Last season Buchanan played with the Philadelphia Wings and had an outstanding season registering 23 goals and 46 assists in 18 games. Buchanan played along side of Kevin Crowley, Tracey Kelusky, and Garrett Thul and Jordan Hall (traded to Rochester) just to name a few. Now the question…

The New England BlackWolves have signed Kevin Croswell to be the backup to starting goaltender Evan Kirk. The question here is can he be the answer. Before the team moved from Philadelphia they have never really had a good backup. They always relied on a top number one goalie. Dallas Eliuk was the man between the pipes and fr some time had Andy “Pizza” Piazza. There have been other backups,…
This past weekend I had the priviledge of attending The 8th Annual Nicholas Colleluori Classic. A total of 14 teams participated in the two day event. Some of the top Division 1 Schools attended the event. Syracue, Bellarmine, Binghamton, Monmouth, Hartford and Hofstra highlighted day one. But what seemed to make this extra special this year was the venue of the event. The site, Ridley Senior High School in Folsom,…
When those of us in the lacrosse world hear the name Jordan Hall, the first thing that comes to mind is how he was involved in a blockbuster trade in 2012 that sent himself, Robbie Campbell, Joel White and Paul Rabil from Rochester to Philadelphia for Dan and Paul Dawson abd a first round pick in 2016. Fast forward 21 months later and Jordan Hall is back in Rochester after…

Not only by a name, or if they will be called New England or Connecticut, but by players and what style they will have. Just under 3 weeks ago they traded one of the best to ever play the game in Brodie Merrill. This was obviously done to get some draft picks back…
