Well, things haven’t started out well for the Ohio Machine as they start the second half of the season 0-1. However, even though they lost to the Denver Outlaws by four, they kept it very close when they clicked in the second half of the game. They outscored the Outlaws 8-7 in the third and fourth quarters, giving hope to their future of the 2012 season. One of the faces…
Earlier we took a look at the first member of the InLax Lacrosse League, the Winnipeg Prairie Dogs. Today we feature the second member of the league, the Minnesota Marauders! The Minnesota area has a growing lacrosse following thanks to the Swarm, and the Marauders hope to continue that success. The Minnesota Swarm have helped lacrosse grow at an incredible rate at a youth level state-wide. The attendances have been…
Recently I’ve been looking at places where the MLL may look in the future. I’ve already taken a good look at Florida and Atlanta, but today I’m moving out west. The league has made it clear that they hoped to once again try westward expansion. In 2006 the league added the Los Angeles Riptide and the San Francisco Dragons but both teams failed, leaving the Denver Outlaws as the only…
July 5, 2012— Although they were attempting (and somewhat expected) to resemble the old Toronto Nationals team that won an MLL title their first year in the league, the Hounds are still getting started. Boasting huge names like Matt Danowski, Billy Bitter, Jeremy Boltus, Jovan Miller, and the All-Star game’s MVP Stephen Berger has not been a problem this year, chemistry, however, has been. Way to many times this year…
On Saturday the Long Island Lizards head to Rochester to take on the Rattlers in a very important game for both teams. The Rattlers need a win in order to be at the .500 mark, while the Lizards hope to remain in second place in the league. If the Rattlers can get a win, they’ll be neck and neck with the Outlaws for the final playoff spot with only a…

The OLA Jr A season is a brutal league sometimes. For proof, look no further than the face of a tall young man in the stands behind the benches at Ted Reeve Arena Saturday night well after the final horn. Mike Triolo played all five years of his Junior career for the Toronto Beaches organization, along with more than a decade before that. After five years of finishing near the…
The first team to be announced in the InLax Lacrosse League is the Winnipeg Prairie Dogs. Winnipeg is a relatively untested market for lacrosse, but has a very passionate sports fanbase. The Prarie Dogs will be playing out of the MTS Centre, home of the Jets. Leading the Prairie Dogs is the team’s recently named captain, Chris White. White has been in the NLL for ten years, most of those…
In a very close and entertaining game the elders finished on top, defeating the players who had entered the league since 2009 by a score of 18-17. Many expected the game to be high scoring, at is was. The scoring started early and never really stopped as the game went along. You’d step away for two seconds, and two goals had been scored. ESPN had issues at the beginning of…
