Earlier today, I was looking at NLL draft classes for a post coming later this week (self promotion!) and was talking with a few other lacrosse people about it (shoutouts to Graeme Perrow, Rocco Granato, Chad Faifoull and Marty O’Neill). Rocco, who writes for this site, sent me the 2005 first round of the NLL draft, and after looking at it, I decided to take a look at some draft…
Machine’s Gadgets For 2013
2012 wasn’t what Coach Garber and the Ohio Machine were looking for. However, it was looked over since the team is in their first year and players are just learning how to play with each other. Going 2-12 will make anyone agitated, but for the Machine fans, they stuck through the highs and the lows and showed their support. Not many fans would do that. Luckily for the Ohio fans,…
Wolfpack Move to Newmarket
According to reports, the Junior C Ontario team Innisfil Wolfpack will be moving to Newmarket and be changing their name to the Newmarket Saints. The Wolfpack have had a horrid go of it in their five years in Innisfil, going 13-71, and the best record they ever had was still just 5-11. The new Saints will move from the central division to the western division with the move to a…
Kingfish Try to Win on Local Talent
The Rhode Island Kingfish are at a disadvantage somewhat with bringing in local talent. Players from the New England area would likely prefer to stay closer to Boston. No problem for Rhode Island, except they have the Boston Rockhoppers to compete with. No matter, the Kingfish still brought in local talent, and their roster is mostly built off of that. While teams like Baltimore and Kentucky are getting the fanfare, Rhode…
Miller Rusbridge Looks to Bring Impact to Knighthawks
The Rochester Knighthawks have signed defenseman Miller Rusbridge to a one year deal this week. Rusbridge will be joining the Knighthawks training camp later this month. Knighthawks coach Mike Hasen likes what he sees in Rusbridge. Hasen has coached him with MSL’s Brampton Excelsiors the past two seasons, and they won the Mann Cup in one of those years. The 24 year old defenseman has played with some Knighthawks players…

Michigan’s Schedule for 2013 Only Gets Harder
No one exactly expected the Michigan Wolverines to dominate division one in their first season, but boy did they struggle. Now going into 2013, the schedule does not look any easier. They will have to face teams like Penn State, Loyola, Denver, Johns Hopkins, Army, Fairfield and Ohio State, all very tough teams. They also need to face rival Detroit and schools like Air Force, Bellarmine, Colgate, Marquette, Delaware and…
Swarm Sign Jackson, Matisz, Crepinsek
The Minnesota Swarm today announced that the team has signed 2012 first-round draft picks F Kiel Matisz (No. 3 overall), F Shayne Jackson (No. 4 overall) and D Alex Crepinsek (No. 10 overall) to one-year deals. Matisz, 23, was a two-time captain at Robert Morris University and never missed a game during his four-year career from 2009-12. As a senior this past spring, the 6-foot-5, 215-pound forward notched a team-high 40 goals and helped lead the…
Lizards Attacking 2013
Going into 2012, Long Island experienced a lot of turbulence. Their previous owner, Scott Rosenzweig had passed away, Max Quinzani decided not to participate in the MLL and their number one draft pick, Rob Pannell, requested and was granted a fifth year at Cornell after injuring his foot at the start of the NCAA season. There were also trades that threw their fan base off. It’s safe to say, the…
Air Force on the Attack
Impressive is not good enough for this team. With a record of 5-7 looks to make a strive for better. They will have the same players that have matured and will look forward to attacking opponents. Senior captains Dayton Gilbreath and Adam Paranka look forward to winning a championship this season. With Galibreath and Paranka the offense and defense should be clicking together. The sophomore class, who has different prospects, showed us last season thatthey were the real…
