As the Clax Season begins here are the top 5 players to watch out for that could win league MVP. Scotty Komer: Komer was the Barrie Blizzards first choice in the Clax expansion draft and with that comes high expectations. Komer though can live up to the hype as he posted the best saves percentage in Clax in 2012 posting a save percentage of .797 while on the league’s worst team. Expect Komer to keep…

What is the Future of Big East Lacrosse?
There have been questions concerning this conference. Lacrosse has been out shadowed by basketball. Basketball has been this conference’s “bread and butter.” Lacrosse has been a new sport in recent years for these schools. I believe if all of these schools agree on a solution, lacrosse would grow into a sport that many would like. As the sky changes, so does the decisions that these schools will make. Since the departure of Rutgers,…
2013 CLax Players to Watch
This year in Clax there are many players who will look to make a name for themselves but here are my top 5 players to watch as the 2013 season approaches. 5. Steve Fryer: Fryer was the Inferno’s top choice in the NLL supplemental draft and will have a lot of pressure on him this season. This past summer he was stellar with the Langley Thunder and helped them to advance to the Mann Cup….
NLL Season Preview: Washington Stealth
The Washington Stealth were the only team to not make the National Lacrosse League playoffs in 2012. In 2013, their roster has only slight modifications, but they are hoping to get back to the team that brought them to two straight championship games. The most noticeable move of the off season is the departure of Jeff Zywicki who has been a prolific playmaker for Washington. However, last season he missed a lot…
Wings Release Crotty, Activate Hall
On Friday December 21st the Philadelphia Wings activated Jordan Hall from the IR to the 23 man active roster. With that move the Wings released forward Ned Crotty. Is this a true move? Or was it just so Hall can get some game action to see how the knee is doing after knee surgery that had him miss the last half of the 2012 season? In my opinion I think it…
