MLL: Cannons Battle Rattlers in Atlanta

June 7, 2013

Both the Boston Cannons and Rochester Rattlers have been team of disappointment in 2013. The Cannons are just two years removed from their championship run while the Rattlers barely missed the 2012 playoffs. Instead, Rochester is 2-3 and Boston is 1-4. Last week the Rattlers defeated the 0-5 Ohio Machine while the Cannons were blown out against the 5-0 Denver Outlaws. This game will be the first ever professional lacrosse…

One of the most popular discussions in lacrosse today is the presence of American players in the NLL. It hit its lowest point last season with just 28 players, 18 of them on the Philadelphia Wings.
