Now that the dust has settled, the players and the fans finally have a chance to look around and determine what 2015 will mean for the newly established club. In perhaps the biggest offseason in MLS history, the Cannons will be going without the face of the franchise, Paul Rabil, in 2015 in exchange for Max Siebald. Returning to the team is Will Manny and Kevin Buchanan. The two tallied…
As the Denver Outlaws head into training camp in 2015 the question on most fans’ minds is whether the team can sustain the success of recent campaigns. This is the organization that went undefeated in the regular season in 2013 before falling in the semifinals, and that hoisted the Steinfield trophy in 2014. There are two items to keep your eye on as training camp starts: 1. How will the…
In my last column I discussed how the foundation of Major League Lacrosse provided field players with the opportunity to play professionally after graduation. The league is entering its fourteenth season despite naysayers predicting the dissolution every year. Fourteen years may appear to be the miniscule compared to the history of the NFL, NBA, NHL, or MLB. The MLL proves that it is the league that just will not fold….
This has been one of the more memorable off seasons in Major League Lacrosse recent history, and that’s thanks to a lot of transactions we have seen occur. As we head towards training camp, here is a reminder on what we have seen happen in the off season. Paul Rabil, Mike Stone, Max Seibald Trade This has been the ultimate blockbuster of all time in MLL. Paul Rabil, arguably the…

Working with ESPN3 will make it simpler for fans who want to watch great MLL action…
Geoff Snider Prior to the supplemental draft the Outlaws shipped the every-reliable Terry Kimener to Charlotte in exchange for faceoff guru Geoff Snider. Some may remember that the Outlaws drafted Snider as the 17th overall pick (2nd round) in the 2006 college draft so this is Snider’s second tour of duty with the team. Snider is no stranger to the Denver area, having played college ball at the University of…
BROCKPORT, NY (March 17, 2015) The Rochester Rattlers of Major League Lacrosse have come to terms with The College at Brockport to announce Eunice Kennedy Shriver Stadium as the host site of their 2015 season. The stadium is located on the campus of the SUNY institution in the heart of downtown Brockport NY and also plays host to several major events in addition to their own collegiate schedule, including the…
This is my first column about the MLL and since every journey starts with a single step it seems fitting to start at the beginning of the league. The league was founded by Jake Steinfeld, Dave Morrow, and Tim Robertson seemingly out of thin air and will power. These gentlemen pulled together and even though it took three years before the first official season they never gave up and the…
The only thing more difficult than building a championship team is sustaining a championship team. Don’t be surprised if the Steinfeld Cup casts a long shadow in Denver. It will be interesting to see whether the team will step out into the light or wilt under the pressure of being the reigning MLL champions. The road to back to Atlanta started back in September when the team announced their 23…
