It’s what every Junior B lacrosse team in Canada sets their eyes on at the beginning of every season. All the blood and sweat poured on to the floor for one final piece of hardware. We are finally here, the 2012 Founders Cup. The Junior B championships get under way today with Team Quebec taking on the Saskatchewan Swat at 9:00am EST. Opening ceremonies will officially kick off the tournament…
When you score twelve goals in a lacrosse game, it’s expected you will win. When you score six goals in a lacrosse game, it’s expected you will lose. Having said that, it’s also expected when you are the defending national champions, you’ll play with drive and determination when facing elimination. The Brampton Excelsiors played with a duct taped line up all season long with many of their veterans missing games…
With the Langley Thunder advancing to the WLA final last week there is only one question on their mind who are they going to face. Coquitlam and Victoria are still battling to advance to the finals. Coquitlam looked like they were on their way to a sweep by winning the first two games of the series but Victoria has come back to tie up the series. So let’s take a…
On Thursday night the Langley Thunder took on the Burnaby Lakers in game 4 of their first round playoff series. Langley was looking for a win to close out the series and complete the sweep while Burnaby was looking to stay alive with a win. The first period began with Burnaby on the power play after Langley took a high sticking penalty just 37 seconds into the game. Langley though…
Game three. Someone will go home with an advantage. Either a 2-1 lead, or a 3-0 lead, someone is leaving the floor with control. In the case of the Eastern Conference finals of Major Series Lacrosse, not only would the Peterborough Lakers have a lead in the series, but they’d have a stranglehold having already won the first two games. If the Brooklin Redmen expected to gain any ground, it…
The Brampton Excelsiors got a wake up call in their first game of the MSL Eastern Division finals. There’s no other way to put it after a 12-3 beat down. Even without Anthony Cosmo, Sandy Chapman and Mike Kirk, it’s an embarrassing loss after a strong series win against the Kitchener/Waterloo Kodiaks. After three days off between games and with their big guns back in the line up, including Dan…

On Wednesday night the Coquitlam Adanacs and Victoria Shamrocks played game 2 of their playoff series. Coquitlam looked to gain another win and take a 2-0 lead in the series while Victoria hoped to even up the series. Coquitlam got this game going early in the first period as Dane Dobbie scored just 45 seconds into the game to give Coquitlam a 1-0 lead. Just a minute later Coquitlam would…
Game three of Burnaby and Langley’s playoff series took place on Tuesday night. Langley was looking to gain their third win in the series and push Burnaby to the edge of elimination. While Burnaby tried to rally by winning Tuesdays match. Langey drew first blood in the game as 5 minutes into the first period Kerry Shusheki scored to make it 1-0 for Langley. The game would then turn into…
Two down, one more to go. This past weekend saw the beginning of the final series of the Quebec Senior Lacrosse League opposing the Kahnawake Mohawks to the Vermont Voyageurs. After one weekend, the Voyageurs are up 2-0 in this best of five series. This post will not be my longest as I don’t want to elaborate on a series that is far from over. The Mohawks are not an…
