Professional career

In 2009, Kahoe initially elected not to declare for the Major League Lacrosse draft while waiting an appeal for a NCAA Hardship waiver, which would allow him an additional year to play football for the Syracuse football team, while completing his last year of a master's degree.[4] However, in the fall of 2009, the NCAA Hardship waiver was denied due to NCAA time clock eligibility rules. Kahoe, then declared for the National Lacrosse League draft, where he was selected by the Boston Blazers with the 33rd overall pick.[5] Soon after, the Boston Cannons of the Major League Lacrosse acquired Kahoe's rights for the 2010 season.
