This season, Major Series Lacrosse is running a fundraiser to have free game broadcasts. In the past, almost all of their games have been pay per view. We caught up with Stephen Stamp, who is running the campaign, to find out how the fundraiser works. 1. Why are you doing the fundraiser? The GoFundMe campaign is a way to attract donations to pay for live streaming of Major Series Lacrosse…
Photo Credit: Major Series Lacrosse John Grant Jr. has made one of the toughest decisions of his lacrosse life and will not be playing with the Century 21 Lakers as he steps away for an excellent opportunity in his new home of Denver, Colorado. ‘Junior’ as he has become known to so many in Peterborough is one of the best box and field lacrosse players in the world. He has…
1. Johnny Powless – Six Nations Chiefs A notable omission from the Week 3 MSL Rookie Report, as Johnny Powless has already won back to back Mann Cups with the Six Nations Chiefs. However with that being said, he is still technically a rookie in the MSL this season, yet has been producing like the veteran he is. With no Cody Jamieson on the left side of the Chiefs offence…
The MSL goes in cycles. A few years ago, the teams to beat were Peterborough and Brampton. Now, it’s Peterborough and Six Nations, while Brampton hovers at the bottom of the standings. Last season, the final series came down to the Lakers and the Chiefs, with the Chiefs prevailing in the third period of the final game. This season, the teams have already re-kindled their rivalry. The best teams always…
The Oakville Rock and Kitchener-Waterloo Kodiaks have made another trade. The Rock have sent forwards Shayne Adams and Patrick Corbett to the Kodiaks in exchange for lefty forward/transition player Jordan Critch. Oakville also gets back its 3rd round pick in the 2016 MSL draft, which KW had received in an earlier deal. Adams is a 24-year-old lefty who had a solid junior career with the St. Catharines Athletics and scored…
The Oakville Rock’s roster, on paper, looks pretty good. They added Wes Berg from the west, even. But despite these facts, they started the season with seven straight losses. Last night they finally reached their first victory of the 2015 season. Just days after Matt Sawyer took over as the new head coach of the team, results finally showed on the box score. Oakville defeated the Kitchener Waterloo Kodiaks 14-8…
In the city, the team is known as the Century 21 Lakers. To everyone outside the city, they are, and always will be, the Peterborough Lakers. Rookie GM Paul Day isn’t surprised by his team’s results; after all, he has made several moves to strengthen the team and is now seeing his hard work pay off. That said, he recognized that the MSL “is a tough league, on any night…
1. Kyle Whitlow – Brooklin Redmen The 2015 fourth round pick of the Brooklin Redmen has made a seamless transition from the junior ranks, as he currently sits third in Brooklin Redmen scoring, behind only Shawn Williams and Mike Teeter. Whitlow has been a consistent offensive threat for a Redmen squad that is having trouble finding the back of the net this season. This past week Whitlow picked up three…
In some rather unfortunate news for both the Peterborough Lakers and Buffalo Bandits, Mark Sttenhuis has torn his ACL and will be out for the rest of the Major Series Lacrosse season. Training camp in the National Lacrosse League typically is around November and December, so there’s no chance Steenhuis would be ready for that and there’s a good chance he misses the entire season with Buffalo. The report on…
The Century 21 Lakers are adding another brother act to the team trading a second and third round draft pick to Kitchener for defensive specialist Mike Kirk, older brother of goalie Evan Kirk. That gives the Lakers three sets of brothers: Scott and Brad Self, Shawn and Scott Evans, but more importantly another steady defender for the Lakers. The Kirks will be dressed tonight in what may be the first…
