The Rock boast a nice mix of veteran leadership and youth up front, with Brandon Benn, and Brett Hickey joining veterans Kasey Beirnes, Stephan LeBlanc, Josh Sanderson, Kevin Ross, and Rob…
Photo by Garrett James With NLL rosters smaller, like last season, and more and more talent without teams, a lot of lacrosse media has been discussing expansion. For the sake of argument, us at ILWT have developed three viable potential NLL rosters that could compete in 2015. We came together with three markets the league is exploring- Philadelphia, Winnipeg, and Montreal. To make the rosters make sense, we placed most…

With some really great feelings after the first weekend of camp, there is a lot of momentum going into our second weekend. The time line for this weekend is much the same as the previous one without the long trip to Rochester.
