Last night the Coquitlam Adanacs got back into their series with the Langley Thunder, tying the Western Lacrosse Association Finals at one. In Coquitlam, the Adanacs were led by Dane Dobbie who scored three goals and had two assists. Jason Jones and Ross Halliday also had two goals a piece. Daryl Veltman had three assists. For the Thunder, who fell 9-8, Athan Iannucci led with four goals and Lewis Ratcliff…
Minto Cup day two featured what many called two “nothing” games. However, as a fan in the stands was quick to point out, this is the Minto Cup; these players are fighting to be named the top junior lacrosse team in the country. There are no “nothing” games. Game one featured a matchup between the Calgary Mountaineers and the Orangeville Northmen. Orangeville entered the game with a 2-0 record, already…
In a seven game series no team wants to drop 3-0, especially not when returning to the other team’s arena, and definitely not when that opponent happens to be the Peterborough Lakers. That’s why it could be said the MSL finals, game three in Six Nations would be a must-win for the Chiefs. A side storyline to the series has been in net for the Chiefs. Head coach Rich Kilgour…
Photo Credit: Devyn Gallagher As the Canadian Jr.B season wraps up, it is clear that Ontario once again remain supreme. The Six Nations Rebels defeated the Akwesasne Indians to capture the Founders Cup, the clubs second in as many seasons. This year has made it clear that the OJBLL continues to produce some of the best Jr.B players in Canada. Here are the In Lacrosse We Trust picks for the…
First of all I’d like to congratulate the Kahnawake Mohawks on winning the QSLL championship. They fought hard and deserved the win with an amazing performance from their goaltender Derek Collins in the last three games of the series. I can’t stress enough how hard this lost was for us as a team and for me as an individual. One of the reasons why I haven’t written a blog in…
A show of hands from those fans who thought any team other than the Akwesasne Indians and the Six Nations Rebels would appear in the Founder’s Cup finals. Didn’t think so. The two entered the tournament as favourites, and despite close calls for both sides against a gritty Calgary Mountaineers squad, the two teams made their inevitable appearance in the gold medal game Sunday evening. All the pressure was on…
After the Peterborough Lakers, and a busload of fans, entered the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena on Friday evening and took game one of the MSL finals, the Six Nations Chiefs were looking for revenge Sunday, this time in Peterborough’s barn. While Alex Hill would score the opener, John Grant Jr would answer to tie the game. As has been the case all year when these two teams meet, the action was…
In the Western Lacrosse Association, the Langley Thunder and the Coquitlam Adanacs have been on a collision course virtually all season long. The dream series for BC lacrosse fans started on Sunday night in Langley as the defending WLA champions hosted the surging Adanacs. While the Thunder swept their opening round series against Burnaby, Coquitlam needed two extra games, and saw two others go to overtime, before making their way…
For the first time in ten years, the Major Series Lacrosse final did not feature the Peterborough Lakers and the Brampton Excelsiors. In fact, when the opening whistle sounded on the MSL final series on Friday night, it marked the first time since 1995 the Excelsiors weren’t present. The Lakers looked across the floor to, this time, find the Six Nations Chiefs. If game one is any indication, MSL fans…
