Dhane Smith
Dhane Smith (born January 22, 1992) is a Canadian professional lacrosse player for the Buffalo Bandits of the National Lacrosse League. He is also a player for the Chaos Lacrosse Club in the Premier Lacrosse League. He also plays for the Canadian men's indoor lacrosse team and the Canada men's lacrosse team.
In the NLL, he has won the MVP award twice and has won 3 consecutive championships with the Bandits from 2023 to 2025 (where he was named the championship game MVP in 23), and in 2024 set the NLL single-season assists record (101) and all-time playoffs assists record. In the PLL, he won a championship with the Chaos in 2021, and was named an All-Star in 2021 and 2023. He also won a gold medal at the 2019 World Indoor Lacrosse Championships for Canada.
He is known for his offensive effectiveness and astute passing skills and holds the current NLL single-season points record, while also simultaneously holding both the current single-season goals record and the current NLL single-season assists record.
Smith grew up in the heart of Kitchener. A lacrosse player from birth, he later in life transitioned into hockey and football, where he reached elite levels in both. Known by many as a multi-sport athlete, Smith led his high school football team to a championship final while running the offence as a gunslinging mobile quarterback.
Smith is a cousin of former NLL Defensive Player of the Year Billy Dee Smith.
Smith began his career in 2009 with the Kitchener-Waterloo Braves of the Ontario Junior A Lacrosse League, where he won the Green Gael Trophy as the league's MVP in 2012. Smith also played for the Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks of Major Series Lacrosse, and the Victoria Shamrocks of the Western Lacrosse Association.
Heading into the 2023 NLL season, Inside Lacrosse ranked Smith the #1 best forward in the NLL.
Smith declined several offers from NCAA universities and instead declared for the 2012 NLL draft. Smith was drafted fifth overall by the Bandits in the 2012 NLL Entry Draft. He began his NLL career as a transition player, but eventually switched to forward. He ranked third on the Bandits in scoring in both 2013 and 2014. In 2016, he set a Bandits record for most goals in a season and set the NLL single-season record for most points in a season. At the end of the season, Smith was named NLL MVP, becoming the first Black player to win the award.
