This Princeton commit is widely regarded as one of the top FOGOs in the 2027 class, and during the first month of the season, Lam has lived up to that hype. Across GSB’s first five games, Lam has won 63% of his face-offs. He was especially impressive against Hillsborough (NJ), where he went a perfect 11-for-11 on draws and pushed GSB to a win. Lam also posted a 13-for-20 (65%) afternoon against Hill School (PA). The combination of Lam’s quick reactions and powerful hands has repeatedly produced clean clamps. Once he has secured possession, Lam has exploded away from the face-off area and streaked into the offensive end for goals and assists. Plus, Lam has proved that he is a high-IQ prospect who values possession by not forcing the fast break and dumping the ball off to open teammates.   

Dante has built a strong early résumé as a do-it-all face-off midfielder for Gill St. Bernard’s. He got a lot more experience as the season progressed (both at the face-off dot and when staying on as a middie), winning 63 percent on the year along with 12 goals and five assists for the Non-Public B champs and going 24-for-28 in the final two games.

This past Sunday, he found a ton of success as the setup man for BBL in an anticipated matchup at the stripe. Lam has a really sturdy and strong build, and he used his combination and upper and lower body strength to counter at an exceptional level on the occasion that he lost the clamp, showing off some impressive defensive exits. Both Lam and his wings were on their A-game, helping BBL win the 50-50 balls, with Lam doing a stellar job of scrapping for loose balls. He has excellent hand speed and adjusted incredibly well throughout the game. When it comes time for the ’27s to get recruited, he’ll certainly be coveted not just for his technical acumen at the X, but for his prowess with the ball in his stick, a quality that helps set him apart.
