It was Marvel Superhero Night in Buffalo, New York Friday night, and there were plenty of superheroes to choose from. No, not Marvel characters, actual lacrosse players that took the floor. The Bandits played host to the Saskatchewan Rush, the first meeting of these two teams in over 2000 days. If you didn’t see this game, you need to rewatch it. Highlight-reel goals, tit-for-tat scoring, a Matt Vinc return, and…

For the first time since February of 2020, the Buffalo Bandits walked into Rogers Arena in Vancouver ready to battle the Warriors. These two clubs are eerily similar when it came to needing a win, badly. Buffalo, the reigning champs may I remind you, have been an injury-ridden, sputtering mess. Vancouver, the last place team, still was not out of playoff contention, but needed to string some wins together. Buffalo…

It’s been nine years since his tragic death, but the lacrosse community will always remember…

The first installment in 2024 of the I-90 rivalry between the Buffalo Bandits and Rochester Knighthawks was a banger. These games always tend to be high intensity and a split crowd as Buffalo fans travel well. A snowstorm in the Buffalo area did affect some of the travellers, but there still was a sea of orange and black at Blue Cross Arena. This contest was as back-and-forth as it gets…
