Just hours after the opening ceremony for the 2014 World Lacrosse Championships the United States, and Canada will face off against each other. This could surely be an early look at what may be the Championship matchup. The U.S. is led by captain Kevin Leveille, with the support of many stars like Paul Rabil. It took the U.S. coaching staff headed by Richie Meade 11 months to get the roster…
Before the MLL all star game, only real, diehard, obsessive fans of minor indoor lacrosse knew who Zack Dorn was (so, the readers of this site pretty much). Now Dorn has risen to lacrosse stardom from winning the hardest shot contest with MLL. “It’s different, that’s for sure,” Dorn said of the attention he is getting. “I’ve been playing out in Vail for the past week with my buddies and…
The National Lacrosse League has announced that Pat Coyle and Chris Hall have been voted into the NLL Hall of Fame as inductees of the Class of 2014. Coyle becomes the first defenseman in league history to win induction while Hall was elected in his first year of eligibility.

Hey what’s going on everybody? My name is Colin Clive and I play for the England National team. I’m going to blogging about our experience during our time out here in Denver. The first day has already been an interesting one to say the least. Since I am American and I live on Long Island, I was going to be meeting up with the rest of the guys with another…
The United States men’s national team began its final stretch of practices on Sunday leading into the World Lacrosse Championships, which kick off on Thursday. Rather than talking about plays or schemes, the coaches began by touching on pride and what it means to represent not only yourself and US Lacrosse, but most importantly, your country. Pride in one’s country has been abundant with the World Cup and is always…
In a deal right before the MLL trade deadline today, the Florida Launch sent 2013 MLL MVP Kevin Crowley to the Chesapeake Bayhawks for Steven Brooks, Jon Hayes and David Earl. The Bayhawks also get a 2015 fourth round collegiate draft pick. Crowley, who is currently with Team Canada, has 17 points this season. The three midfielders have a combined 17 points. Earl was just traded to the Bayhawks in…
Brett Hickey and the Coquitlam Adanacs visit Curtis Dickson and the Maple Ridge Burrards tonight in a rare Tuesday night tilt in the WLA schedule. Coming into the game a mere 3 points separate these two contenders for second place behind the high flying Victoria Shamrocks for first and both teams have been playing great, fast lacrosse as of late. Coquitlam is coming into the game trying to turn a struggling team around. After going 2-3 in their last five games and…
With the MLL trade deadline approaching this week, I have taken a team-by-team look at player needs heading into the stretch run of the season. What areas might each team need to improve? Due to the nature of the league and its trades, I will not speculate on specific players I expect traded. In Major League Baseball, the likely players on the market are fairly evident. That’s not as true…
Hello everyone! It feels like forever since my last entry. Life hit me pretty hard this past year and it feels like I’m still trying to catch up! But enough with my non goalie life. This year marks a very special one for the Voyageurs as the team founders Jeff Culkin and Mike Dee agreed to sell the team to some of the long-time players. Jeff, Mike and everyone else…
The New York Lizards head into the third and final break of the MLL season in good position to make the postseason. Right now, they are third in the MLL standings and are one game behind both the Rochester Rattlers and Denver Outlaws for first place. The season got off to a great start as the offense looked as good as advertised in a 18-15 win over the Rattlers. However,…
