Janczyk retired as one of the most success lacrosse coaches in NCAA history. He remains third in coaching victories among all divisions of NCAA men’s lacrosse with 477 wins against just 150 losses for a .761 winning percentage. He posted a 432-126 (.774) record in 34 years at Gettysburg, never recording a losing season at Gettysburg and posting no fewer than 11 wins in 26 of 34 years under his direction. He coached the Bullets to an appearance in the Centennial Conference (CC) playoffs all 19 years the league held a conference tournament, reaching the championship game 16 times. He guided the Bullets to the national semifinals 11 times with his 2001, 2002, and 2009 squads making it to the national championship game. Janczyk was honored in 2001 with the Babe Kraus Award as the Division III Coach of the Year after guiding the program to its first-ever national title game appearance. A 19-time conference champion, he coached 163 USILA All-America selections and 199 All-CC honorees that included 14 Players of the Year. He coached the program’s first-ever Division III overall national player of the year when long-stick midfielder Tommy Kehoe ’09 won the Iroquois National Award in 2009. In 2008, Janczyk won the USILA Howdy Myers Man of the Year Award, presented to an individual who has contributed to the game of lacrosse in a capacity over and above the normal efforts and has shown unselfish and untiring devotion to the game. He was inducted into the Hobart Hall of Fame in 2010, the Rochester Chapter of the U.S. Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2013 and the IMLCA Hall of Fame in 2023.
