This past weekend saw us up in action for a home game against the Pinewoods Smoke, a team who we recently beat in OT on the road by a final of 13-12 two weeks ago in a tightly contested game. We were missing many regulars so the score was probably a bit closer than it should have been for that one, but it set a good tone for the rematch…
Hi ILWT Readers, I hope that everyone is excited for Memorial Day Weekend which is easily the best weekend of college lacrosse. All 8 teams (D1 through D3), have worked tremendously hard since the fall, giving them a chance to earn collegiate lacrosse glory. I wanted to give a quick shout out to Tufts, who is squaring off against Salisbury in the D3 title game. I played against Tufts all…
Hello, ILWT! Week 4 of the Major League Lacrosse season brought the very talented Rochester Rattlers to the Mile High City. After a disappointing 6-8 season in 2013, the Rattlers were off to a hot 2-1 start in 2014. The Rattlers are a young, explosive, and versatile team and we knew we would need a full 60-minute effort to come out on top. On a personal note, I badly wanted…
Hi ILWT Readers, Apologies for the lateness of this post, it has been a crazy week at the office. As such, I will probably keep this week’s update shorter than most…. With Chris Eck graduating from the Fuqua School of Business (Duke University), I was awarded the opportunity to dress against the Denver Outlaw in Week 3. Needless to say, I had difficulty focusing on my work and studies all…
Last week we made the long trip down to Salamanca, NY to play against the Allegany Arrows at the gorgeous Seneca Allegany Community Centre. This is a top of the line facility complete with a basketball court, swimming pool, splash pad, sports field, weight room, and a lacrosse floor of course. This place is always lots of fun to visit and play in so needless to say we were all…
Hey guys, Max Schmidt here. It’s been a couple weeks since my last blog, so I’m here to bring you up to date with the Machine. We are currently sitting at 1-1. We started the season with a win against the Charlotte Hounds in Charlotte. This was the first time that the Ohio Machine had won a season opener. It was great to get the first win under our belts,…
Hi ILWT Readers, Another MLL weekend is now in the books, once again showcasing the league’s intense parity. After checking out the weekend’s scores, I can safely say that every MLL roster is incredibly talented and capable of winning against any opponent. This week, the Cannons travelled up to Rochester to face the Rattlers in a Friday night contest. The six hour ride to Rochester reminds me of…
Photo Credit: Martin Bouda Once again I attended the Aleš Hrebesky Memorial tournament in the Czech Republic this year. I didn’t feel like entering my Love You To Death team with Plunkett this time around because sometimes it’s too hard to find dudes that are good at lacrosse, and that aren’t sketchy, but I agreed to play for my old buddies from the Boston Megamen. Here is a long-winded account of…
What’s up ILWT readers? I’m back blogging again, this time for the Six Nations Slash Sr. B lacrosse team as we compete for supremacy in the Can-Am Sr.B loop this summer. So far, we are 2-1 on the young season after we posted an opening day win over the defending Can-Am champs and last summer’s league rep at the Presidents Cup Onondaga Redhawks 16-14 on home floor. Winning that game…
I am a Southern California native, so my trip out to beautiful Ft. Lauderdale, Florida began with a 10:30 pm red eye out of Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday evening. Besides my row mate on the plane being a 6-year-old pug named Peter, my flight out was rather uneventful and I was able to sleep for a majority of the flight. I traveled out to Florida with Denver Outlaws…
