It was Marvel Superhero Night in Buffalo, New York Friday night, and there were plenty of superheroes to choose from. No, not Marvel characters, actual lacrosse players that took the floor.

Like a good country song, there was heartbreak in Halifax on Friday night.  During country night, the Halifax Thunderbirds were down 12-6 with nine minutes left in the fourth quarter during their game against the Georgia Swarm. Amazingly, they came back to make the game 12-11 with 5.7 seconds left. But a controversial call and mistake at the end prevented the storybook ending.  But for Thunderbirds forward Austin Shanks, it…

For the first time since February of 2020, the Buffalo Bandits walked into Rogers Arena in Vancouver ready to battle the Warriors. These two clubs are eerily similar when it came to needing a win, badly. Buffalo, the reigning champs may I remind you, have been an injury-ridden, sputtering mess.

It’s been a minute since the Philadelphia Wings played the Calgary Roughnecks. And by a minute, that would be four years ago in the COVID shortened 2019/20 season. Back then Philadelphia was led by the likes of Kevin Crowley, Kiel Matisz, Matt Rambo and one Josh Currier. Of course, Calgary still had Curtis Dickson and Dane Dobbie sporting the red Roughneck jersey and the Riggers were fresh off their championship…
