A true Buffalo athlete, John Tavares has been with the Bandits since their inaugural season.

            And since that point, Tavares has been the face of the National Lacrosse League. He is first in NLL history in goals, career points and assists. Tavares is one of the main reasons why the Bandits, Buffalo’s best professional team, clinched the 2008 NLL Championship.

            Tavares is an athlete Buffalo fans can get behind. While Terrell Owens garners the most publicity despite a lack of production, Taveres is a guy that doesn’t get much publicity despite his overall talent level and production.
