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. The Turfdogs have won their last two games in dramatic fashion knocking off the Iroquois Ironmen and the Niagara Lock Monsters on the road. Durham’s offense has been lead by former Halton Hill Bulldogs Nic Grasby, Shane Scott and Scarborough native Scott…
The Canadian Lacrosse League announced its players of the week for week five on Tuesday night. Inclement weather in the Toronto area forced the postponement of two games Friday night but the remaining two games were played as scheduled. The Brampton Inferno improved to an even .500 on the season in a 17-13 victory over the Barrie Blizzard Saturday afternoon. On Sunday evening, the Niagara Lock Monsters debuted pro lacrosse…
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…
1. Toronto Shooting Stars 3-1 (Last Week 1) The Toronto Shooting Stars had no action this weekend but they still remain in the top spot in the ILWT CLax Power Rankings. 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. I suppose a different way to look at it is that I was blessed with the opportunity to run the one door on the bench. A few problems there……
It was another eventful week in CLAX but unfortunately a Friday night Blizzard cancelled some ofthe week 5 games. The three CLAX Stars of the week are 3. Zach Higgins- The TurfDog goalie stepped up this week as he held off the Niagara Lock Monsters enabling the TurfDogs to pick up the win. Higgins made 49 saves on the night and was able to hold off one of the most…
Although their team was defeated by Durham, the fans were treated to some great lacrosse in the Niagara Lock Monsters home opener Sunday night. 537 people took in the inaugural game at the Seymour Hannah Centre in St. Catherine’s Ontario, a good turnout for the city’s first CLax game. A slow start by Niagara had them trailing 7-1 in the second quarter and the Monsters were unable to recover from…
On Saturday the Brampton Inferno took on the Barrie Blizzard. On Friday night Brampton’s game against the Iroquois Ironmen was cancelled due to a real life Blizzard so the Inferno were well rested and ready to beat Barrie. Barrie came into this game after getting trounced by the Toronto Shooting Stars. In the first quarter of this game it was all Brampton. Brampton took it to the Blizzard as they…
The Barrie Blizzard look to capture their first victory in their program history as they have started 0-2 in their inaugural season. The Blizzard will take on a very rested Brampton Inferno as they have not seen game action since January 26. Leading the way for the Blizzard is Brooklin Redmen (Major Series Lacrosse) with seven goals and five assists for 12 points finding him a spot in the top…
