The New York Riptide look a little different this week. After their third consecutive loss, the team made some cosmetic changes they hope will provide some deeper results. However, the changes will have to play out over the long run, as they fell to 0-4 after a Sunday afternoon 11-8 loss to Rochester. First, they fired general manager Jim Veltman and named executive vice president Rich Lisk as the interim…

The Colorado Mammoth won the 2022 NLL Championship with superior defense, goaltending, physical play and a never-say-die attitude. It’s somehow fitting that on the night they raised the Championship banner to the rafters of Ball Arena, the Mammoth needed all of those traits to come from behind to beat the Calgary Roughnecks 9-8. Trailing 5-2 at halftime, off the heels of Jesse King’s second of the night, the defending champs…

The Philadelphia Wings flew into Vegas to take on the Las Vegas Desert Dogs Friday night. Or, perhaps, it was Ben McIntosh who flew into Vegas to take on the Las Vegas Desert Dogs. And take them on he did. The Wings stunned the Desert Dogs with a 14-9 victory that would not have been possible without a five-goal effort from McIntosh. Las Vegas sniped the first goal with New…

It’s no surprise to anyone that wintertime in Buffalo, New York can be quite nasty. But this past week leading up to Friday night’s showdown with Halifax was another level. Snow, wind and bone-chilling temperatures all caused blizzard-like conditions in the Western New York area. Some even said that this topped the Blizzard of ‘77 (if you know, you know). With that, came people getting stranded, having no power, or…

The buildup was palpable. From the moment San Diego landed the biggest free agent in the entire NLL, the eyes of the league were focused on this night. The return of Curtis Dickson to Calgary. Arguably one of the most beloved players in franchise history, “Superman” had wowed Roughneck fans for over a decade with highlight reel goals and dominant offensive performances. Bitter sweetly, the Rigger faithful were again treated…

If you’re looking for inspiration that a new year can be the new you, then don’t look any further than the Halifax Thunderbirds. Last year, they got off to a hot start winning eight out of nine games. But they lost four in a row in March and dropped seven of their last 10 games, including the playoffs, to end the year. In their first two games this year they…
