While most other teams are looking ahead to Week 2 of the 2015 NLL season, the Buffalo Bandits will have a bye week. This bye week will not be a simple “take the day off” bye, they will be in full practice mode and looking ahead to their next opponent, the Vancouver Stealth, on January 17th. Right now, the Bandits are in a good position. While they dropped the first…

In a near sellout crowd, it was easy to tell that the former Wings organization moved into a growing lacrosse hotbed. Kids were coming into the game with sticks and helmets, and there were about 1,000 fans waiting at the doors before they even opened. The high intensity crowd, played at the Mohegan Sun Arena, helped carry the Black Wolves to their first ever win by a score of 12-8 over the Buffalo Bandits….
The Buffalo Bandits will look to get a win in their home opener against the Edmonton Rush. The Bandits played last night against the New England Black Wolves, in a game which saw the offense and special teams struggle, leading to a bitter 12-8 loss. They’ll have to make some big changes if they want to beat the Rush, a team that is probably the better of the two (Edmonton…

The Buffalo Bandits picked up many solid rookies in both the draft and in the free agency pool. Here is the Bandits rookie breakdown. Jerome Thompson (Forward)- One of the most significant free agent signings in my opinion was that of Jerome Thompson. Jerome is the second eldest of the famed “Thompson Brothers” (others being Jeremy, Miles, and Lyle) who took the lacrosse world by storm. After originally being drafted…
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.

Jerome Thompson continued his consistent preseason play by getting three assists, while the rookie Corey Fowler put…
