Coverage of the Buffalo Bandits, Rochester Knighthawks, Rochester Rattlers and New York Lizards and coverage of Syracuse, Albany, Manhatten and more.
Well, a new season is upon us, and Buffalo Bandits fans have a lot to be excited about. First and foremost, it will be the first full season since the shortened 2019-2020 campaign. The last game the Bandits played was March 8th 2020, which was an 11-9 loss to Halifax. If you compare the roster from that game to present day, a lot is the same. However, there were many…
We’re dipping into the archives today to relive THAT game – you know the one. Sunday, January 19th, 2020 at Wells Fargo Center. The Philadelphia Wings and Rochester Knighthawks combined for 103 penalty minutes in a 12-4 Wings’ win. Things got a little nuts in the third period with several different scrums. We love lacrosse for the skill, but a little silliness isn’t always a bad thing. Click the link…
NLL games will be a little less meaningful this season without Andrew Suitor on the floor. The heart-and-soul player announced his retirement from the game last month. Suitor scored 58 goals and 63 assists throughout his 10-year-career – pretty good for a defenseman who wasn’t expected to be a big contributor on the scoreboard. He had a knack for transition-style highlight-reel goals that made him memorable. He might have won…

Naysayers, take a seat. The Waterdogs are on top of the world as regular season champions, and they’re not done yet. They want the Premier Lacrosse League title, too. A 10-9 win over Atlas on Saturday afternoon gave the Waterdogs a 6-3 record, putting them in first place in the PLL standings. That earned them a bye to the semifinals, and they now await the winner of the Whipsnakes/Redwoods quarterfinal….
While most of the country had called it a night and gone to bed, a few die-hards stayed up to take in the back half of a Friday night double header featuring the Archers LC taking on the Chaos LC in PLL action. An earlier three-hour lightening delay pushed back the start of the game to 11:30 p.m. local Albany time. Although the sun had set hours earlier, the conditions…
Summer lacrosse is often met with Mother Nature attempting to steal the show. Friday night’s PLL game between the Whipsnakes and Redwoods was one of those games. Tied at three at the of the first quarter, and with the sun still trying to shine, the game was postponed for lightning in the area. The delay didn’t hamper the Whipsnakes, who roared back from a 9-8 third quarter deficit to win…
Is there anything better than a Sunday afternoon battle for first place on Premier Lacrosse League weekend? For fans, no. Especially when they were treated to the back-and-forth affair that was Whipsnakes/Archers for top spot in PLL. For Archers, yes. A win would’ve been better than just being part of the epic clash as Whipsnakes had three players with hat-tricks en route to a 15-14 victory over Archers. Archers entered…
The most anticipated game of PLL’s Week 4 featured the league leading Archers LC taking on the reigning champion Whipsnakes LC and this game definitely lived up to the hype. In a wonderfully offensive affair, it was Jay Carlson scoring on a turn-around jump shot with 0:32 seconds left that proved to be the game winner in a 15-14 Whipsnakes victory. The win moves the Whips to 4-1 and vaults…

Both teams were coming off losses, and eager to move up in the league standings with the All-Star break approaching. “It was a back-and-forth game, and…
