Casey Powell has retired and unretired from both professional lacrosse leagues so many times now, it’s hard to believe we might actually be seeing the end of the legend’s career. Yesterday during a promotional Twitter question and answer session with fans, Powell announced that he would be retiring from Major League Lacrosse at the end of this season. Powell, currently a member of the Florida Launch, is third in the…

I am very close to completely jumping on the Atlanta Blaze bandwagon. It is hard to figure out how an expansion team will do in their first year, but so far, the Blaze look to be fighting for a playoff spot. Now that some of the pieces are coming together, you can see that this is not your ordinary first-year franchise. Also, when you realize Myles Jones, the #1 overall…

McDaniels: Early Retirements a Reality of MLL

May 12, 2016

0 comment

Retirements are part of sports. In Major League Lacrosse, they hold two different meanings. The traditional hang it up after a lengthy career is what we know in most professional sports. The other retirement only seen in newer leagues such as the MLL is when a young, emerging star calls it a career while still at the top of their game. We saw that last week when Mike Sawyer of…

The Machine appeared to be the favorites against the home team as Denver suffered an uncharacteristic 2015 where they failed to make the playoffs.
