This week is a very short schedule.. 3 games and only 5 teams in action. A lot is on the line as we make the push for the 2013 playoffs. Can Edmonton continue the torrid pace on the road? Can Calgary start winning at home and get back to the top of the West? Can the Rock roll and take advantage of a team playing back to back and win…
Some pretty sick goals here from Cody Jamieson, Jay Card, Matt Gibson, Mark Matthews and more, along with Tyler Richards showing his ability in between the pipes.

According to reports, the NLL will not bring in any new teams for the 2014 season. From commissioner George Daniel: “Adding expansion franchises in a year with an expiring CBA is next to impossible as any new owner would want to understand the system before investing,” adds George Daniel, NLL commissioner.

We got a chance to catch up with NLL commissioner George Daniel at the Toronto Rock vs Philadelphia Wings contest yesterday. Have a listen! George Daniel

The latest lost was to the division leading Toronto Rock by a score of 13-8. The Wings were without the services of Brodie Merrill (concussion) and defender Brett Manney (hamstring). Jeff Reynolds returned to the…
This certainly wasn’t the way the Bandits had hoped their home and home with Colorado would go. Before last weekend, Colorado was a lowly 2-7. It was looking like they would certainly be the team to miss the playoffs this season. However, they won both their games against the Bandits and have jolted life into their season. The Bandits put up a fight last night, but were never able to…
