Hello, In Lacrosse We Trust! My name is Noah Molnar and I am a midfielder for the Denver Outlaws. I played at Lehigh University from 2009-2013 and this is my second year with the Outlaws. I am very excited to be blogging for In Lacrosse We Trust this season and can’t wait to give all of you a behind the scenes look into life in the MLL. For a player…
Matt Poskay Back in MLL There is a lot of talk about the New York Lizards roster. They added Paul Rabil; Ned Crotty and Rob Pannell are in year two of working together; Cody Jamieson will be there at some point. But what is going overlooked is the fact the Lizards have also added another former MLL MVP. Matt Poskay. Poskay was the MVP of the 2010 season with the…
On the team’s mindset coming out of training camp… “We had two sound weeks of training camp, probably not as much time as we would have liked together, but certainly moving forward there is a little bit of a void as we’re trying to find a new direction. Matt Danowski was kind of a larger than life personality for us. Adam Ghitelman on the defensive end too. Both your captains are…
As a continuing effort to ensure Major League Lacrosse remains the premier professional outdoor lacrosse league, we review the rules at the end of each season to identify any changes necessary. In conjunction with the MLL Rules Committee as well as discussions with each Team, the following changes will be implemented during the 2015 season. Below are the changes that will be implemented in the 2015 MLL season… Faceoff 1….
Interestingly enough, Cody Jamieson is on the New York Lizards 25 man roster. Brian Megill from the New England Black Wolves is listed with the Chesapeake Bayhawks, along with Minnesota Swarm defenseman Jason Noble. Cam Flint, John Grant, Zack Greer, Dillon Ward, and Geoff Snider are all with the Denver Outlaws. Mike Manley and Joel White are with the Rochester Rattlers. Bayhawks MLL Inactives: Kevin Crowley (Toronto), Drew Westervelt (Colorado), Joe…
What can be said about the Denver Outlaws that hasn’t been said already? Ok, don’t answer that question because there are a whole host of unknowns heading into the 2015 campaign. On-field fortunes have been increasing for the Outlaws in recent years. After years of playoff disappointments, most notoriously after their undefeated 2013 regular season, they finally raised the Steinfeld Trophy in triumph last year. The harbinger of change is…
Major League Lacrosse teams have finally announced their rosters, which gives us a clearer picture of what to expect from teams this season. The Boston Cannons were a disappointment in 2014 not making the playoffs and are looking to 2015 as a bounce back year, albeit a rebuilding one as well. The Cannons have lost a lot. Stephen Berger and Ryan Boyle retired. Paul Rabil and Mike Stone were traded….
Triax Technologies, Inc and Major League Lacrosse announced a partnership to outfit players for the 2015 season with the Triax Technologies Smart Impact Monitors (SIM) to track and assess head impacts during select practices and games. Use of the Triax SIM makes MLL the first professional sports league in the United States to provide their athletes and trainers with this head impact monitoring technology. “We cannot stop injuries from occurring,…
On today’s MLL conference call, Ohio Machine head coach Bear Davis discussed several topics leading up to their first game. On team chemistry coming out of training camp… We feel that last year, we had some missing pieces to the puzzle, whether guys were in the NLL or still in college and all of them having a hand in our team later in the year. So having those keys guys…
Many of my friends ask me how I can compare the brief history of the MLL to other more established sports leagues. Perhaps it is my love of lacrosse and their lack of familiarity with the sport that has us at such divergent views. The “traditional” sports fan friends tell me that football, basketball, and baseball are American institutions while lacrosse is a sport reserved for boarding school cream puffs…
