April 30, 2014

Hi ILWT Readers,   What a crazy weekend! Unless you live under a rock, you should have noticed that the MLL opened up its season in typical fashion. Week 1 offered MLL fans an incredible lacrosse experience, from high scoring offensive battles to late game near-comebacks. If you are truly passionate about lacrosse and the MLL, I would suggest catching up on any games you missed this past weekend on…

MLL 3 Stars: Buchanon, Pannell, Wiedmaier Start Off 2014

First Star Kevin Buchanon (Boston Cannons) Buchanon led the Cannons offensively against the Bayhawks providing offense early and keeping the pressure on Chesapeake throughout. Boston was led by Buchanan who scored seven goals on only eight shots. Subsequently, Buchanan was named the Coca Cola player of the game as well as the Warrior Offensive Player of the Week due to his offensive explosion. The Cannons now head on the road…

Cannons Take Opener Against Bayhawks

In their season opener, the Boston Cannons left no quarter in an impressive 15-9 win over the Chesapeake Bayhawks. Both offensively and defensively, the Cannons played a complete game, exposing some sloppy passing and inconsistent offense on behalf of the Bayhawks.

Cannons Take on Bayhawks to Open Season

April 27, 2014

The Boston Cannons open their season at home this afternoon as they take on the two-time defending champion Chesapeake Bayhawks.

Boston will have Paul Rabil in the lineup, a rarity since he typically plays NLL when the season begins, but he skipped the 2014 NLL season. Matt Poskay will be out as he is…

Chamberlain: Conference Playoffs Begin

April 24, 2014

Friday Night Lights Kicks off an action packed Weekend of College and Pro Action Patriot League Playoffs Army vs. Lehigh I like Lehigh in this matchup between two very well coached teams. Lehigh is balanced on offense and has strong goaltending with junior Matt Poillion. My prediction is Lehigh by three. Loyola vs. Colgate I made the mistake of not picking Loyola in the regular season matchup. I’m not going…

April 16, 2014

Hi ILWT Readers, Another weekend of training camp is now in the books! As I mentioned last week, the Cannons traveled out to Union College to face the Rochester Rattlers in a pre-season scrimmage. The trip to Schenectady began early Saturday morning, as all local team members met at the Cannons’ office in Allston for a planned departure at 8 am. My day started off on the wrong foot, as…
