Early life and career

Teat is the son of Maria and Dan Teat. Dan played fourteen seasons in NLL and is currently an assistant coach for Panther City Lacrosse Club.[2] Teat attended The Hill Academy, playing five seasons of lacrosse there, as well as playing Junior A lacrosse for the Brampton Excelsiors, where he recorded 145 points in his final season, the most of any OJALL player since John Grant Jr.[1]

Collegiate career

Teat arrived at Cornell in the fall of 2016 as the number one recruit in his class according to Inside Lacrosse. With the Big Red, Teat was a three time USILA All-American and two time Tewaaraton Award nominee, as well as graduating third all time in assists and points at Cornell despite his senior season being cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]

NLL career

Teat was selected first overall by the New York Riptide in the 2020 NLL Draft, although due to the pandemic, he would not make his debut until the 2021 season.

PLL Career

Teat was originally selected by Chaos Lacrosse Club in the 2020 PLL College Draft and the Boston Cannons in the same year's MLL Draft, but he opted to return to Cornell for a fifth season instead of turning pro, causing both teams to lose his draft rights.[4]

Teat was then drafted first overall by Atlas Lacrosse Club the following year, becoming the third player, after Lyle Thompson and Kevin Crowley to be selected first overall in the NLL and professional outdoor lacrosse drafts.[5] He made an immediate impact, finishing second in scoring in the league despite missing two games, and being nominated for the Jim Brown MVP Award, as well as winning the Rookie of the Year Award.[6]

International career

Teat represented Team Canada in the 2016 Under-19 World Lacrosse Championship and 2018 World Lacrosse Championship, winning a silver medal at both events.[7]
