Aaron Wilson has been released… Considering the amazing preseason performance he put in, that was the most surprising cut of camp. And in case you think they just released him to put him on the practice squad, I’ve already confirmed he won’t be on the practice squad. In three preseason games, Wilson put in six goals and four assists for 10 points. This seemed to show a lot of promise…
The Buffalo Bandits have ended their preseason on a high note, beating the Colorado Mammoth 9-8 on Sunday.

The New England Blackwolves will look to even the score as they have a pre-season rematch against the Buffalo Bandits this Saturday at the Toronto Rock Athletic Center in Oakville, ON. The Bandits took the W in their first meeting this past weekend 10-9, a game which was very physical and came down to the wire. Jerome Thompson, a free agent addition to the Bandits roster (he was originally drafted…
The Buffalo Bandits have released draft pick Mike Melnychenko following their first pre season game. Melnychenko was the sixth round pick of the Bandits in the 2014 NLL draft. Melnychenko went much later in the draft than was expected, as he was ranked as a top 20 prospect. Buffalo drafted all lefties, so it was going to be hard to crack that roster on that side. There is a possibility…

David DiRuscio is a player’s player. The 6’5, 300lb goaltender is an intimidating sight upon first glance, but spend a few minutes with him and you’ll come to know a gentle but determined human being, who is a fierce teammate and always has time for the fans. DiRuscio was highly touted for the 2012 NLL draft, but bad luck prevented him from being drafted as he suffered a broken leg…
