NLL Three Stars: Week Six
Week 6 of the National Lacrosse League featured five games and tons of goals; 116 goals to be exact. That’s an average of over 23 goals per game. Pretty impressive, especially when you consider that neither the Edmonton Rush nor the Rochester Knighthawks broke into double digits in their one goal game (won 8-7 by the Rush). The Rush (5-0) remain as the only unbeaten team in the NLL but…
NLL Rookie Report: Week 6
Vancouver newcomers shining in the midst of team slump, Philadelphia’s Thul continuing his scoring touch, Rush rookies remaining undefeated, and Dillon Ward getting the Mammoth back on track highlight the recent NLL rookie action. Despite suffering a pair of losses over the weekend, Vancouver’s B.C. rookie tandem of Tyler Digby and Cody Bremner continued their stellar play.

Net Impact: Scoring Goals Good, Not Scoring Goals Bad
In the last two seasons the Rochester Knighthawks have won the Champion’s Cup while playing excellent defense and managing to score just enough to get past their opponents. They have, in fact, scored just 20 goals between the last two Champion’s Cup games combined, against just 16 goals surrendered. This past weekend’s Super Bowl seemed to indicate that defense is more important than offense, but that doesn’t necessarily translate from…

Stealth Rookies Finding Success
On June 27, 2013 the Stealth organization once again shocked fans with the announcement that they would be moving the franchise from Everett, WA to Langley B.C. There were rumors and speculation leading up to the move, that the team was on borrowed time. With a sweet deal in place that their current home Comcast Arena could not match, it was a no brainer for the organization. With the move…
Better Than The Super Bowl: Rush Take Down KHawks
The most anticipated game in the National Lacrosse League was exactly as advertised as the two-time defending champion Rochester Knighthawks entered the home turf of the undefeated Edmonton Rush. Aaron Bold and Matt Vinc supplied outstanding goaltending, both defences smothered and made life very uncomfortable for the offences, the intensity and nastiness was at a perfect level and when the guys on offence were able to get the ball by…
