From the coaching staff:
"Aidan is someone who cares deeply for the RPI men's lacrosse program. As a captain Aidan had to make some tough decisions about what was best for the program. He did not take these decisions lightly, but always had a program-first mentality. He took to heart our championship history and the expectations that were established by those before him. There is no doubt he has carried and passed on the torch of our program pillar, legacy." - March 2020

What others say:
"Aidan always had the energy and drive to lead our team even though he was not really out on the field on game day. He struggled with injuries, but he never let them get him down. He would find another way to lead the team because he was dedicated to it." - March 2020

"Always smiling." - March 2020

"Thank you for all the good memories. You were everything we wanted and needed in a captain and you made being on this team feel truly special. You had a good spirit about everything and made sure everyone was taken care of. Thank you for everything you have done for this team. Good luck in the future and keep smiling." - March 2020

"The most humble and hardworking person I have ever met. He has been a huge source of inspiration for everyone on the team." - April 2020
