If you look at the history of any major professional sports league, its past will be littered with franchises that have folded or moved. This is usually done for financial reasons as owners generally want to run a team that is (very) profitable. Sometimes where they are and the facility is the problem and sometimes the grass is simply greener on the other side. Lacrosse is absolutely no exception to…
Yesterday we were on scene at the last New England Black Wolves tryouts in Connecticut before they travel to Buffalo. Our Ryan Conwell brought back some tape on the team.
This morning began what for most of the team is the second week of training camp. This is going to be the first weekend with just the full team as last week featured several free agents trying for spots. Nearly all players were in attendance for the morning session, with less than a handful missing, but they should be set to go for the evening and Sunday practices. The Black…

On Friday, November, 7th, Providence College held an intra-squad scrimmage to give their players some live action as the fall calendar winds down.

This afforded us the chance to see plenty of players and…

This clinic was also featured last fall in the midst of a major facilities upgrade for the lacrosse program. Coming off just his second season as a head coach, Coach Chris Gabrielli is using these clinics to both promote the emerging program and to help grow…
Ryan Conwell goes one on one with Boston Box Lacrosse League co founder Chuck Jaffe about the latest news and notes from the league.
This is the time of year when there is a lull in the professional lacrosse world. The MLL has wrapped up and the NLL preseason hasn’t officially started. Right about now is typically when the LXM Pro Tour has started up in the past to bring high level lacrosse to non-traditional areas around the country. We reached out to Adrenaline, who is the force behind LXM to see what their…
Transition is an interesting position in the NLL. Every team approaches it differently as some make them glorified defenders or just forwards that won’t get yelled at if they are stuck in the back end of the floor. Others such as Minnesota and Buffalo make them a large part of how they want to act as a team by causing turnovers, pushing the ball up the floor and creating mismatches…
