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…
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. The first quarter of the game remained fairly close at just 2-0 in favor of the Cannons, but the adjustments made by Boston rendered too much for Chesapeake, who…
Yesterday after the Boston Cannons 15-9 win over the Chesapeake Bayhawks, we caught up with several players and the Bayhawks head coach Dave Cottle. Brodie Merrill Jordan Burke Will Manny Dave Cottle Jack Reid
Last season the Boston Cannons missed the playoffs, and a big cause was their struggles on defense. The 2014 offseason was spent improving that defense with the trade for Brodie Merrill from Florida and the signing of Jack Reid away from the New York Lizards. In their win over the Chesapeake Bayhawks on Sunday, defense was the key, along with goaltending, which also struggled in 2013. Jordan Burke made eight…

Boston has seen plenty of overturn in an offseason after they failed to make the playoffs. 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…
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…

See where your favorite teams stand heading into the postseason: 1) Duke (12-2)—The Blue Devils will take on Syracuse for the third time in less than a year. Wonder how these new rivals will treat each other going forward. Brendan Fowler could be in for a fight as Frank Daddio and the Orange faceoff unit have played at a high level since the ‘Syracuse Slaughter’ a month ago. 2) Loyola…
