Congratulations Chuck!
At this time, the Indiana Lacrosse Officials Association would like to present the 2025 Season Outstanding Official of the Year Award to one of their deserving officials.
The Indiana Lacrosse Officials Association created this award in 2020 with the namesake recipient as Mr. John McGrath, thus each year the award is presented to one deserving official as the John McGrath Outstanding Official of the Year Award.
Lacrosse officials are known as the 3rd team on the field and striving to make every game safe, fair and fun. While never looking for limelight, they make these games possible. Amongst us they are everyday professionals, fathers, mothers, and grandparents…they share their love of the game as much as anyone and keep returning to the field for a thankless and demanding job.
Each year, the Indiana Lacrosse Officials Association recognizes one deserving official who best exemplifies those humanistic and professional qualities of self-discipline, loyalty, teamwork, resolve and application of fair play so characteristic of John McGrath. The 2025 recipient…is Mr. Chuck Breslin.
This was Chuck’s 20th season with officiating Lacrosse. Chuck is not only a competent official, but he’s also incredibly dedicated and reliable.
While being one of the few officials in Bloomington, He also travels throughout the state to help wherever he’s needed.
His good natured attitude has made him popular with coaches, players, and peers. He embodies the spirit that John McGrath had when he founded the Indiana Lacrosse Officials Association many years ago.
Fans, please join me in a round of applause for Chuck Breslin , the 2025 Indiana Lacrosse Officials Association Outstanding Official of the Year. Thank you.
