameron Flint, a Canadian native, has burst onto the DU scene. He has scored eight goals in his first three lacrosse games. He is currently in a freshman and plans to major in business.
What made you choose DU?
I was looking at a bunch of places, but when I came out here I just fell in love. With the location and everything, and the older guys on the team, so it just felt like home.
What is it like playing for a coach like Bill Tierney?
It’s awesome, it’s kind of unbelievable actually because I never expected to have such a great coach. It’s a dream come true.
What is your favorite sport to watch?
Hockey.
Who is your all-time favorite athlete?
Jarome Iginla.
What is your favorite professional sports team?
Calgary Flames.
What is your favorite to play sport besides lacrosse?
Hockey.
What made you choose lacrosse over hockey?
I’ve always liked lacrosse more and if I played hockey I would have stayed back and education would not have been at the forefront. In the end education is really important to me and I wanted to come to the states.
What is your favorite part of lacrosse?
The run and gun type of feel of the game.
What was it like scoring a goal against the defending national champions Syracuse?
It was pretty awesome. I mean we were down and it was at the end of the game but getting your first goal takes a big weight off your chest.
What music do you like to listen to before a game?
Rap.
What is your favorite movie?
“Law Abiding Citizen.” I actually watched it last night.
What is your favorite lacrosse memory?
I would say last year at prep school winning the New England championship.
What goals have you set for your on the field play this year?
Play my best every game, contribute, and do everything I can to make our team win.
What’s it like to be a part of the blossoming Canadian lacrosse movement?
It’s actually nice because you set an example for all the kids who want to come to the states and basically show them the ropes on what they got to do.
When are they finally going to make a good lacrosse video game?
(Laughs) I think that might take awhile it has to grow a bit before that happens.
What is your favorite band/artist?
The Notorious B.I.G.
What meal do you like to eat before games?
Pasta.
