What a week!!! A battle of division leaders went to OT, a battle between the teams who played in the Champion’s Cup was decided again by a goal. We even had a goalie score a goal. Calgary loses their fourth one-goal game of the year. Most of the league is off this week as only two games are slated this weekend. But beware, the weekend of March 13-15 is sure…
We had some very exciting lacrosse and some unbelievable performances this past weekend. Some of which included goaltenders not only standing on their head to make some unreal saves, but also had a goalie score a goal, and not on himself. 1-Rob Hellyer–(5G/5A–Tor) Hellyer was a beast on Friday night. Hellyer’s first goal at :35 of the second quarter put the Rock in the lead until Edmonton tied it…
Tonight the action gets started early. The east leading Toronto Rock (7-1) will travel to Alberta to face the west leading Edmonton Rush (4-2). The Rush have the number one defense, only allowing 54 goals (9 per game), but they will face the number one offense as Toronto has scored 107 goals (13.375). On the flip side, Edmonton has scored 76 goals (12.66) and the Rock have allowed 78 goals…
We had four games this weekend, all decided by a total of 7 goals. The Black Wolves forced the Rock to OT before falling to them. Cody Jamieson scores the final three goals to lead the Hawks to a huge OT win. Roughnecks save their season with seven goals by Dickson to gain their first win, and Colorado and New England had a classic battle before the Mammoth came up…
Photo Credit: George Fourlaris There was a full slate of action again this week in the NLL, and once again we had some thrillers. Buffalo battles back in second half, but the tank went dry. Calgary is still winless, Stealth get revenge over Mammoth, Knighthawks and Rush now on two game win streaks, Black Wolves get doubled up. Where will they fall this week in the Power Rankings???? NLL Power…
Another exciting weekend for indoor lacrosse action in the National Lacrosse League. Joe Walters has a career night, Dan Dawson hits double digits in assists, and Johnny Powless gets more touches as the Stealth rest a star player. Week 5—Three Stars 1—Dan Dawson (ROC). The Dangerous one was just that: DANGEROUS. Dawson recorded 11 assists and picked up seven loose balls in Rochester’s 17-11 victory over the Buffalo Bandits. Dawson is…
One thing we never expected to see again was a North American Lacrosse League uniform in action. That’s what we saw on Saturday night when the Baltimore Bombers made their return as they edged past the New Jersey Lasersharks by a score of 8-7. It was the return of pro players such as Jeff Joy, Ginny Capicchioni, Will Harrington, Matt Hickman, and more. Many of these players derive from the…
The Rochester Knighthawks started their 21st year in the National Lacrosse League the same way they started the last two seasons, raising their championship banner. This one was special, this isn’t just a normal championship banner, this banner represents history. The 2014 banner will forever represent the first team to ever three-peat in the National Lacrosse Leagues existence, which is now 29 years. The ceremony kicked off with members of…
Saunders was a sixth round selection of the Chicago Shamrox back in 2008. Since then he has spent time with the Minnesota Swarm, Rochester Knighthawks, Toronto Rock, and Philadelphia Wings in 2012. Last season Saunders was back again in Philadelphia and had a bang out year with 25 G, 14 A in 15 games. Prior to the start of last season Saunders came into camp on a mission. He was…
Last week in the Toronto Rock’s preseason victory over the Rochester Knighthawks, an unlikely hero emerged. As the Rock topped Rochester in Montreal, Trevor Wagar scored twice in his first NLL contest. “It was an amazing experience and an experience that I have been wanting to have since I was a young kid growing up and watching the Toronto Rock play,” said Wagar. “I was drafted in 2008 by the…
