For the second week in a row the Calgary Roughnecks (0-6) will look for their first win of the 2015 season against their division rival the Vancouver Stealth (3-3). With 3 of their 6 losses coming off a 1-goal deficit, they have the talent and roster to do just that in front of what is sure to be a pumped up crowd at the Scotiabank Saddledome. Entering tonight’s game…
With the Toronto Rock set to take to the road for the next three weeks following Friday night’s game against the New England Black Wolves, picking up a win was crucial, and while the Rock needed extra time to get the job done, they did just that, dropping the Black Wolves by a score of 13-12.

Week 7 of the NLL season was the busiest week yet, with seven games taking place. With every NLL team seeing at least one game of action this past week, NLL rookies where on full display. First overall pick in 2014, Ben McIntosh continues to separate himself from the rest of his draft class and fellow rookies, as his back to back four point games this past week allowed the Rush to go 2-0 and leap…
When New England travels up to Toronto to face the Rock, it will be matching the East Division’s best record against the worst. New England has been changing their roster around much more in the recent weeks, so it will be interesting to see how they look both offensively and defensively. For the Black Wolves on offense, adding Brett Bucktooth to the lineup produced immediate benefits. In his first game…
Tyler Digby has arrived on the NLL’s big stage as the Vancouver Stealth’s go-to gritty power forward with silky smooth mitts. Digby is only in his second year with the Stealth, but has put up gaudy offensive numbers working as a tandem on the right side with sharpshooting Rhys Duch. The pair has been deadly at times; they are currently one-two in the Stealth’s scoring leaders department. They have a…
Heading into the 2015 NLL season the Toronto Rock were faced with two key injuries at the offensive end of the floor. 2014 leading scorer, Garrett Billings had suffered a torn ACL towards the end of last season, and would be lost to the club for at least the first half of the 2015 season. If that wasn’t bad enough, captain Colin Doyle, who racked up 72 points last season suffered a…
The Calgary Roughnecks winless one third of the way through the 2015 NLL season. When a team gets off to such a poor start there is usually plenty of blame to go around. But one of the main targets of scrutiny for the Roughnecks right now is the goaltending tandem of Mike Poulin and Frankie Scigliano. The Poulin Wall has been one of the keys to success for the Roughnecks…
Following a home and home series with the Colorado Mammoth, the Edmonton Rush have taken over the lead spot in the Western Division after capturing both wins.

The first clash that took place in Denver…
