Going into the 2014 season, we expected to see a down year for American players with so many of them opting to instead play just MLL and with Team USA. However, those few Americans who have played this season have been very impressive. Still, with so few Americans left in the NLL, let’s take a look at how they have all fared. Philadelphia consistently has the most Americans in the…
Both the Buffalo Bandits and Vancouver Stealth are facing an oddity in the National Lacrosse League as both teams will not play for three weeks, not back in action until March 8.

It seems like goaltending has been a problem for the Colorado Mammoth for the past five years. Starting with the struggles of Andrew Leyshon, they ended up later relying on Chris Levis and Matt Roik, and this season went into it with minimal net experience. Their two goaltenders were set to be Tye Belanger, who missed most of last season with injury, and rookie Dillon Ward. Ward was the third…
Brandon Miller has missed some time this season; in fact, he hasn’t played a single game in 2014 with his team, the Philadelphia Wings, as there was a holdout situation. He came to terms with them last night and now the Wings have their goalie back. We caught up with him to discuss his return. Excited to be back with the Wings? Absolutely, being a Wing has always meant so…
The NLL suspension reports are in going into week seven. Joel McCready, transition man for the Rochester Knighthawks, will miss the Rochester tilt vs Buffalo this week due to a one game suspension. That suspension is in response to a post game altercation last week with Edmonton transition Jeremy Thompson. Rochester will also miss forward Stephen Keogh this week.
