On December 19, 2025, the Oshawa FireWolves held their first teddy bear toss at Tribute Communities Centre. Oshawa started the game hot, leading 4-1 after the first period. The teddy bear toss was supposed to be after the FireWolves’s first goal in the second period, but it was Vancouver scoring the only goal in a quiet frame, postponing the toss to after halftime. Taggart Clark scored the teddy bear goal…

Teat’s 11 points aid in Black Bears’ comeback over Wings
The Ottawa Black Bears were hunting for something with wings and they found it Saturday night, as Ottawa held off Philadelphia with a 16-12 win at Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata, ON. What is more impressive is that each team was perfect on their power plays. Ottawa was a perfect 3-3 while the Wings were a perfect 4-4. Also impressive was Brennan O’Neill’s first career sock trick (six goals) and…
Rush’s Scigliano Shines in Low-Scoring Win Over Swarm
Scoring seven goals in a National Lacrosse League game usually means you’re going to lose. But when your goalie only gives up four, it’s enough to win. And so it was for the Saskatchewan Rush on Saturday night as they took a 7-4 win over the Georgia Swarm in a contest that tied the league record for lowest-scoring regular season game. In a more dubious distinction, Saskatchewan’s 4,657 attendance was…
Desert Dogs go up big, sneak out with win
Saturday night featured some lacrosse after dark, as the late game saw the Las Vegas Desert Dogs welcome the Ottawa Black Bears to Lee’s Family Forum in Henderson, Nevada. I’ll tell you now that the Desert Dogs snuck away with a 10-9 victory, but it certainly didn’t look like it was going to be that close for a vast majority of the game. Kudos to Ottawa for not rolling over…
Knighthawks beat Wings in action-packed bout
The second game of the Week 4 slate was a dream for a lacrosse fan, as it had quite literally everything one could ask for. Scoring, as there were 26 total goals scored, physicality, 50 penalty minutes, and even a goalie fight. The Rochester Knighthawks welcomed the Philadelphia Wings to town, and let’s just say it was unlikely that both teams were hanging out together after the game. Rochester used…
Thunderbirds claw back, beat Buffalo in OT
Over 17,000+ braved the wind and snow to file into KeyBank Center on Saturday night. The hometown Bandits were back on their home floor, this time welcoming the Halifax Thunderbirds to town. This game is a must watch if you’re a lacrosse fan, as it had quite literally, everything. Scoring, stingy defense, stingier goaltending, and even some overtime. Buffalo controlled this game for the majority, but Halifax wouldn’t go away….
Strong Fourth Quarter Earns Black Bears 11-8 Win Over Rush
The Ottawa Black Bears exploded for six goals in the fourth quarter to take an 11-8 win over the Saskatchewan Rush on Friday night. Both teams are now 1-1 on the season. The first quarter was all about goaltending. Ottawa’s Zach Higgins and Saskatchewan’s Frankie Scigliano made big stop after big stop to keep the game scoreless until Sam Firth finally snuck one past Scigliano from a Jeff Teat feed…
NLL: Wings Take Flight in Home Opener Win Over Colorado
The Philadelphia Wings had a two-week bye to start the 2025-26 NLL season; whereas other teams may have seen this as an obstacle, the Wings used this time to put the final touches on a solid game plan that lifted them over Colorado 8-7 in their home opener, a game that was a nail biter for the 5,689 fans at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Philadelphia soared out nto a stunning two-goal…
