The 2013 Fann Cup has come to an end. And as usual, a great time was had by all. Not only was the water, Gatorade, soft drinks, and other adult beverages poured, but the sweat poured from every player in this lacrosse tournament as they raised money in memory of Tyler Kopp. The totals for the weekend will not be known for a few weeks.
The “official” start of the annual Fann Cup lacrosse tournament starts Friday night , but for some, including myself it has started. I will post a daily blog trying to keep you informed of some of the fun and activities that make this tournament fun. Thursday July 11, 2013… Road Trip to Rochester. After working for three hours at my job (longest 3 hours ever), I stop home to pick…
The NLL season may be over, but that doesn’t stop over 200 fans getting together annually for a lacrosse tournament known as FANN CUP. This years host will be the city of Rochester and the Rochester Krewhawks fans of the 2012-13 Champion Rochester Knighthawks. This yearly event started back in 2002 with 2 teams.

As the Stealth franchise approaches its 15 year anniversary it will have a new home. The Vancouver Stealth will open the 2014 season in the Langley Event Center in Langley BC.

With the draft about three months away and the Philadelphia Wings not picking until round 3 (19 & 22 overall) the wish list is kind of thin. This draft the Wings could have had the fourth and thirteenth overall pick, but they will go to the Edmonton Rush via the Brodie Merrill trade and the Kevin Ross deal respectively. So fans will be saying we could have had….but then they…
On June 28, 2012 the lacrosse world lost a great man, Chris Sanderson. Now on Jun 8, 2013 (345 days) later we mourn the passing of another. Kyle Miller passed away at the very young age of 31 after a long battle with Osteosarcoma cancer. Miller, an Orangville, Ontario native, was actually inspired to play goalie after seeing Sanderson, a native of the same town, doing it at the University…
The 2013 NLL season has come to an end. The same exact end as 2012. Rochester Knighthawks winning the Champions Cup, and Wings fans once again looking at a 7-9 finish and a first round exit in the playoffs to the Knighthawks. As the 2012 season drew near, we seen the Dawson’s change address, we seen 8 goalies in camp, and saw the departure of a young goalie Steve Fryer…
The end of the 2012 NLL season could not come quick enough for the Washington Stealth and their fans. A 4-12 record (2-6 home & road), and losing their last 4 games, had fane wondering… “What happened to the team in 2010-2011?!” Yes, I am referring to the Stealth who won the Champions Cup in 2010, and returned to defend in 2011, but fell to the Toronto Rock. As…
As the 2013 NLL season came to a close we saw the Rochester Knighthawks do something that hasn’t been done in 10 yrs. Win back-to-back titles. Now the question is can the Knighthawks make history by winning three in a row? That part of history will have to wait about twelve months. This year’s history talk was about the man between the pipes for the Champion Knighthawks. MATT VINC!! In…
