It is with an extremely heavy heart that we share the passing of Girl’s K-2 Coach Maddie Rioux. Maddie began playing for Valley Lacrosse as a young girl excited to learn about the sport of lacrosse, a sport with which she quickly fell in love. After completing 10 years with Valley Lacrosse, Maddie moved on to play goalie for the Syracuse City lacrosse team. Maddie’s love for lacrosse led her to her most recent position as Coach of the K-2 girl’s team, which she coached alongside her sister, Josie, and best friend Rachel DeMott. Over the last year and a half, Maddie courageously battled Grade 4 brain cancer, undergoing many different forms of treatment. Throughout her battle, Maddie continued to remain brave and determined to fight her diagnosis with everything she had. In addition to her battle with cancer, Maddie continued to stay committed to her position as a coach, sharing her love of lacrosse with her team, teaching them important skills to carry with them throughout their lacrosse career, and treating every one of her players with a love unlike any other. Maddie loved coaching the K-2 girl's team, the same team she played on years ago, and the team that helped spark her love of lacrosse. The Valley Lacrosse community will miss Coach Maddie deeply and will continue to honor her throughout the 2024 season. We ask that you please keep the Rioux family as well as the Valley Lacrosse Community in your thoughts and prayers as we process the loss of one of our own.
