George Herbert LaFrance III (born September 24, 1965) is a former Arena Football League (AFL) offensive specialist. In a playing career lasting twelve years, he played for the Detroit Drive (1988-1993), the Tampa Bay Storm (1994-1999), and the New Jersey Red Dogs (2000). In 2002, he served as general manager of the San Diego Riptide.[1]
LaFrance attended Baker University in Baldwin City, Kansas, where he played as a wide receiver for two years.[2]
LaFrance is in the AFL Hall Of Fame, and in ArenaBowl IX, wearing #25 for the Storm, became the only player to ever win ArenaBowl MVP 3 times. LaFrance is the career leader in Tampa Bay Storm all-purpose yards with over 20,000.
In 2012, the 47-year-old LaFrance cited his desire to return to the AFL after 12 seasons of retirement.[3] LaFrance stated, "You can always think. I'm in good shape. It would be during the playoffs. What team I'm looking at, I don't know. A team that's ready. I'll keep that wide open."
LaFrance is currently athletic director at Navajo Technical University in Crownpoint, New Mexico.[4]
