We are very excited to be here on In Lacrosse We Trust. Lacrosse Library plans to bring you all the best drills and plays from college and professional indoor and outdoor lacrosse here on ILWT twice every month. We saw a youth team from Texas run this same Man-Up Play four or five times successfully in one game at a tournament in California last fall. Try this simple play in practice and games to…
It may have took four games for it to happen, but fans and management of the Vancouver Stealth both had reasons to leave the Langley Events Centre happy campers on Saturday night. The 21-year-old Powless shone when given operating duties of the offensive gameplan, looking dangerous all game as both a facilitator and a scoring threat in the Stealth’s 16-13 win over the Colorado Mammoth. The win snapped a three…
Every team tries to take the best player available for their needs with their top pick. But sometimes a team will end up with a steal of a sleeper, or an elite player they didn’t expect to drop. That’s why I am examining the top pick from each team to watch to be an impact player. Boston- John Glesener, Army- 1st Round The Cannons made their expected pick of Ryan…
Nothing in this post is a paid endorsement, but instead the actual opinions of our staff. The annual lacrosse convention is the best place to get a gauge on what is going on in the world of lacrosse. We saw Major League Lacrosse host their annual draft, one of the best representations of American indoor lacrosse, and the best companies in the lacrosse world. We’re here to recap it and…
While it’s still early in the NLL regular season, the Vancouver Stealth aren’t doing themselves any favours with a lacklustre performance in a 20-9 loss to the Colorado Mammoth Saturday night. The Mammoth scored 17 of the final 22 goals after being down 4-3 three minutes into the second quarter, paced by four goal games from Adam Jones and Alex Turner. The more troubling fact is the uninterrupted runs the…
Photo Credit: Ian Neadle The MLL Collegiate Draft took place Friday Night during the Annual US Lacrosse Convention in Baltimore, Maryland. The best of the 2015 class were on the board and the crowd was full of anticipation of where their favorite players would end up after graduation. There were a lot of retiring players that were staples in the league for years. The Boston Cannons were one of those…
The Toronto Rock paid homage to one of their own at Friday night’s home opener, with a touching pre-game ceremony for the late Terry Sanderson, the team’s general manager who passed away in November. Standing among his teammates while forming the shape of a T on the floor was Terry’s son Josh, who leads the NLL in scoring with 26 points after three games. At 37, Sanderson is considered one…
1. Lyle Thompson, Albany Great Danes Attack- By far the consensus top pick in the draft and also an obvious pick for the Florida Launch. One of the famous Thompsons, Lyle might actually be the best of them all. Lyle has an opportunity to play with stars like Casey Powell and 2014 rookie of the year Kieran McArdle. 2. Wes Berg, Denver Pioneers Attack- Berg is another star attackman coming…
11. Kevin Rice, Syracuse Orange Attack- Rice’s numbers speak for themselves. 80 points? 80?!? Rice translates to be a very good player in the pro ranks and is one of the top prospects from his own school, Syracuse, that is producing the most draftees this season. He does basically everything you want in an attackman and should be an impact player right away. 12. Charlie Raffa, Maryland Terrapins Faceoff- Isn’t…
21. Mike MacDonald, Princeton Tigers Attack- He had a 40+ goal season a few years ago which propelled his name into talk of being drafted. He took a step back in 2014 but is still very viable. Another Canadian player, and MLL seems to have a lot of Canadian stars nowadays (Crowley, Grant, Merrill, Matisz, MacIntosh, Matthews, Dickson, etc). 22. Joe LoCascio, Maryland Terrapins Midfield- Competitive and “gritty” player with…
