NLL Pre Season: Stealth Get Past Mammoth

December 7, 2015

(Photo: Vancouver Stealth) No lead in the NLL is safe, even in Sunday afternoon preseason scrimmages, as the Colorado Mammoth found out. The Mammoth lead for three quarters until the Vancouver Stealth pulled ahead late in the fourth quarter to win the game 9-8.

With a hungry, competitive preseason roster that contained rookies in the double digits for the Stealth but the goal scoring remained with the veterans.

Deadlocked in virtually every single way with the Peterborough Lakers, the Victoria Shamrocks may be closer to bringing lacrosse’s holy grail back to the west coast since they last did so in 2005. But a cautionary tale for the Shamrocks lies ahead, who led the Six Nations Chiefs 2-1 in the past two Mann Cup’s, only to lose three straight games both years.

The overhaul of the Vancouver Stealth wasn’t just relegated to rebuilding a porous defence, but to give the offence more depth, balance and options at the disposal of head coach Dan Perreault.
