Undefeated Mammoth Battle Stealth Saturday Night

January 23, 2016

The Colorado Mammoth (3-0) put their undefeated record on the line tonight as they travel to Vancouver to take on the Stealth (1-1). Both teams are coming off big wins last weekend—Colorado bested the Buffalo Bandits 15-14 in overtime while Vancouver took out the defending champion Saskatchewan Rush 13-11 as a result of a 4-0 fourth quarter outburst. The Mammoth have simply been outgunning opponents so far this year, scoring…

But beyond that, the traits that differ amongst each goalie’s skillset are magnified in lacrosse because it creates easily distinguishable styles of goaltending. That’s why the lack of games played in the short winter box season makes it hard to get reliable data…

Entering his ninth season in the NLL Kyle Sorenson will not even step foot on the field, at least not competitively. It was announced by Vancouver’s front office that the team Captain would miss the entire 2015 season due to rehabilitation from knee surgery. Sorenson, who has spent his entire career with the Stealth since being drafted in 2006, is no stranger to spending time on the injury list. Where…

Time to take a closer look on the draft day trade that sent Nick Weiss, and the 9th overall selection from the Vancouver Stealth to the Buffalo Bandits.

The Vancouver Stealth finished the 2014 NLL season tied for the worst record in the league, a disappointing 4-14. They were second-worst in goals for (181) and second-worst in goals against (223). Quite the fall for a team that came a goal shy of winning the Champion’s Cup just a year earlier. Over the summer the Stealth suffered another blow when head coach Chris Hall stepped down due to health…
