For the second straight game, an NLL team struggled in its home opener to put points on the board. While that was the Rochester Knighthawks on Thursday night, it was the Buffalo Bandits who fell to the Colorado Mammoth at home on Friday, 12-8. A crowd of nearly 15,000 was on hand to watch both teams open their seasons. The Mammoth jumped out to a 3-0 lead as Colorado goalie…
The Buffalo Bandits, coming off of their Champions Cup appearance last season, open their season at home tonight against the Colorado Mammoth, a team coming off a western conference finals berth. While Buffalo has retained mostly the same roster, losing just Chad Culp and Jay Thorimbert, the Mammoth roster looks quite a bit different. No Adam Jones, as the Mammoth shipped the former third overall draft pick to Saskatchewan for…
The Toronto Rock moved to 2-0 in NLL pre-season play with a 15-9 win over the Colorado Mammoth Saturday night at the TRAC in Oakville. Hundreds of fans packed the TRAC for the Rock’s second of three home pre-season games. Last week the Rock defeated the Georgia Swarm 10-8 and next week they will host their division rival Buffalo Bandits. The Rock rolled out to a 5-2 lead after the…
Ahead of next week’s National Lacrosse League draft, two teams came down with a surprising trade on Monday afternoon. The Colorado Mammoth acquired forward Zack Greer from the Colorado Mammoth in return for forward Adam Jones. Both Jones and Greer have been two of the most prolific scorers in the western conference for the past half decade. Both lefty forwards, the trade likely comes down thanks to location reasons. Jones…
Milestones were set in the Mile High City for the Toronto Rock on Saturday night. As a team, they didn’t have much offensive muster, dropping a 10-5 decision to the Colorado Mammoth at the Pepsi Center. Individually, however, it was a fruitful game. Playoffs are out of the picture for the Rock but most of their players still have long careers ahead of them to rack up accomplishments. Kyle Aquin,…
If you follow any sports social media today, you were probably graced with the presence of one of the NLL’s top highlights of the season. Colorado Mammoth goaltender Alex Buque laid out Calgary Roughnecks transition Karsen Leung in one of the best viral lacrosse videos of the year.

Next Game: @ Calgary Saturday 9pm. 2—(2) Buffalo Bandits (7-4) Moved to the top of the eastern conference as they used a four goal run in the fourth to pick up the win 13-10 on Johnny Tavares Night.

Joe DiMaggio’s famous hitting streak in Major League Baseball was at 56 games. The National Lacrosse League has not been around *quite* as long as MLB, but Adam Jones of the Colorado Mammoth has hit that exact mark. In Colorado’s 14-13 victory over the New England Black Wolves in week ten of this NLL season, Jones scored a goal in his 56th straight NLL contest, dating back to the 2012…
The New England Black Wolves will travel to Denver on Saturday to face the Colorado Mammoth in a match up of conference leading teams. New England (5-2) holds a one game lead on Buffalo in the east while Colorado (7-2) leads Saskatchewan by 1.5 games in the west. The Wolves have led the east from the get go this season, with the new look team finding immediate success in its…
Adam Jones doesn’t care much for your five goal lead. Jones was at his very best in the fourth quarter of the Colorado Mammoth’s come-from-behind 11-10 win over the Vancouver Stealth. He had the quickest natural hat-trick, the league says, since at least 2005. He erased Vancouver’s lead at 9:08 of the final quarter before winning the game with two seconds left in the game. For Vancouver, the first half…
