[edit] Career
Thorpe has been a member of the Rochester Knighthawks since the teams inaugural season in 1995.[2] He is the only member of the original team still with the Knighthawks. During the 2007 NLL season, Thorpe was named team captain, in the absence of injured Mike Hasen, and helped led his team to the winning the Champion's Cup.
In August 2008, Thorpe was named the new GM of the Knighthawks.[3] It was announced at the time that he had retired from playing to take the GM job,[3] but in November, Thorpe signed a playing contract, becoming the first player-GM in NLL history.[4]
Thorpe gave up his front-office duties after the season, and it appeared his playing career was over as well, but in the first week of February 2010, he was re-signed to the Knighthawks roster to provide experience and physicality on the defense.
A product of the Syracuse Orange lacrosse program, Thorpe had also played with the Rochester Rattlers for the teams initial six seasons before retiring. He was initially acquired by the Rattlers in the 10th round of the 2001 MLL Supplemental Draft.
Internationally, Thorpe represented Team USA in the 2002 and 2004 Heritage Cup, and also won a bronze medal with Team USA in the 2007 World Indoor Lacrosse Championships.
[edit] Coaching
Thorpe was a player-coach for the Rochester Rattlers in 2006[2], before becoming a Head Coach for the Six Nations Arrows of the Ontario Junior A Lacrosse League before the 2007 summer season.[5]
He also coaches the Jordan-Elbridge High School lacrosse team.
