There are only 56 players drafted into the National Lacrosse League with nine teams in the league. Not all of those players will be on a roster in 2012, or ever even see time in the highest level of indoor lacrosse. It takes a long time to become one of the best of the best, and if you are selected to be a part of the top league, you are…

According to this source, the Sabertooths and Dragonfish had agreed on a tentative basis to play a Championship game in Omaha. However, it was then moved…
According to a source with knowledge of the situation, the Toronto Rock and Rochester Knighthawks will play a pre season game in Montreal, Quebec on December 15th at the Bell Centre, the home of the Montreal Canadiens. The last time there was a pro lacrosse team in Montreal was 2002. There had been talks of a Montreal team in CLax, but it never came to suffice. There have been pre…
Grade: C+ Picks:Â Colton Clark, Alex Demopolous, Jaeden Gastaldo The Mammoth had only three picks in this draft, making it kind of hard to give them a proper grade. It is lower just because of the lack of picks. Both Clark and Demopolous are good lacrosse players. Clark has as much experience as anyone in the draft after playing with the Burnaby Lakers of the Western Lacrosse Association for the past…
Grade:Â B- Picks:Â Joe Resetarits, Matthew Dinsdale, Jackson Decker, Chad Cummings, Curtis Pridham, Miles Dennit. The Roughnecks already were a pretty solid team, with the goaltender of the year, some solid defensive players and a very good offense. They could have used someone to set some picks and create some space (ahem Carter Bender), but overall they got some pretty good players in the draft last night. They had their eyes on…

It’s a tour of professional lacrosse players. It’s just two teams that play each other. On Saturday they were in Salt Lake City, Utah and Team STX beat Team Sole, 16-14. Who are some big names in…
Winners Minnesota Swarm- Hard not to have a good draft with four first rounders and three of them being in the top four.

They also got Matt Gibson, the MLL rookie of the year and he has experience in the WLA as well. Sam Bradman was a risky pick but he could…

The MILA Championship and playoffs are set to be hosted this weekend, but not exactly as it might have been expected. The Dragonfish were set to host the playoffs, but Colorado was not able to do that. The playoffs were then moved to Milwaukee as a better overall facility and to cheapen things for costs for the Sabertooths. In the end, the playoffs will be in Grand Rapids. The Dragonfish…
