Two weeks ago the Mammoth crushed the Stealth 14-5 at the Langley Events Centre. Adam…

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…

The Toronto Rock are 0-5. That sentence alone is enough to make the head of a lacrosse fan spin. The Toronto Rock lost last night to the Georgia Swarm even though they scored 17 goals. The Toronto Rock had 25 goals total before the output of 17 last night. I am so confused that I cannot format this story properly. The Rock’s 0-5 start is now the story of the NLL…

The Toronto Rock are 0-5. Wait, what? Nope, it’s true. The 2015 Eastern Division champions have yet to win a game less than a year removed from their last trip to the NLL final. The games they have lost so far have all been divisional games versus Georgia, Rochester, and Buffalo. The Rock are dead last in the NLL. In their first four games, the Rock didn’t score more than…
