There are only three weeks left in the Arena Lacrosse League’s regular season, and every team has an eye on the playoffs. Of course, every one of the seven teams in the league will make the playoffs, but positioning is important. First place, which can be clinched by the St. Catharines ShockWave after one more win, will receive a bye in the first round of single-elimination games. Then it will…
Whitby Steelhawks 6 @ Peterborough Timbermen 18 The Peterborough Timbermen moved back into second place with an 18-6 win over the Whitby Steelhawks this past Saturday thanks to an impressive goaltending display from Nick Damude. The Rochester Knighthawks’ prospect made 57 stops against a surging Steelhawks’ team. “Damude’s done what he’s done all year and played incredible. It was a collective win but he was unreal,” said Timbermen captain Mark…
Bullseye was in a familiar position five minutes into the second half, knotted up with the Blazers at six-all in a Boston Box Lacrosse League championship game that looked destined to come down to the wire. What happened next was unfamiliar, however, as Bullseye – which had lost the last four BBLL championships in tight games – responded with a four-minute, four-goal run, taking control of the game and, ultimately,…
There were three games in week nine of Arena Lacrosse League play but little movement in the standings. The St. Catharines Shockwave continued their winning ways at the top of the standings, while losses kept the Toronto Monarchs and Peterborough Timbermen in second and third. The Paris RiverWolves moved up into fourth place and the Whitby Steelhawks showed they’re not out of the playoff hunt, catching up to the Six…
Evinrude Centre be darned; the Peterborough Century 21 Lakers aren’t going to let their arena displacement stop them from bringing a third consecutive Mann Cup title to the city. Thursday, general manager Paul Day made a big trade that will help the Lakers on their 2019 journey back to the national championship, acquiring Kiel Matisz from the Brooklin Redmen. It was their first big move in preparation for the three-peat.”We…
After blowing a six-goal lead, the defending champion Blazers scored the game’s last five goals to earn a hard-fought, come-from-behind 12-8 victory over the Minutemen and a chance to win their sixth straight Boston Box Lacrosse League title. That championship game will be the fifth straight finals match-up against Bullseye, as the regular-season champs blitzed PrimeTime 23-9 in the first semi-final at South Shore Sports Center in Hingham on Feb….
The Peterborough Timbermen split their Family Day weekend with one win and one loss. They prevailed over the Paris RiverWolves 16-12 on Saturday at Children’s Arena but lost a 15-14 heartbreaker in overtime to St. Catharines at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena. The Timbermen had most of their big guns in the lineup on Saturday as they took it to the RiverWolves, who only floored 12 runners, early and often in…

After six weeks of Arena Lacrosse League play, the St. Catharines Shockwave are still at the top of the standings with a 5-0 record. The Peterborough Timbermen and Toronto Monarchs are in second place with 4-1 and 4-2 records, respectively. The Shockwave were able to retain their lead despite having a bye week. Each team only plays 14 games so there’s not a lot of time to make a splash…
Both Boston Box Lacrosse League games on Jan. 22 ended with one team scoring the last four goals of the contest, and with a final score of 12-11, but the similarities mostly ended there as the Minutemen used their closing spurt to overtake the MegaWhales, while Bullseye fell just short in an attempt to come back against the Blazers. In the opening game at South Shore Sports Center in Hingham,…
