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…
In 2011, Major Series Lacrosse played a 20 game schedule, and reports indicate they will be back to that for the 2013 season. Each team will play each other four times, twice on the road and twice at home. The league is also changing the playoff format with just four of the six teams making the playoffs, unlike all six like in 2012. The semi finals will be between the…
This weekend the 3-1 Toronto Shooting Stars face off against the win-less Barrie Blizzard. These two teams met last weekend with Toronto thoroughly dismantling the Blizzard and taking a 18-10 victory. Expect Barrie to come into this game looking for revenge and also more motivated than ever to get their first win of the season. The Blizzard’s biggest problem in their first match up against Toronto was that they allowed…
The Durham Turfdogs look to join the Ohsweken Demons in first place with a win over the Brampton Inferno this Saturday night at the GM Centre in Oshawa.

Durham’s offense has been lead by former Halton Hill Bulldogs Nic Grasby, Shane Scott and Scarborough native Scott…

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…
The Major Series Lacrosse league will hold its annual draft on Wednesday night in Brooklin Ontario. A lot of Junior A players cannot be drafted due to their rights being protecting by their city’s Senior A squad but two eligible big names in the draft are the Noble’s, Jeremy and Jason who are expecting to go first round. Kitchener and Brampton each have three picks in the first round while…

The Shooting Stars have been lead by Peterborough native Aaron Grayson who has seven goals and 13 assists for 20 points, good enough for sixth best in scoring leaders. The Shooting Stars also have a balanced attack of offense…
I was supposed to get the day off on Saturday. Derek Collins played well as my relief in our previous game (when I somehow ended up in net as a ghost), so he got the nod for Saturday’s game against Brampton.
