Now that he heads into his second year with the club, he feels he will be more prepared. “It took some time to feel comfortable with my teammates and with the coaching staff.” said Self. “I always told people it takes longer than normal in the NLL…
Kevin Croswell is an interesting goaltender. He backed up Nick Patterson in Minnesota for a few years. Then it looked like he would be getting his shot when he was traded to Edmonton. However, the Rush also traded for Aaron Bold from Rochester, and he took the job and performed with flying colors. Crowell would be cut as they opted to go with Brodie MacDonald as their backup. After being…

The Edmonton Rush were not too thrilled with the career low 31 points they got out of Aaron Wilson. However, they still have to understand he has been a prolific goal scorer in the NLL, and they will need to find a way to replace his potential production on the right side. Edmonton didn’t have a stellar offense in 2012 but still managed to get to the Champions Cup. They…

Bandits acquire Aaron Wilson from Edmonton for Jeremy Thompson!! You may wonder.. Why am I writing about this? Here is why…. Everything about this trade leads to the non-signing of star forward Luke Wiles.

Why they did that trade…

According to Steve Bermel from IL Indoor, the Buffalo Bandits and Edmonton Rush have made a trade. According to the report, Jeremy Thompson will be shipped to Edmonton with right handed shooter Aaron Wilson joining the Bandits.

Steve “Chugger” Dietrich enters his first season as the Buffalo Bandits’ general manager after a busy off-season. Since taking over for Darris Kilgour, who will stay with the Bandits as bench boss, the franchise’s all time winningest goaltender has brought in several new players via trades or free agency. The highlight of Dietrich’s accusations is Shawn Williams. One of the NLL’s most prolific scorers, Williams has amassed over 1, 000…
