The newest Oshawa FireWolves forward, Dawson…

Canadian Tire Centre was the place to be in Canada’s capital on Friday night.

Time for some honesty; Vancouver won this game 12-8, and while the final score is indicative of a relatively close game, Vancouver controlled this one for most of it. This contest was a track…

Up to this point early in the season, both the Buffalo Bandits and Ottawa Black Bears found themselves in the middle of the pack.

All in all, that means proper adjustments were made to avoid a skid on both sides. That point was going to come to an end in…

The last time there was a National Lacrosse League game in Alberta’s capital city, Mark Matthews, Chris Corbiel, Riley Loewen and the rest of the Rush were celebrating Edmonton’s first ever NLL title. Sadly, the team would leave for Saskatoon and go on to win two more championships with a stacked roster that had been largely forged in Edmonton. Fast forward 10+ years and the NLL was back in…

It was the first installment of the I-90 rivalry of the season on Saturday night, as the Buffalo Bandits made the hour-long trip down the thruway to clash with the Rochester Knighthawks. These games are always fun and intense because of the split crowd, as well as the disdain both clubs have for each other. After all, these two play for bragging rights in the entire state of New York….

The visiting Rush came in as arguably the league’s hottest team, while the Desert Dogs were looking to string some wins together and become more cohesive as a new look team. Now I’ll pause…
