Coverage of the Buffalo Bandits, Rochester Knighthawks, Rochester Rattlers and New York Lizards and coverage of Syracuse, Albany, Manhatten and more.
The most anticipated game in the National Lacrosse League was exactly as advertised as the two-time defending champion Rochester Knighthawks entered the home turf of the undefeated Edmonton Rush. Aaron Bold and Matt Vinc supplied outstanding goaltending, both defences smothered and made life very uncomfortable for the offences, the intensity and nastiness was at a perfect level and when the guys on offence were able to get the ball by…

After their first defeat of the 2014 season against the Philadelphia Wings, the Buffalo Bandits (4-1) are catching fire. Riding a four game win streak heading into their Week 6 matchup against the Toronto Rock (2-2) tonight at the First Niagara Center, Buffalo will try to hold on to their fragile half-game lead in the Eastern Division. Tonight’s meeting against the Rock will be the second time that these two…
The Buffalo Bandits have become the Cinderella story of the NLL this 2014 season. Though they were off to a rough start, the team has turned around their performance for the better and are currently riding a four-game win streak. On the roster are two key people: Coach Troy Cordingley and veteran player John Tavares. A question I’d like to ask is, “What or who is responsible for this drastic…
STONY BROOK (NR) 2013 Record: 7-9 The Skinny It should be an exciting year for Stony Brook. Jim Nagle’s team returns mostly intact with a young, experienced core ready to make a move on the national scene. While questions exist in the backfield, the team’s offense will push them towards the top of the America East. Stony Brook nearly knocked off Albany in last year’s conference tournament, but just fell…
HOFSTRA (#24) 2013 Record: 7-7 The Skinny Hofstra got off to a strong start in 2013 winning five of their opening six games, including an impressive road win over No. 2 Notre Dame. However, the Pride dropped four one-goal affairs and only won two of their final eight games to drop out of postseason contention. Focusing on the little things will be the biggest challenge for Seth Tierney and his…

I still loved playing and being around…
