Anthony W. Gray, a lifelong lacrosse athlete and coach, has shaped the game through elite performance, cultural leadership, and long-term coaching impact across multiple levels. A member of the Mohawk Nation, Gray’s career spans high school success, collegiate All-American honors, international competition, and player development from grassroots to elite training environments.

As an athlete, Gray starred at Salmon River High School, earning All-Northern Athletic and Academic honors and selection to the Empire State Games. At Northfield Mount Hermon, he was named MVP and Eastern New England All-Star. He went on to Hobart College, where he became a two-time NCAA All-American midfielder, known for his transition play, man-up efficiency, and physical presence. He competed in three World Championships with the Iroquois Nationals (1990, 1994, 1998), serving as captain in 1998 and helping elevate Indigenous lacrosse on the global stage.

Gray also competed at the highest levels of Canadian box lacrosse and played professionally with the Rochester Knighthawks of the National Lacrosse League.

As a coach, Gray led Oakton High School to five district, three regional, and three state titles (2001–2008), with consistent postseason appearances. He also held coaching roles at Wakefield, Robinson, Marshall, St. Paul VI, and Marymount University, where he helped the program return to conference playoffs and led a nationally ranked man-up unit.

Gray is a longtime advocate for youth development and skills training. He spent five years with Piranha Lax, helping players develop advanced skills and game IQ through high-level instruction. He also co-founded the North American Box Lacrosse League (NABLL), expanding access to adult competition and building development pathways across North America.

Outside of lacrosse, Gray has served for 23 years as an educator in Fairfax County Public Schools, specializing in equity, gifted education, and curriculum development. His work reflects a deep commitment to opportunity, mentorship, and cultural pride—on and off the field.
