Besides for Ohio, which is on the Eastern end of the Midwest, the region is relatively untouched by the MLL. One would expect the league would want to change that, especially with talks of the league trying to expand outside of the East. Could a city like St. Louis be a possibility down the road? Geographically it does make sense. It gives Denver a team that is closer than any…
One of the more active teams so far in the NLL Off-Season has been the Buffalo Bandits, who are going forward with new GM Steve Dietrich. It appears that Dietrich is trying to make his mark, already making many moves to retain players and acquire new ones. Today we’re going to be taking a look at those views and I’ll give you my spin on each of them. On offense…
The MLL has tried venturing into California before, but the outcome was not so successful. The San Francisco Dragons and Los Angeles Riptide joined the league in 2006, but only lasted two seasons. That has many wondering if the league will ever return to the Golden State, especially as a part of their expansion plans in the coming years. Only four MLL franchises have ever straight up folded, and they…
Yesterday news came out that the Bandits goaltender Michael Thompson would be retiring from the league after a solid seven season career in the NLL. Last season Thompson lost the starting job to acquisition Anthony Cosmo, who was franchised two days ago by the team. The team had a goaltender controversy that is made much easier by the retirement of Thompson, who played six seasons in Buffalo. Recently fans may…
Today we start our new features, Coaches Corner, where we talk to coaches around the league about their teams and any other story lines associated with the team. We start off the series with one of the newer professional lacrosse head coaches, Randy Fraser. Fraser was announced as the first head coach of the New Jersey Rascals, one of the four members of the Professional Lacrosse League. Fraser comes with…

It features players from all the major lacrosse outlets, as a way of showing what the lacrosse world would look like if lacrosse was one of the major sports in North America. Welcome back to the InLax Lacrosse League, striding closer and closer…
The Olympics are in full swing in London with the best athletes in the world showing off their abilities. If you are a frequent reader of the site, at some point you probably thought about the lack of lacrosse in the Olympics. Is it realistic to think that someday it could possibly happen? Field lacrosse has actually been in the Olympics twice, in 1904 and 1908. Both times there were…
This week has been a very interesting week in the NLL, with activity heating up as get closer to the draft. Earlier in the week I took a look at the Kyle Ross trade, and today I will look at the rest of the moves made. This includes Williams being moved from Edmonton to Minnesota for draft picks, being packaged with Doran to Buffalo, and Paul Rabil moving to the…
Yesterday was full of lacrosse news, including the NLL. Two trades went down in the matter of hours, but one really stood out. The Minnesota Swarm sent Kevin Ross to the Philadelphia Wings for a first round pick in the 2015 NLL draft. Today we will step back and look at what this trade really means to both sides. The Philadelphia Wings showed flashes of brilliance last season, but at…
The Bandits had a disappointing season last year, but its a new year and changes can be made. The Bandits sit with the third overall pick in this years draft, the highest they have drafted since 2006 when they selected Brett Bucktooth. The Bandits are in a good spot to add a solid young player, something that an aging team desperately needs. What do the Bandits need to acquire in…
