The man who has changed the narrative of this indoor lacrosse enterprise in Neon Uncasville is a teacher. Of course, you say. Coaching is teaching. But Glenn Clark, the first-year coach of the New England Black Wolves, is an actual teacher. Physical education at the Bayview Secondary School, Richmond Hill, Ontario.

Kind of a hoot, no? By day, he’s dealing with eye-rolling high school kids on the banks of Lake Ontario, in a high school whose walls are perhaps adorned with inspirational quotes and this-is-how-you-get-to-college paraphernalia. A high school, a place of learning, with all the “collaborative efforts,” “learning communities” “synergistic effects” and whatever other technobabble comes within the educational process.

Then it’s the weekend and Clark’s in a casino on the banks of the Thames 500 miles away, looking at an arena with scantily clad cheerleaders, music loud enough to awaken Jimmy Hoffa, grown men wearing masks chasing each other with sticks in pursuit of a little white ball and otherwise normal humans howling like wolves intermittently.

They should make a movie.

“Lots of travel and very busy,” Clark says of his two jobs.

He must be doing something right. The Black Wolves have become another successful endeavor of the Mohegan Tribe, turning the inaugural 4-win season into a duller ache with the playoffs in Year Two. More than that, though, is the eye-popping individual achievements that have helped the Wolves to 10 wins and a playoff game Friday at Mohegan Sun Arena.

Under Clark:

Evan Kirk and his 620 saves are seventh in the history of the league in a single season. His nine wins are a career high.

Kevin Crowley: career highs in assists and points.

Pat Saunders: career highs in goals, assists, points and loose balls.

Kyle Buchanan: a career high in goals.

Kevin Buchanan: a career high in points.

The Black Wolves entered Sunday’s game — an eventual loss — a win short of earning the most victories in franchise history, including its time in Philadelphia. The 21 goals they scored against Georgia (Friday’s opponent) earlier this season is the most in the franchise since Feb 1, 2002.

“I didn’t know much about him before the season. As a player you come in open-minded,” Saunders said. “Obviously, he was a player (a three-time all-star and part of five National Lacrosse League championship teams in Toronto from 1999-2005) and you respect that. From day one, all the guys respected him. We all buy in. Such a great mind. He knows how to get certain guys going. At the end of the day, he keeps you accountable.

“Our management did a great job bringing in this staff. They’ve all won championships, all have great lacrosse minds and they let us use our skill and play to our strong points. We’re not gripping our sticks if we make a mistake. They make you a better player.”

By day, Clark teaches his high school kids about fitness classes. He wants them to know their way around a weight room, track their results and make their own workouts, so, as he says, “they can walk into any health club and feel comfortable.”

Saunders sort of said the same thing about Clark’s approach with the Wolves: Suddenly, everyone here is comfortable.

“My approach is always about information. Being disciplined and being purposeful,” Clark said. “You try to anticipate pitfalls. The intensity here is obviously ratcheted up. I don’t have that kind of intensity when I teach. But here, that’s what the job entails. You stay true to your personality in both environments. Even when I coach high school sports and younger kids’ sports, I’m actually quite quiet and reserved. It’s time and place, right?”

The time and place now is Friday night. The first playoff appearance for the franchise since 2013. Lots of anticipation this week for Glenn Clark. But first, it’s back to Richmond Hill, Ontario, the town that produced speed skater Elvis Stojko.

Lots of travel, very busy.

But then, the man who changed the narrative here wouldn’t have it any other way.

This is the opinion of Day sports columnist Mike DiMauro.
