Coverage of the Colorado Mammoth, Denver Outlaws, and Denver University.
The Minnesota Swarm will be facing off in their third preseason game this weekend vs. the Colorado Mammoth. This will be a big game for all players on the verge of making the team. After two games last weekend both of the Swarm rookies, Miles Thompson and Shane Macdonald had no problem finding the net. Both these players will be watched closely if they can keep their production up. The…
What’s better than watching the top seeded team get upset? Or seeing a powerhouse ultimately come crashing down in the finals? Below are my personal predictions as to who has shots at seeing postseason action this season in Baltimore. I’m not saying all these teams, or any of these teams, will make it. I’m not saying others won’t. But based on underdog criteria I will outline below, these schools have…
We are very excited for our first featured section on In Lacrosse We Trust! Lacrosse Library plans to bring you all the best drills and plays from college and professional indoor and outdoor lacrosse here on ILWT twice every month. We first saw this high-speed practice drill at training camp for one of the NLL teams this year. Even though this is a drill that Pro players do, you can use it…
Do I hear another ‘Invincible’ movie taking place? The 1976 Philadelphia Eagles holding open tryouts at the cost of being the NFL’s laughing stock for the season. Them actually finding someone in the mix and inviting him to training camp where he somewhat proves himself. What do the Denver Outlaws hope to accomplish? For one, in 1976, the Eagles were struggling in the NFL, getting booed by their own fans…
The Colorado Mammoth have begun their cuts, and in doing so, have released some surprising names. Along with cutting draftee Terry Ellis and free agent signee Jake Crans, they have cut veteran Joel Dalgarno and 2012 first round pick Colton Clark. Clark was a first round pick in 2012 and has widely been a disappointment for the Mammoth. In his two seasons he has a combined nine points and only…
A career that spanned 12 seasons came to an end on Monday, as Nick Carlson formally announced his retirement from the National Lacrosse League. The transition player, who played all but one season of his professional career with the Mammoth, was a two-time All-Star who won the Champion’s Cup with Colorado in 2006. “I want to thank the Colorado Mammoth, and specifically Steve Govett, for giving me an opportunity of a…
The Vancouver Stealth fell last night to the Edmonton Rush 13-8, and now they face the Colorado Mammoth in their first game of the pre season. While the Stealth lost last night, they still saw promising signs with goals from rookie Dan Keane and newcomer Dane Stevens. Colorado comes in without many changes to their offense other than the departure of Casey Powell and the addition of Alex Turner along…
It was announced on Wednesday, December 3 that the Denver Outlaws have acquired faceoff specialist Geoff Snider from the Charlotte Hounds in exchange for midfielder Terry Kimener and a 2016 fifth-round Supplemental Draft pick. So what does this mean for the Outlaws having Anthony “A-Train” Kelly as their main faceoff guy? I had the opportunity to get Outlaws GM Tony Seaman’s take on the trade. Here’s what he had to…
Photo Credit: Di Miller It’s that time of year again when Major League Lacrosse will be gearing up for the Supplemental Draft. With the National League Lacrosse already in training camp, and many players from the MLL also playing during the NLL season which starts the end of December, it creates a challenge for the head coaches and general managers as to how it will affect their team; which players…
Colorado is known to be a left-handed player-heavy roster. John Grant Jr. and Adam Jones are two of the strongest lefties the NLL has to offer. With a one-year contract agreed upon, Drew Westervelt balances out the offensive roster. Drew brings balance to the Mammoth in another way from my perspective. Take a look back to the rocky road that was Colorado’s 2014 season. The first half of the season…
