Jay Jalbert (b. October 6, 1977) is a professional lacrosse player in the USA. He currently plays for Major League Lacrosse's Long Island Lizards.
A native of Huntington, New York, Jalbert attended University of Virginia where he was twice named first team All-American. In 1999, Jay teamed with Conor Gill to lead the Caveliers to the NCAA national title and was named to the all-tournament team. Jalbert is ranked fifth all-time on the UVA goals scored list with 112 goals in 58 games[1].
In 2006, Jalbert represented the United States national lacrosse team in the World Lacrosse Championship in London, Ontario. He had an outstanding tournament, being named Best Midfielder and earning All-World honours. His sensational goal with three seconds remaining in the round-robin clash with Canada to break the 12-12 deadlock may cruelly be forgotten amidst by Canada's historic world championship win later in the week.
Jalbert played for the New Jersey Pride during the 2001 and 2002 MLL seasons. A trade during the off season sent him to Long Island in 2003. Jalbert has played in every MLL All star game through the 2005 season.
Jalbert also plays box lacrosse in the National Lacrosse League. He has played for the Colorado Mammoth since 2004, and played for the Philadelphia Wings in 2001.
