“I am thrilled to be back for my fifth season with the Boston Cannons, the most dedicated professional lacrosse organization in the world,” Quirk said. “We have been building the last several seasons, last year reaching the MLL semifinals. In 2020 our only goal as an organization, coaching staff and players is to win the MLL championship.”
