Jan as he is better known as a 3 sport athlete and was recently inducted into his hometown Peterborough Sports Hall of Fame and has been involved in all levels of lacrosse from local, to internationally. While many athletes are usually specialists, in a position Jan was a complete player. He was very strong defensively and yet usually ranked in the top third of his team in scoring. He quarterbacked the power play from the point and played on the short man team when “ragging” the ball. He was always one of the best on retrieving loose balls, a skill that requires, speed, strength, and courage. Jan was the prototype player that a coach could build a team around. Jan is reputed to have the hardest shot in Canada among lacrosse players among junior and senior of that era albeit an unfortunately teenage accident resulting from horseplay left him with a damaged wrist that required four bouts of surgery and required him to wear a brace for the remainder of his playing career. The shot may not have been quite as hard as it once was, but he still enjoyed a very successful career. Championships seemed to gravitate to Jan. He won two Minto Cups in Peterborough, a professional Championship in Rochester, a Mann cup with New West and a Mann Cup with Peterborough, along with a Canadian Field Lacrosse Championship in Peterborough. In his entire career he was always a major contributor. His health forced him to sit out on two additional Mann Cups in Peterborough due to knee injuries/surgeries.

Additionally to his wrist problems, he has endured a total of six knee operations, and two extremely serious surgeries on the vertebrae in his neck. His Physician has concluded that while a third spinal operation would relieve pain and increase mobility it is too dangerous to move forward.
