It is playoff time for the Voyageurs! Last Tuesday was the first game of the best of three semi-final series against the Montreal Phoenix. We knew this one was going to be difficult for a couple of reasons. First of all the Phoenix is a very competitive team that won’t give you an inch. I’ve read many articles this year talking about how much they’ve improved with stronger offense and…

This past weekend was a hot one. I don’t think I’ve ever played a game in such a warm temperature in my whole lacrosse career. Somebody told me it was around 40 Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) Saturday when we started the game and it pretty much stayed as hot for the entire weekend. With a win on Saturday or Sunday we would have clinched first place in the QSLL. Unfortunately we…
This past weekend was a big one for our team and for the organization as a whole. First of all we hosted the Johnny Mourandian indoor lacrosse clinic on Thursday and Friday at the Essex Skating Facility. Johnny is the GM of the Philadelphia Wings as some of you may know and one of the most passionate lacrosse people I’ve ever met. On Thursday morning I’ve had the chance to…
As I write this its 4am Monday morning and I’m waiting for my flight back to Charlotte, a little early to say the least, but I have to work this morning and it’s not too strange of an occurrence for lacrosse players trying to maximize their chance to play at every opportunity. Especially indoor players, a high level box lacrosse game summertime in Charlotte doesn’t just find you. So myself…
This past weekend the Vermont Voyageurs hosted the USA Developmental team. It was a good opportunity for some of our players to showcase what they can do in different situations. I think the team did good overall and we ended the weekend one and one. I was the backup for the weekend, letting the chance to two of our goalies to show what they can do in a senior game….
Kevin Biggs was named the head coach of the Montreal Phoenix before the start of the 2012 Quebec Senior Lacrosse League season. I talked to him last night, and he said he was enjoying the season. “It has been great so far” he said “Our team, I could not expect anything more at this point in the season.We have a very young team and most guys have not played at…
Flowers to my teammates It’s Monday already. I’ve got a pile of work to do, this blog to write and I have one day to recover before heading back to the gym. It’s a good life, especially when we are wining like we’ve been lately. The Voyageurs are 3-0-1 since the last 4 games coming out of a 1-0-1 weekend against the Injuns (Tie 10-10) and the Muskies (Win 17-9)….
