Surely not many MLL fans expected to see the Rochester Rattlers at the top of the standings heading into the final quarter of the season did they? I certainly did not. Rochester is the team that traded arguably their two best players, Matt Striebel and Ned Crotty, to their in-state rivals in the New York Lizards before the season started. The Rattlers looked like a team devoid of any offensive…

One of Major League Lacrosse’s original franchises, the team has enjoyed its fair of good seasons and its fair share of bad seasons. Rochester has not made the playoffs since 2008 when the Rattlers won their only MLL Championship. The Rochester franchise even moved north of the border for the 2009 and 2010 seasons until the old Chicago Machine…

Traveling to Denver with Team Iroquois was a life changing experience for me. I was eager to play and couldn’t wait to represent my people. The pride I was feeling was indescribable. A heavy disappointment hit me when I wasn’t named to the 23 man roster. I wanted to play so bad. I realized disappointments happen on our lives and we have to deal with it. I held my head…

Right now, they are third in the MLL standings and are one game behind both the Rochester Rattlers and Denver Outlaws for first place. The season got off to a great start as the offense looked as good as advertised in a 18-15 win over the Rattlers. However,…
