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. Six Nations Rivermen (8-2) Last Week: 16-7 W vs Oakville, 10-9 W vs Brooklin The defending Ontario Champions continued to roll this past week, picking up two victories. The Rivermen kicked off their set off games with a dominating 16-7 victory over the Oakville Rock, and would follow that up with a narrow 10-9 victory against a vastly improved Brooklin Merchants squad. In the 16-7 win over Oakville,…
1. Peterborough Lakers (5-0) Last Week: 8-3 W vs Brooklin, 8-5 W vs Oakville, 9-6 W vs Oakville The Lakers proved they could score, and score in bunches in their first two games of the 2015 season, picking up 32 goals in their wins over Brooklin and K-W. This past week the Lakers continued their winning streaking, picking up three consecutive wins, in defeats of Brooklin and Oakville twice. While…
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 Saint Catharines Saints have been busy making moves this past week, and they have strengthened much of their roster. First, the Saints traded Caleb Wiles to the Six Nations Rivermen in exchange for Torrey Van Every. The Rivermen and Saints are neck and neck with each other for first place in OLA’s Sr B division, tied with 16 points each. Van Every had a strong weekend, scoring…
1. Coquitlam Adanacs (11-1) Last Week: 17-5 W vs. Port Coquitlam This Week: vs. New Westminster The Adanacs continue to roll as the BCJALL’s most feared team and they proved they can win in a couple different ways. But one thing remains the same no matter what type of game they play: they defend incredibly well and they get great goaltending for Christian del Bianco, who is sporting…
1. Eli McLaughlin – Nanaimo Timbermen McLaughlin came into his rookie season in the WLA after a stellar rookie season in the NLL that saw him pick up 38 points in 17 games with the Colorado Mammoth. McLaughlin hasn’t slowed down much four games into his WLA career, averaging two points per game thus far. This week got off to a slow start for McLaughlin however, tallying just an assist…
1st Star – Jesse King, Victoria Shamrocks King had a great week, scoring 10 points (six goals, four assists) as the Shamrocks are beginning to take their play to another level. He led the Shamrocks with four goals in their 16-6 drubbing of the Thunder and got him into a tie for third in goals with nine overall. He’s also forcing teams from putting extra pressure on any one offensive…
1. Victoria Shamrocks (LW – 1) Record: 4-2-0 Goal Differential: +19 Last Week: 12-11 W vs. Maple Ridge, 16-6 W at Langley This Week: None This week was more like the status quo for the Shamrocks, who showed some veteran moxy in holding off the Burrards for a big 12-11 win and following it up with a blowout of Langley. As long as guys like Cory Conway, Corey Small and Rhys Duch keep filling the…
