Blaze Riorden Bio
Blaze Riorden is widely regarded as the toughest goalie to shoot on in professional lacrosse. He’s currently the starting goalie and captain of Chaos Lacrosse Club in the Premier Lacrosse League (PLL), and also plays forward for the Philadelphia Wings in the National Lacrosse League (NLL).
In the PLL, Blaze has earned Goalie of the Year honors five times (2019–21, 2023–24), was the PLL MVP in 2021, and was voted the #1 player by his peers in 2021. He led Chaos to the 2021 PLL Championship, earning Finals MVP, and continues to dominate in net—recently setting a single-game record with 25 saves and topping the league in total saves.
Unique in his career, Blaze excels in both codes of lacrosse—field and box. As a forward in the NLL, he tallied 43 points (21 goals, 22 assists) in 18 games during the 2022–23 season, and has surpassed 300 career NLL points .
At the University at Albany, Blaze was a standout All-American goalie, famously scoring a coast-to-coast goal against Cornell in the NCAA Tournament. He set the program record with 849 career saves and was named America East Defensive Player of the Year in 2016.
A native of Fairport, New York, Blaze now resides in Philadelphia, PA, where he continues to push the boundaries of what a lacrosse goalie can do—across both professional leagues.
