He is also the current head coach of the [Brampton Excelsiors](/source/Brampton_Excelsiors_(MSL)) of [Major Series Lacrosse](/source/Major_Series_Lacrosse). A native of [Brampton, Ontario](/source/Brampton,_Ontario), Teat's long lacrosse career began when he was five years old in the Brampton Minor Lacrosse Association. He made his debut with the [Brampton Jr. Excelsiors](/source/Brampton_Excelsiors_Jr._A) of the [Ontario Junior A Lacrosse League](/source/Ontario_Junior_A_Lacrosse_League) in 1988, winning the league's rookie of the year award. Teat began playing for the [Major Excelsiors](/source/Brampton_Excelsiors_(MSL)) of [Major Series Lacrosse](/source/Major_Series_Lacrosse) in 1993, once again winning his league's rookie of the year award. His association with the Excelsiors would last over two decades, and he was a forward on squads that won [Mann Cup](/source/Mann_Cup) championships in 1993, 1998, 2002, 2008 and 2009.[1] Teat's 211-game MILL/NLL career began in 1997 with the [Rochester Knighthawks](/source/Rochester_Knighthawks), with whom he won the [Champion's Cup](/source/Champion's_Cup) in his rookie year. He was left unprotected in the 2001 Expansion Draft, and was picked up by the [Columbus Landsharks](/source/Columbus_Landsharks), who promptly dealt him to the [Albany Attack](/source/Albany_Attack) for [Ken Montour](/source/Ken_Montour) and [Mat Giles](/source/Mat_Giles).[2] He spent the next three years with the Attack in Albany, and moved with them as the club became the [San Jose Stealth](/source/San_Jose_Stealth). Teat then moved on to the [Buffalo Bandits](/source/Buffalo_Bandits), where he played from 2005 to the middle of the 2008 season when he was dealt, along with a second round pick in the 2008 draft and a first round pick in the 2009 draft, to the [Edmonton Rush](/source/Edmonton_Rush) for [Mike Accursi](/source/Mike_Accursi).[3] Teat led the Rush in scoring in 2009, and was traded to the [Philadelphia Wings](/source/Philadelphia_Wings) for [Derek Malawsky](/source/Derek_Malawsky) after the season.[4] He spent 2010 with the Wings, and signed on with the [Boston Blazers](/source/Boston_Blazers) prior to the 2011 season. Teat joined the Blazers for the first week of training camp before announcing his retirement from the NLL.[5] Teat also represented Scotland in the inaugural [World Box Lacrosse Championship](/source/World_Lacrosse_Box_Championships).[6][7] Since retiring from the playing turf, Teat has been the head coach of the Jr. A Excelsiors and the head coach of the Major Excelsiors, with whom he won a sixth Mann Cup in 2011. His 25-year association with the Excelsiors ended in 2013.[8] Teat currently serves as an assistant coach with the Panthers.[9] In the NLL, he also served as an assistant coach for the [Buffalo Bandits](/source/Buffalo_Bandits) and the [Panther City Lacrosse Club](/source/Panther_City_Lacrosse_Club).[10] His son [Jeff](/source/Jeff_Teat) is currently a professional lacrosse player for [New York Atlas](/source/New_York_Atlas) and the [Ottawa Black Bears](/source/Ottawa_Black_Bears). ## References 1.
