It was announced yesterday that a few new colleges could be added to the NCAA in the next couple of years. One of the teams that was mentioned has a recent history of lacrosse, but is a school many wouldn’t of considered at all. The school is Simon Fraser, who is currently a member of the MCLA. Simon Fraser has won the PNCLL five years in a row. It is…
Although Wednesday night’s MSL matchup between the Six Nations Chiefs and the Brooklin Redmen had no bearing on their respective division standings, a win by the home side would vault Brooklin into sole possession of top spot overall. Both teams came into the game leading their division, although one point separated them (along with Brampton and Peterborough) in the overall standings. Both teams were coming off overtime performances against “lesser”…
It’s round two for 5-4 Rochester and 7-2 Chesapeake. The Rattlers took home a 12-8 win against the Bayhawks in their first meeting this season. Dave Cottle and the Bayhawks are looking to get back on the winning side after their one goal loss to the Charlotte Hounds last Saturday. John Galloway and the Rattlers will try to take a 2-0 record over Chesapeake and continue their win streak after…
To say the Clarington Green Gaels have had an easy time of their Junior B playoff run so far, would be an understatement. They eliminated the Mimico Mountaineers in three straight games outscoring the boys in blue 49-19. The Gaels drew Halton Hills in round two, which was supposed to be a more evenly matched playoff round. The Bulldogs sent Kahnawake home in three straight as well, although the scores…
The night before the Canadian Lacrosse League finals, Paul St John said his plans for the weekend were, “watch and enjoy the game, spend Sunday with my family. I might take Monday off, but then we’re back to work.” Truly, ever since we last checked in with CLax and saw the Ohsweken Demons hoist the Creator’s Cup, the commissioner and his office have been hard at work planning the 2013…
This week the Boston Cannons will look to start a winning streak after their win over the Hamilton Nationals. Meanwhile the Long Island Lizards lost two games, both to the Rochester Rattlers. Goaltending To me, this is the best goaltending you can find in Major League Lacrosse. Jordan Burke is on pace to win goaltender of the year with the Cannons while Drew Adams won the award last season. Burke…
During the NALL Pro Invitational Season, the Boston Rockhoppers found themselves 1-1 against the Kentucky Stickhorses and the only team to win a game other than Kentucky. Boston will have six home games this season, and they will be in Lowell. Their roster included some big name players, such as Mike Stone, Chris Ajemian, Vincent Talbot, and more. “Last year I got to develop more of my indoor game and box lax…
We are just a little bit beyond the half way point for this Major League Lacrosse season, so it is time to take a look at the early mid season award winners from the view point of Marisa Ingemi. Most Valuable Player: Paul Rabil, Boston Cannons Goalie of the Year: Jordan Burke, Boston Cannons Rookie of the Year: Matt Gibson, Long Island Lizards Offensive Player of the Year: Paul Rabil,…
Lots of players deserved to be recognized. Jovan Miller for making Sportscenters Top 10 is great for him and the lacrosse world. Along with Steven Boyle’s five point performance and Jordan Burke’s 18 saves against a very talented and strong Hamilton offense. The three stars I picked showed their leadership skills when they were needed the most. Matt Danowski receives my first star. When the game’s on the line, this…
Matt Danowski is a very popular person in Charlotte right now. Danowski nailed a 2-pointer with only 22 seconds left on the clock to push the Charlotte Hounds (3-6) to a 13-12 victory over the Chesapeake Bayhawks (7-2). The Hounds overcame a 3-point deficit late in game to end the Bayhawks’ 5-game win streak. The Hounds played by far their best game of the season last night; everyone was clicking…
