Entering his eighth NLL season and fifth with the Knighthawks, Connor Fields is one of the best lacrosse players in the world. Last season, he ranked second in the league in points (119) and led all forwards with 135 loose-ball recoveries. His 41 goals tied him for seventh best in the league, and his 78 assists tied for fourth.
With his numbers last season, he became the first player ever to record 110+ points and loose-ball recoveries in four consecutive seasons. He’s one of only three forwards with over 100 points in each of the last four seasons, and he has led all forwards in loose-ball recoveries each of those seasons.
He won the NLL MVP award in 2025 after tallying 46 goals and 76 assists along with 148 loose-ball recoveries. He ranked fourth in goals, sixth in assists, and first among forwards in loose balls. In 2023-24, he broke 150 loose-ball recoveries for the first time in his career (158). He also ranked second in the league in goals that season (56). The year before, his first in Rochester, he led all Knighthawks in goals (52) and assists (60), and was second in loose-ball recoveries (142).
Now an established veteran of the league, Fields finds good company in the record lists he is on. His 453 career points currently rank him seventh in scoring all-time amongst American players. After the 2024-25 season, he became the second player ever, along with Buffalo’s Dhane Smith, to score 100 points in three consecutive seasons. The year before, he became the first player since John Tavares in 2001 to record more than 115 points and 150 loose-ball recoveries in a season.
Fields was drafted 10th overall in the 2018 NLL Entry Draft by San Diego.
Fields has led the Knighthawks in scoring every year that he’s been with the team. Before entering the League, he was a four-year starter at the University of Albany. He put up one of the best freshman seasons ever, setting an NCAA freshman record with 66 goals in 19 games. He was a USILA All-American First team selection as a junior and senior. He was a nominee for the Tewaaraton as a sophomore and senior, and was a finalist his junior year in 2017.
Along with his NLL career, Fields has played nine seasons of professional field lacrosse. He’s a four-time all-star and two-time first-team All-Pro of the Premier Lacrosse League. He’s also a two-time champion with the Archers in 2023 and 2024.
