Following the deadline, only internal transactions are permitted and no free agents may be signed for the remainder of the season. Crowley was placed on the active roster along with offensive left-hander Jordan Robertson who was…
Evaluating the Johnny Powless Era in Vancouver
The Johnny Powless era is over in Vancouver, but did it ever really get off the ground? The 22-year old lefty was shipped to the Minnesota Swarm after just 11 games in the black and red. Coming Vancouver’s way is hometown kid Logan Schuss. Schuss, 24, is a different breed than Powless. He’s a much bigger player and plays that way, too. But there is more to his game; he…
Nassau and Herkimer Owning The NCJAA
Nassau had two more dominant wins this past weekend. One was over County rival Suffolk, and for the first time the best player in the game was not from Long Island but Canadian attack man Josh Byrne, who had six goals and an assist for Nassau.

Battle of NY: Syracuse Takes on Albany
Syracuse has traditionally been the best team in New York. But in recent years, Albany has made a strong run at the Orange. In the last two matchups between the two teams, each one went into overtime. Lyle Thompson leads the nation in points and will look to give SU trouble. The matchup to watch will be Thompson against Syracuse’s top defender, Brandon Mullins. Earlier this week SU head coach…
What Does Kevin Crowley Bring to the Toronto Rock ?

Denver Outlaws Breakout Players to Watch
There are a number of factors that complicate of identifying which players are poised to take the next step at the professional level. Sometimes players make an immediate impact, like Eric Law, Jordan Wolf, or Kieran McArdle, while others put in a ton of work off the field and emerge later down the line. Someone like Jeremy Sieverts comes to mind in this scenario. Sieverts was originally selected 44th overall…
NLL Three Stars: Week 13
Nothing like another exciting week, the Edmonton Rush had a number of stars in their dismantling of Rochester. Colorado rookie goalie Alex Buque gets his first start and earns the victory. Some stars stood out, and others were down and out. Week 13 Three Stars 1—Aaron Bold (Edm—31 saves) To say Bold was a brick wall would be an understatement. Bold faced 34 shots stopping 31 as he…
A Win is A Win For Ohio State
The inaugural Big Ten lacrosse season is underway! We’re in the meat and potatoes time of the year, as the No. 14 Buckeyes only have four games left. So allow me to give you my thoughts from the Buckeyes victory over Penn State on Sunday, as well as a look ahead to their game this Sunday back at the Horseshoe against No. 19 Johns Hopkins. No. 14 Ohio State defeats…
Trade Analysis: Batson to Buffalo
When the Buffalo Bandits final active roster was completed in December, Bandits fans were a little worried that with the departure of Rory Smith to Vancouver this meant that the team were left with only three pure defensemen to keep opponents away from starting goaltender Anthony Cosmo. Looking to help stabilize his defensive corps heading into the end of the regular season and hopefully into the playoffs, Buffalo Bandits general…

Not much action happened Tuesday compared to prior Tuesdays this season. But there were games that were played: Bellarmine 9, #12 Marquette 3 In a day where nothing really happened, this was the biggest outcome of them all. Bellarmine scored three goals in the 2nd to take a 4-1 lead at halftime before Marquette scored two in the 3rd to close the lead to 4-3. However, a five-goal barrage in…
