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.
Retirement
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."[3]
LaFrance is currently athletic director at Navajo Technical University in Crownpoint, New Mexico.[4]
