A dismal opening to the 2016 has been erased with the great play of Rose, who made 46 saves Sunday afternoon en route to defeating the visiting Vancouver Stealth 9-6 at the Air Canada Centre. Vancouver and Toronto are both last in their respective divisions. The win was just Toronto’s third of the season,…
The Saskatchewan Rush did not disappoint the largest crowd in franchise history last night as they easily handled the Georgia Swarm 14-8 at Sasktel Centre.

This game was not close at all as the Rush jumped to a 4-1 lead…
After coming away with two huge Western Division victories over the Saskatchewan Rush and Vancouver Stealth in recent weeks, the Buffalo Bandits were faced with the difficult challenge of making it three wins in a row when they faced off against their Thruway rivals the Rochester Knighthawks at the First Niagara Center Friday night.

At the midpoint of the 2016 season, the Georgia Swarm and the Saskatchewan Rush will face off this evening in Saskatoon.

It’s time for some teams to prove one of two things. Either they’re contenders when May comes around, or they still need some work to do. It’s been about a month since the season got underway, and we’ve seen Towson, Hofstra, and even Rutgers rise into the Top 20, while Duke, Virginia, and Georgetown have been disappointments thus far. But is this the biggest weekend of the season? Sure there’s been…
If there were ever a game as weighted as Denver and Notre Dame this weekend, it was last year’s semifinal match up between these two power houses.

The Irish are hungry…
