Jovan Miller is a name you didn’t hear all through the 2014 season. Miller started his career in Major League Lacrosse back in 2011 with Rochester, only seeing the field for 7 games and scoring 4 goals and 4 assists that season. The following season, Miller was picked up by the Charlotte Hounds. There he saw a lot more playing time, becoming a regular. He played all 14 games of the…
Lizards Lose Second Straight, Fall to Launch
The once undefeated, untouchable, invincible New York Lizards are now heading into a spiral free fall. The Lizards dropped yet another game to a bottom-of-the-standings team. Last week, it was the Charlotte Hounds who beat the Lizards, and this time it was Florida Launch claiming victory 16-12. Once again, injuries played a huge role in the game as the several key players were missing from both teams. The Lizards were…
MLL Players to Watch: Week Twelve
After the Florida Launch took down the New York Lizards last night, there are still three games tonight with almost every team in the playoff race. Who will step up? Joe Walters, Chesapeake, Midfield – after playing a whole season with the Rochester Knighthawks, Walters has made a huge impact for the Bayhawks. He’s played three games and tallied thirteen points so far. His energy and vision are unlike anyone…
MSL Rookie Report: Powless Shines
1. Johnny Powless – Six Nations Chiefs A notable omission from the Week 3 MSL Rookie Report, as Johnny Powless has already won back to back Mann Cups with the Six Nations Chiefs. However with that being said, he is still technically a rookie in the MSL this season, yet has been producing like the veteran he is. With no Cody Jamieson on the left side of the Chiefs offence…

Comparing Early NLL Mock Drafts: Part One
This week we unveiled two early mock drafts- one from Mike Mackley and one from Chris Vale. Both are top lacrosse talent evaluators and have a pulse on what might happen in the draft. However, their drafts vary. My job is to interpret their drafts. At least, the first three rounds of them. There are going to be 1,000 mock drafts we do this summer. If you hate mock drafts,…

Outlaws Look to Stay on Track Against Hounds
Everyone’s a winner! Well, at least coming into this week’s contest, but the Outlaws and Hounds got to go for ice cream after last week’s wins. The Denver John Grant Juniors took down the Rochester Rattlers in a 22-21 OT thriller, while Charlotte upset the previously undefeated New York Lizards. Both teams should be riding high from those wins and looking to build momentum. Charlotte needs to win out to…
NCAA Team Reviews: Hofstra Pride
For the better part of four months, many of us watched some exciting college lacrosse, whether it was on TV, online, or in person. There were good games, which included all of Championship Weekend, and there were bad games, such as low scoring affairs and of course, the horrendous winter weather. I take a look back at all 69 Division I teams and how they fared this season and what…
Rabil-Less Lizards Look to Rebound Against Launch
With a perfect season now out of the question, the New York Lizards will look to avoid falling to another team and complete the season series sweep as they visit the Florida Launch this week. The Lizards (8-1) and Launch (1-8) sit on opposite ends of the standings with reciprocal records. Last week, The Lizards, who were looking to become the second team in MLL history to achieve a perfect…
