Summer lacrosse is often met with Mother Nature attempting to steal the show. Friday night’s PLL game between the Whipsnakes and Redwoods was one of those games. Tied at three at the of the first quarter, and with the sun still trying to shine, the game was postponed for lightning in the area. The delay didn’t hamper the Whipsnakes, who roared back from a 9-8 third quarter deficit to win…
Tim Troutner went fishing in the ‘Woods on Saturday evening and caught a big one. He pounced on every Whipsnakes’ shot and came up with a huge 13-7 win that sent Redwoods LC into first place with a 4-2 record, partially due to his .710 save percentage. After the game, Troutner spoke about his performance. Of course, he focused on the giving accolades to everyone other than himself. “I just wanted…

It was a bad day to be a Whipsnake. Chrome Lacrosse Club picked up their first win of the season on Sunday with a decisive 16-6 victory over the defending champions.

Zed Williams, injured on Friday, did not…
Cannons Lacrosse Club struggled against Atlas LC on Sunday afternoon at Homewood Field, losing 18-17 despite a valiant effort from Lyle Thompson at the buzzer.

A goalless game has only happened one other time…

Brandon Miller retired from the National Lacrosse League much like he began his lacrosse career – quietly making an impact and moving on to do great things. And, if it seems like history is repeating itself, that is because it is. It is no longer Miller Time in Philadelphia. Miller first retired after the 2018 season where he’d been with the Toronto Rock for four and a half years after…

Thirty-eight per cent of their picks were from Johns Hopkins as the Wings seem to be banking on local connections to support their fan base. Most of their picks also have a great mix of box and field experience. Their first pick was the 16th selection in the draft, the last pick of the first round. They…
Orangeville, Ontario is a small town approximately 80 km (that’s 40 miles for our American friends) outside of Toronto. It is not a huge area, home to around 29,000 people. It is a pretty little town similar in many ways to other Canadian towns. Most people outside of the lacrosse world probably wouldn’t give it a second thought; however, lacrosse greats of the past and the present are changing that….
