Saturday night was country night in Vancouver and there wasn’t a more willing dance partner than the visitors from Cowtown. The Calgary Roughnecks took the lead early as the Warriors seemingly tripped over their own two left feet. When the dust settled, the boys from Stampede City two-stepped right outta of Van City with a 14-7 win. The only thing missing was the after party at Cowboys. Much of the…
The Week 5 contest between the Vancouver Warriors and the Colorado Mammoth may have been the most wild game in recent history, ending in a 12-11 OT win for the Mammoth. I am going to try my best to portray this to y’all, but I highly suggest you rewatch this one. Let’s start from the top, and we’re sorry in advance, Vancouver faithful. Vancouver jumped out to a five-goal lead…

Saturday night’s contest between the Vancouver Warriors and Panther City Lacrosse Club featured two teams that desperately needed a win. PCLC definitely needed the win more, as teams are starting to jockey for their playoff position. PCLC is right on the cusp, and well, Vancouver is just looking for moral victories at this point.

In a chippy, closely contested game, Calgary scored two late goals propelling them…
