Coverage of the Colorado Mammoth, Denver Outlaws, and Denver University.
Since the Denver Outlaws began play in 2006 they have the best record in Major League Lacrosse. They have the only undefeated regular season in league history and have produced some of the top players in the league. But they have not won a championship despite trying to upgrade their roster year in and year out. Will John Grant Jr be the key?
The Colorado Mammoth have traded defenseman Rory Smith and a fourth round draft pick in 2015 to the Buffalo Bandits in exchange for power forward Carter Bender and a second round pick in 2014. The 6 foot 200 pound Smith is a six year veteran of the National Lacrosse League and is known throughout the league as one of the toughest defenders around. He has a reputation as an agitator which…
Yesterday it was reported that the Denver Pioneers will be moving from the ECAC to the Big East in a lacrosse only move, a move that seriously changes the landscape of college lacrosse. Denver, whose program has been on the rise, is a big prize for any conference. Denver joins a conference that is losing two of its best lacrosse programs in Syracuse and Notre Dame to other conferences, though…
Senior – Cameron Flint – Midfield – Boston Cannons – Denver Pioneers The Boston Cannon`s 6th overall draft pick in the 2013 Collegiate Draft scored 3:44 into OT on Saturday afternoon to lift the Denver Pioneers (10-2) over the Loyola Greyhounds (9-3) in ECAC action. The Georgetown, ON native scored three other times in the 13-12 victory against the Greyhounds. Flint is third in scoring for the Pioneers with 24…
The Denver Outlaws season ended in a Championship loss to the Chesapeake Bayhawks, but since then it has been a rebuilding process towards next season. The Outlaws have made many moves to revamp their roster, and that includes moving some top players. “It is always difficult losing a talented player, but it is important to make sure that as a General Manager that I try to make us as good…
This certainly wasn’t the way the Bandits had hoped their home and home with Colorado would go. Before last weekend, Colorado was a lowly 2-7. It was looking like they would certainly be the team to miss the playoffs this season. However, they won both their games against the Bandits and have jolted life into their season. The Bandits put up a fight last night, but were never able to…
Once last week’s game ended, almost everyone’s minds quickly jumped to next week’s match-up. Once again the Colorado Mammoth and Buffalo Bandits face-off, this time in Denver. The league hopes that it doesn’t end the way last week’s game ended, with a 10 man brawl. All of the players involved besides Bandit David Brock have appealed their suspensions, so they will all be playing tonight. It will likely be the…
The National Lacrosse League teams had to finalize their rosters yesterday before the roster freeze, and each team made some moves signing free agents. Check them all out below. Buffalo Bandits Assigned righty forward Luke Wiles to the practice roster and activated transition man Hayden Smith and defenseman Kevin Brownell. Rochester Knighthawks Released Matt Hummell and Tyler Burton and placed them on the practice roster. Released Brad Richardson from the…
With the trade deadline only hours away we don’t expect to see anymore changes in the Colorado. The Mammoth made a big move earlier in the week when they acquired 10 year veteran Casey Powell from the Rochester Knighthawks. They had to give up defensive specialist Jon Sullivan in the deal but this is considered a great trade for Colorado as Powell is one of the most talented american players…
The Colorado Mammoth have had issues at the goaltender position this season. Matt Roik and Chris Levis, their goalies at the start of the season, are now gone. Now they bring in former second round pick Tye Belanger and youngster Dan Lewis. Belanger was expected to get a chance out of camp but suffered an injury beforehand. Belanger started in his first career game against Buffalo last week, and allowed…
