While Anthony Cosmo was out with a knee injury this past Saturday when the Buffalo Bandits took on the Colorado Mammoth, they saw a rookie shine with an opportunity. “I was definitely feeling some pressure, but I got lots of support from Cosmo and the whole team going into to the game so I felt that I was well prepared” said David DiRuscio to ILWT after making his first career…
What a week!!! A battle of division leaders went to OT, a battle between the teams who played in the Champion’s Cup was decided again by a goal. We even had a goalie score a goal. Calgary loses their fourth one-goal game of the year. Most of the league is off this week as only two games are slated this weekend. But beware, the weekend of March 13-15 is sure…
Tonight Lacrosse Magazine reported that Garrett Billings is unlikely to return to the Toronto Rock after some comments made by the team owner and general manager Jamie Dawick. Via Lacrosse Magazine: “Garrett and I have a difference of opinion on what he is financially worth. Garrett was offered a contract from T back in the summer. “He wasn’t in a rush to sign it because he was injured. He countered with…
As the Rochester Knighthawks defeated the Calgary Roughnecks on Saturday, they also entered a team legend into their hall of fame in Casey Zaph. We caught up with him after the game this week to discuss his immortality in Rochester.
We had some very exciting lacrosse and some unbelievable performances this past weekend. Some of which included goaltenders not only standing on their head to make some unreal saves, but also had a goalie score a goal, and not on himself. 1-Rob Hellyer–(5G/5A–Tor) Hellyer was a beast on Friday night. Hellyer’s first goal at :35 of the second quarter put the Rock in the lead until Edmonton tied it…
The Toronto Rock are on a roll; the team is 8-1 and comfortably in first place in the east. However, one mystery surrounds the team; where is Garrett Billings? Billings’ agent tweeted earlier in the month that the forward was cleared to play in the National Lacrosse League. He tore his ACL against the Vancouver Stealth last season and was projected to return in February. However, one problem remains. The…
The Knighthawks celebrated Hall of Fame Night tonight by defeating the Calgary Roughnecks, 12-11 at Connors & Ferris Field at The Blue Cross. With former players looking on, Cody Jamieson scored the game-winner with 3:48 to play to extend Rochester’s winning streak to four games. The game was a rematch of the 2014 NLL Championship Series and it once again featured a late Matt Vinc save to preserve a one-goal…
Saturday Night’s game between the visiting Minnesota Swarm (3-5) and the Vancouver Stealth (4-4) saw two teams trying to stay at .500 in the first half of the season. Vancouver’s key to success would be silencing rookie sensation Miles Thompson, for the Swarm keeping Vancouver’s potent offense at bay, and shaking the confidence of Tyler Richards early. The first quarter saw Vancouver jump out to an early lead off a…
Last night Vancouver Stealth goaltender Tyler Richards scored the first goalie goal in the National Lacrosse League since 2009.
As the Calgary Roughnecks face the Rochester Knighthawks in a rematch of the 2014 NLL Champions Cup, they will be without one of their top scorers. Dane Dobbie will be out for Calgary this game, and their next, after he lost an appeal on his two game suspension. His suspension is due to a hit on Vancouver defenseman Rory Smith from February 14th. “He’d [Travis Cornwall] play up front for…
