Yesterday I spoke with Jeremy Boltus of the Charlotte Hounds. Here is what he had to say. What has this season been like? : This season has been quite a roller coaster for myself. Â It all started in doubt of whether I could actually play this season or not, and I ended up finding out about a few weeks before our first game when I arrived in Oklahoma. Â As everyone…
Hamilton Nationals attackman Casey Powell will be suspended one game by Major League Lacrosse for a hit he had on the Chesapeake Bayhawks last week. That means he will be unavailable to the Nationals this weekend when they take on the Rochester Rattlers. This season, Powell has three games, where he has four goals and two assists to add up to six points. Powell skipped NLL season with the Rochester…
We finally stopped the losing streak and started playing as a team again! Charlotte is a very difficult team to match up against because they have a tremendously talented roster, and while though their record might not show it, they are going to gel soon and be a tough team to stop. We went into Charlotte riding a 2 game losing streak, so it was a delicate situation to make…

The Hounds have come close to a couple wins, losing by one…

Cahill is a Boston native, but does not have any points this season. He had a career high eighteen points last season. Ross was a part of the MLL Championship the Cannons won last season, and was actually a vital part of the offense….
The Boston Cannons are in a slump. They have now lost two in a row, tonight falling to the Long Island Lizards by a score of 13-10. The Cannons fall into a tie for second place with the Denver Outlaws, while the Chesapeake Bayhawks move into first place with their win over the Charlotte Hounds. Max Seibald, Matt Gibson and Ryan Young each had two goals to lead the Lizards…
