Boca Raton—The Boston Cannons traveled to south Florida this weekend for their first-ever meeting with the Florida Launch. The Cannons won’t be very eager to come back after getting trounced 23-17 by a much better Florida Launch group tonight.

Hi ILWT Readers, Another week in the MLL and another one goal game for the Cannons. Unfortunately, we were on the losing end, falling to the New York Lizards in overtime. It was a unique match up given the circumstances regarding the World Games, as both teams were missing multiple world-class athletes at each position. With Chris Eck and Greg Gurenlian both out with Team USA commitments, I was given…
Boca Raton, FL—Everything is on the line for the Florida Launch as they host the Boston Cannons for the home finale of their inaugural season. After four consecutive losses, Florida needs to bring it these last three weekends to remain in playoff contention. A loss this weekend would more than likely eliminate any chance of postseason play.
