MLL: Cannons hoping for booming success in 2020

July 18, 2020

The Boston Cannons are hoping that 2020 is an explosive season that ends with them raising a championship trophy. The Cannons appear to have several advantages going into this season. The first advantage they have is two returning goalies. Both Nick Marrocco and Don Madonna spent time between the pipes for the Cannons and know the calibre of play needed to walk away with the win. A second advantage is that Boston…

The Denver Outlaws open the 2020 MLL campaign versus the Connecticut Hammerheads tonight at 7 p.m. Denver lost the championship last season by a single goal so have lofty expectations for this shortened season. However, with Dillon Ward and Zach Currier defecting to the PLL, the Outlaws will have to draw on their other big guns this season if they want to win another championship. John Grant Jr. is back…

The Chesapeake Bayhawks are anxious to play the 2020 season on their home field at Navy Marine-Corps Memorial Stadium as the reigning Major League Lacrosse champions. They are also hoping to swoop in for a repeat championship this season. Although a lot of fan favourites and perennially dominating players will be back, the coaching staff changed in the off season and one has to wonder if that will impact the team…

The Connecticut Hammerheads hope to prey on weaker teams during their inaugural season in Major League Lacrosse to get the job done and finish at the top of the league. After technically moving from Dallas this winter, they’ll have to do this with a plethora of new faces—especially on defense. The Hammerheads will rely on Greg Weyl’s defense and professional lacrosse experience to drive the defense and stop shots against many…

MLL: Barrage ready to start new Philadelphia legacy

A “barrage” is a bombardment; a shower or shelling; an offensive onslaught. And the newly reinstated Philadelphia Barrage of Major League Lacrosse are hoping they can live up to the name. They’ll quickly learn if they have a wide range of relentless talent when they start their season against the Chesapeake Bayhawks in the inaugural game of the 2020 season. The Barrage may quickly have its hands full—something Philadelphia players and fans are…

ILWT Feature: In conversation with Dillon Ward

#TradeWard. Nah, we’re just kidding. Why anyone would want to trade one of the best goaltenders in the world, we have no idea. In addition to being a great keeper, Dillon Ward (not Dylan) is a truly decent person. You’d be hard pressed to find an accolade Ward hasn’t earned at any level of lacrosse, indoor or outdoor. Most recently he helped Canada capture the gold medal at the 2019…

ILWT Feature: The kaleidoscopic world of Brodie Merrill

March 24, 2020

0 comment

A kaleidoscope is a tricky device that uses light to make things that are ordinary blend together to make brilliant patterns. This describes Brodie Merrill perfectly – one of the best defenders to play the game in either field or box, but a quiet, humble person. It can be argued that Merrill paved the way for Canadian lacrosse players to come to colleges and universities in the United States in exchange…

The New England Black Wolves were on the prowl Saturday at the Wells Fargo Center and they took down their prey – the Philadelphia Wings. New England went on to win 9-7 after jumping out to a 4-2 lead in the first. The game, which was quite physical, ended as it began. Just 26 in, a scrap between Nick Chaykowsky and Steph Charbonneau broke out. It ended with another scrap…
