Albany FireWolves News Release


ALBANY, NY - The Albany FireWolves are thrilled to release the documentary short "Dyson Williams: Life. Loss. Lacrosse."

Watch below on the Albany FireWolves YouTube channel:

Presented by the Albany FireWolves and directed by Richard Owens Jr., this film explores the journey of FireWolves forward Dyson Williams from growing up in a lacrosse family to playing in his first National Lacrosse League (NLL) game.

From the description of the film:

There was never a time Dyson Williams had a life without lacrosse. He was raised by a National Lacrosse League Hall of Famer, was the 1st Pick in the 2023 NLL Draft by the Albany FireWolves, and has long been destined to be heir to the throne. The unimaginable tragedy of losing his younger brother and passionate lacrosse player, Tucker, shook Dyson and his family to its core. Tucker's passing changed his perspective on life forever. It gave him a purpose. In the 10 years since Tucker's passing, Dyson has been fueled by a desire to play for those who can't. Dyson's journey has led him down a path of great success, all the way to the NLL. Now, on the biggest stage of professional box lacrosse, Dyson plays for Tucker and with a desire to be the next great Williams in the NLL.
