During the 2004 season, Powell finished second on the Rattlers with 57 points (32 goals, 24 assists, 1 two-point goal).

2005 was a career year for Powell. He led the Rattlers in scoring and ranked second in the league with 57 points (27 goals, 30 assists). His 30 assists were second in the league behind Conor Gill's 34, and was named Offensive Player of the Week three times in the final four weeks of the season.

Powell finished the 2007 regular season tied with Mark Millon for the league's career points lead with 305 points and was named MLL Offensive Player of the Year. On June 10, 2008, he became the all-time leading scorer in Major League Lacrosse eclipsing Mark Millon's mark.^[3]Powell is the MLL's all-time assist leader (138), and ranks second in Rochester history in points scored (184), goals scored (96) and assists (86).

Powell was named to the All-MLL team in 2005, and is a three-time MLL All-Star (2001-03).

Casey and his brothers sat out the 2009 MLL season, as they did not report to their teams as of April 1st contract deadline.

Powell was the first overall draft choice of the Rochester Knighthawks in the 1998 National Lacrosse League entry draft and played two seasons for the Knighthawks. He was traded to the Buffalo Bandits in 2001 and signed a contract, but never reported.^[4] In 2003, the Bandits traded him to the Anaheim Storm.^[4] Powell led the Storm in scoring and was named to the All-Star team in both the 2004 and 2005 seasons.

The Storm suspended operations after the 2005 season, and Powell was chosen second overall by the Portland LumberJax, although he elected not to play in the 2006 season. In September 2006, Powell was traded yet again, this time to the expansion New York Titans,^[5] and was named to the All-Star team in 2007, 2008, and 2009.
