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…
The Cannons and Nationals will face off tonight in a rematch of the MLL Championship game, where the Nats try to get into the playoff picture and the Cannons try to regain their groove. Here is how they match up. Offense The Cannons have the advantage, scoring more than anyone in the league this season. Hamilton has some great scorers, like Casey Powell and Cody Jamieson, but I doubt they…
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…
