The Edmonton Rush got their first home win of the season defeating the Colorado Mammoth 12-10 on Friday night in front of a small but enthusiastic crowd of 8,624 at Sasktel Centre. The win also ends the Mammoth’s four game winning streak. It was a hard fought battle that did not see the Rush take a lead until the ten-minute mark of the final frame. The crowd was silenced early…
Alex Buque shone on opening night in Colorado. After getting the surprise start against the Georgia Swarm, Buque has not seen another start all season. Dillon Ward, of whom signed a five year deal with the Mammoth just two years ago, was labeled the next young goaltending star of the National Lacrosse League. After Evan Kirk, a former third overall pick, did not become that next star, all eyes were…
Coming off a major win over the defending champion Saskatchewan Rush, hopes were high for the Vancouver Stealth to find some consistency in what has been an otherwise inconsistent tenure since relocating from Washington. If Saturday night was any indication, those hopes may have to be put off until next week. The Colorado Mammoth, off to an undefeated start behind a string of impressive wins over Rochester and Buffalo, were…
The Colorado Mammoth (3-0) put their undefeated record on the line tonight as they travel to Vancouver to take on the Stealth (1-1). Both teams are coming off big wins last weekend—Colorado bested the Buffalo Bandits 15-14 in overtime while Vancouver took out the defending champion Saskatchewan Rush 13-11 as a result of a 4-0 fourth quarter outburst. The Mammoth have simply been outgunning opponents so far this year, scoring…
The Buffalo Bandits will travel out west to take on the Colorado Mammoth at the Pepsi Center. Both teams are coming off hard fought, tight games in Week Two. Buffalo got the 10-9 win over Calgary, while Colorado defeated Rochester 16-14 in a back and forth affair. The Bandits offense seemed to be off last week; there were a lot of dropped passes, and missed shots. Also not to mention…
Tonight the Rochester Knighthawks open up year 22 of the franchise as they host the Colorado Mammoth. The Mammoth are coming off a New Year’s Day victory over the Georgia Swarm 16-15.

It may be a new year, but that does not mean there will be change. Yes, there was a new team in action in last night’s National Lacrosse League contest, however many things stayed the same.

(Photo: Vancouver Stealth) No lead in the NLL is safe, even in Sunday afternoon preseason scrimmages, as the Colorado Mammoth found out. The Mammoth lead for three quarters until the Vancouver Stealth pulled ahead late in the fourth quarter to win the game 9-8. The comeback win should give a much-needed lift to a Stealth squad looking to erase a forgettable first two seasons in Langley. Jordan Durston paced Stealth…
