If you’re ready to step up your game and need gloves, the newest editions of the King series will help you out. If you need arm pads, not so much. GLOVES Let’s just get the obvious out of the way: they look cool. However, what I like about that is this time around, every “aesthetic feature” has a protective purpose. They already come broken in.

Meanwhile, Penn State leaves the CAA, Rutgers leaves…

Pollock, Iannucci Return: Casey Powell isn’t back, but the Mammoth have two of their most important scorers back in the lineup after they re-signed both Athan Iannucci and Sean Pollock.

With Buque in the fold, is there a chance Belanger is…
