Hunter Drouin couldn’t wait for the start of his second season with the Colgate Men’s Lacrosse team. While he’s itching to build on a promising first year and help the Raiders win the conference, there’s another reason why season No. 2 is significant to the native of Derry, N.H. A much more personal reason, as Drouin is a cancer survivor. And now, he wants to use his story to give hope to others with the disease, and to help raise money for childhood cancer research. Each season, the team selects a good cause for raising awareness or donations. This year, the team has partnered with Lacrosse Out Cancer, a nationwide campaign that helps lacrosse players raise money for the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation.
