After a disappointing end to the 2012 season, the Colorado Mammoth continued that downward spiral dropping their home opener to the Washington Stealth last weekend 17-13. The biggest lead Washington took on the Mammoth was 8 goals in the third quarter. The Mammoth will have to wake up as they head to Calgary to take on the Roughnecks. Calgary themselves are in the same predicament as Colorado is. The Roughnecks…
Today the Minnesota Swarm open up shop in Oakville, Ontario at the Toronto Rock Athletic Center. 2012 saw Minnesota playing tug of war throughout the season, back and forth with winning and losing. Before their engagement into the rigorous sessions of training that the Swarm are about to embark on, they were able to sign their first round pick out of Bucknell, Brock Sorenson (1st round, 2nd overall), along with…
2012 wasn’t what Coach Garber and the Ohio Machine were looking for. However, it was looked over since the team is in their first year and players are just learning how to play with each other. Going 2-12 will make anyone agitated, but for the Machine fans, they stuck through the highs and the lows and showed their support. Not many fans would do that. Luckily for the Ohio fans,…

Peet brings his 37 with…

The Denver Outlaws 23 man protected roster has a lot of familiar faces on it, along with a new one. Their unprotected roster has some big names on it as well. Denver also decided, a week prior to the rosters being announced, that they would trade one of their top midfielders, Peet Poillon, to the Charlotte Hounds. In return, the Outlaws received a very good attackman in Jeremy Boltus. This…
The Rochester Rattlers protected 23 man roster was announced two weeks ago. A week prior to the rosters being announced, the Rattlers made a trade with the Charlotte Hounds. Billy Bitter, Kevin Randall and the Hounds 11th pick in the 2013 MLL Collegiate Draft were sent to Rochester.
