The 2016 National Lacrosse League schedule has arrived. That means us lacrosse fans have circled 18 weekends on our calendars reserved for watching as many games as possible (and attend some, if we’re lucky).

I teased about this on Twitter but, it is far too early to…

The Georgia Swarm have lost a lot this off season, but they haven’t gained very much. They’ve already seen Callum Crawford and Greg Downing leave them for the Colorado Mammoth. They have retained a few of their players, resigning Mitch Belisle, Alex Crepinsek, and Jordan Houtby. The only addition thus far for the relocated Gwinnett team is defenseman Ryan Flanagan. Flanagan, who lacks NLL experience, has been a major player…
