Tom Grimaldi was a dominant force on the Hobart lacrosse team. He helped the Statesmen win four straight national championships. The high-scoring attackman and four-year letterman finished his career ranked in the top 10 in Hobart history in career goals (10th), assists (6th), and points (7th).

After producing 27 points alongside his brother in 1982, Grimaldi enjoyed a breakthrough sophomore season, netting a career-high 37 goals and 19 assists for 56 points, a performance that earned him second-team All-America honors. His junior year saw him record 45 points (26g, 19a) on his way to first-team All-America accolades. Grimaldi was the leading scorer in the 1983 and 1984 NCAA tournaments with 19 and 13 points, respectively. Grimaldi saved his best for last, registering a career-high 62 points on 33 goals and 29 assists as a senior. The 1985 National Player of the Year repeated as a first-team All-American and earned Hobart’s Judge Kane Memorial Trophy as team MVP. To date, he ranks 11th in career assists and career points and 27th in career goals.

Grimaldi earned a bachelor’s degree in history. He was inducted into the Corning-Painted Post Sports Hall of Fame in 1988.
