Gaston rejoins the Knighthawks after being released from the team’s practice squad at last season’s trade deadline. The Welland, Ontario, native is one of the greatest attackmen to ever come out of the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). In four years, Gaston scored 229 goals and 315 total points, both second-most in program history. In his junior year, he set RIT’s single-season points record. He was a three-time All-American, earning third-team honors as a sophomore before earning first-team honors as a junior and senior. He was also a three-time all-conference first-team selection.
He was selected 85th overall (sixth round) by the Knighthawks in the 2025 NLL Entry Draft. He spent two seasons of Junior “A” lacrosse with the St. Catharines Athletics (2018-19) and two with the Toronto Beaches (2021-22). In 2022, he collected six points (1+5) in four Minto Cup games. He also played two seasons with the Junior “B” St. Catharines Spartans, posting 31 goals and 44 assists for 75 points in 28 games.
More recently, he played three summers of box lacrosse in the Upstate Collegiate Box Lacrosse League. He was a member of the Armory for two seasons. In his final season in 2024, he scored 20 goals and added seven assists for 27 points in six games. In 2025, he played for the UCBLL’s Hawkeyes at the 2025 National Collegiate Box Series (NCBS) National Championships. He posted eight goals and chipped in three assists in five games.
In the fall of last year, Gaston was a training camp standout, scoring five goals and notching three assists in three games. This past summer, he continued that offensive output in the box for the Senior "B" Tonawanda Braves. In 15 games between the regular season and playoffs, Gaston scored 30 goals and dished out 23 assists. He led Tonawanda in scoring during his 10 playoff games, with 18 goals and 16 assists.
He also spent part of the summer coaching the Rochester Hawkeyes as their offensive coach in the National Collegiate Box Series Championship. He helped the team make the NCBS Finals while coaching alongside Ryland Rees and Taylor Jensen.
