I cannot trace any evidence that he has played lacrosse for the national team let alone that he is "one of Poland's best up-and-coming lacrosse stars,", here and here, for example. This reference, cited to show that he played, doesn't mention him. I have searched in English but am not able to search in Polish. Happy to withdraw if playing for the National Men's team, as opposed to a youth team, can be reliably sourced. Delete. Bridgeplayer (talk) 14:15, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete The article asserts that he has played two games this season for the national team, but the link to the national team's website makes no mention of him at all. If there's some proof, I'm happy to reconsider, but the claim to fame apparently is that he's one of the better players who might just reach the big time. Mandsford 15:18, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
