Coverage of the Colorado Mammoth, Denver Outlaws, and Denver University.
The Denver Outlaws are coming off of their first ever Major League Lacrosse title, and their defense of it will come at the first MLL game ever at Gillette Stadium. The Boston Cannons, meanwhile, have a new look on the field and with their field for their 15th season. Of course, Boston is now without Paul Rabil, but they have new faces, too. Chad Weidmaier will be the man on…
Rochester Knighthawks fans knew it wasn’t going to be an ordinary night when Sid Smith opened the scoring just 22 seconds into the game. Smith’s goal sparked a 10-goal first half and the defense limited the Colorado Mammoth to a season-low five goals in a 14-5 win tonight. With the victory, the Knighthawks locked up a berth in the 2015 Champion’s Cup Playoffs. “It was another good team victory,” said…
Tewaaraton Watch List member Wesley Berg (Coquitlam, B.C.) broke Denver’s career points (217) and goals (158) records, leading the [5/5] University of Denver men’s lacrosse team to an 18-5 win over St. John’s on Saturday afternoon at Da Silva Memorial Field. Fellow Tewaaraton Watch List member Connor Cannizzaro (Cazenovia, N.Y.) had a game-high six points on three goals and three assists. The hat trick was his team-leading seventh of…

What can be said about the Denver Outlaws that hasn’t been said already? Ok, don’t answer that question because there are a whole host of unknowns heading into the 2015 campaign. On-field fortunes have been increasing for the Outlaws in recent years. After years of playoff disappointments, most notoriously after their undefeated 2013 regular season, they finally raised the Steinfeld Trophy in triumph last year. The harbinger of change is…
This past week was exciting on all fronts. Trade deadling was on Tuesday and a number of teams made some moves to help them in the playoffs this season and the future. Then we had some huge games on the floor with two more teams clinching playoff spots, and another record being made, but not in a good way. This week will be just as exciting as things heat up…
There are a number of factors that complicate of identifying which players are poised to take the next step at the professional level. Sometimes players make an immediate impact, like Eric Law, Jordan Wolf, or Kieran McArdle, while others put in a ton of work off the field and emerge later down the line. Someone like Jeremy Sieverts comes to mind in this scenario. Sieverts was originally selected 44th overall…
Nothing like another exciting week, the Edmonton Rush had a number of stars in their dismantling of Rochester. Colorado rookie goalie Alex Buque gets his first start and earns the victory. Some stars stood out, and others were down and out. Week 13 Three Stars 1—Aaron Bold (Edm—31 saves) To say Bold was a brick wall would be an understatement. Bold faced 34 shots stopping 31 as he…
With the 2015 NLL trade deadline looming at 3 p.m. ET on Tuesday afternoon, the Colorado Mammoth and Minnesota Swarm have announced a trade with the Mammoth acquiring forward Cameron Flint from the Swarm in exchange for second and third round selections in the 2016 NLL Draft, pending league approval. Flint, a University of Denver alum, also won a gold medal for Team Canada in July. He joins six national team members on the Mammoth roster, including former…
With the first team clinching an NLL playoff berth in Toronto, the race to the playoffs has seemingly kicked off. Each game has a little more importance, a little more meaning to it. Almost the entire league is in the thick of the playoff race in both divisions, making divisional games like Vancouver vs Colorado all the more intense. The Stealth are in Colorado, needing a win after a lacklustre…
