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.

With now regular season games this week, it would be hard to do power rankings. So instead today I will take a look at how I think the power rankings will turn out at the end of the second half. 1. Boston Cannons: I still feel like the Cannons have the most talent in the league, from the offense to the defense and the goaltending. They have hit a rough…

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…
