The Buffalo Bandits play host to the New England Blackowlves this evening at the First Niagara Center. These two foes met just last week where we saw the Blackwolves get the 15-11 win at the Mohegan Sun Arena. The Bandits surely would like to even the score and get a win to rebound after that upsetting performance last week. The Blackwolves are slowly proving each and every week that they…
The first-place Colorado Mammoth (4-1) head north of the border to face the Vancouver Stealth (1-3) tonight in a key West Division tilt. Although Colorado is coming off their first loss of the season—a 12-10 defeat at the hands of the Saskatchewan Rush—they are returning to the location of their biggest win of the season. Two weeks ago the Mammoth crushed the Stealth 14-5 at the Langley Events Centre. Adam…
The Saskatoon Rush and the Calgary Roughnecks get set to do battle at the SaskTel Centre tonight and the Rush fans are going to get the chance to witness the fierce rivalry formally know as the Battle of Alberta. Even though the Rush no longer reside in Alberta, the hatred for their formal provincial rivals lives on. “Nothing has changed,” stresses Rush head coach Derek Keenan. These teams have played…
A lot of action this past weekend, and Colorado, who averages 16 goals a game was held to 10 by the tight defense of the Saskatchewan Rush. The Georgia Swarm complete a weekend sweep of Toronto (20-17) and Rochester (13-9). The Black Wolves are top in the East at 3-1 and could have been 4-0 if not for a little lapse in defense versus Calgary. With Shawn Evans on the…
All Star Game? The National Hockey League just held what may have been its best all star game to date. The last time the National Lacrosse League held an all star exhibition was in 2012, four seasons ago. The game was played in Buffalo. Before 2012, the all star game had been played consistently every year since 2004 (other than 2010). With the exception of the 2011 game, which was…

I…
Third Star: Evan Kirk—New England Black Wolves Although offence stole the headlines in Week 5, Evan Kirk‘s dominance in between the pipes reminded us lacrosse isn’t all about filling the net.
