Remember that cityless team the Professional Lacrosse League announced? Apparently, they have found a home.

The start-up American West Baseball League has announced that DC Sports & Entertainment,…
Happy 4th of July everyone! In honor of the holiday today we thought we’d take a look at the state of box lacrosse in America, which is most certainly on the rise. Not only do we have a handful of American stars, but new leagues giving players a shot at developing their box lacrosse skills. Of course when you talk about lacrosse in America one of the first names that…
After starting the tournament 0-3, Ireland was hungry for a win, and we knew that our last 2 games would make a big difference in our chances to make it to the medal round. Â Fortunately, as members of the highest ‘Blue’ division, we would essentially be playing down from the top while the teams in the other divisions were playing to earn their way up in the standings. But it…

Year one was the foundation, and they are hoping to build on that tremendously come year two….
As I write this its 4am Monday morning and I’m waiting for my flight back to Charlotte, a little early to say the least, but I have to work this morning and it’s not too strange of an occurrence for lacrosse players trying to maximize their chance to play at every opportunity. Especially indoor players, a high level box lacrosse game summertime in Charlotte doesn’t just find you. So myself…
This past weekend the Vermont Voyageurs hosted the USA Developmental team. It was a good opportunity for some of our players to showcase what they can do in different situations. I think the team did good overall and we ended the weekend one and one. I was the backup for the weekend, letting the chance to two of our goalies to show what they can do in a senior game….
Hello again everyone. Sorry it’s been a few weeks; clearly a lot has gone on since my last blog as evidently we are now on a new/sexier In Lacrosse We Trust platform. As In Lacrosse We Trust has been apparently coding, I have been steadily racking up the mileage on my weekly journeys to Western, NY. (Thank you Hertz Gold Club – now please waive that $200 cleaning fee from…
Kevin Biggs was named the head coach of the Montreal Phoenix before the start of the 2012 Quebec Senior Lacrosse League season.

Flowers to my teammates It’s Monday already. I’ve got a pile of work to do, this blog to write and I have one day to recover before heading back to the gym. It’s a good life, especially when we are wining like we’ve been lately. The Voyageurs are 3-0-1 since the last 4 games coming out of a 1-0-1 weekend against the Injuns (Tie 10-10) and the Muskies (Win 17-9)….
