First Round Toronto Rock (From Colorado) Minnesota Swarm Colorado Mammoth (From Rochester) Minnesota Swarm (From Edmonton) Calgary Roughnecks Minnesota…
Earlier last week Major Series Lacrosse held its draft where the Ajax Rock held the top pick. They traded that pick to the Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks, who then held the first and second overall selections. They used those picks to draft a pair of brothers. “I am very excited about being drafted to the same team as my brother.” said Jeremy Noble “I have played with him my whole life and…
Just like in the regular season, the late arrival of the Six Nations Chiefs delayed the evening. The Major Series Lacrosse draft was slated to begin at 7pm Wednesday night but representatives from the Chiefs did not arrive until closer to 7:30pm, pushing the draft back to 8pm. You can’t really blame Six Nations; they only had two picks in this year’s MSL draft so we’re lucky they even graced…

In case you missed this with all of the MLL news happening yesterday, the Canadian Lacrosse Association decided it would be a good idea to now eject players for fighting. Essentially, that’s banning fighting. Players, media, and fans do not like this, as you can see below: I wonder whose idea it was to pass the no fighting rule. You think head shots were bad before wait til this season starts. #pisspoorrule —…
According to reports, the Junior C Ontario team Innisfil Wolfpack will be moving to Newmarket and be changing their name to the Newmarket Saints.

The new Saints will move from the central division to the western division with the move to a…
