The Long Island Lizards are currently on a five game win streak and sitting in second place in the league and they’d like to keep it that way. A loss by the Lizards (5-2) and a win by the Boston Cannons (5-3) would send the Lizards down to third place and possibly into fourth. A win against the Lizards would really help the Rochester Rattler’s playoff hopes. They are currently…
Charlotte Hounds Open Second Half Against Chesapeake
July 5, 2012— Although they were attempting (and somewhat expected) to resemble the old Toronto Nationals team that won an MLL title their first year in the league, the Hounds are still getting started.

The Boston Cannons will begin their second half this Saturday, and they hope to start it better than their first half ended, losing three of their last four games.

If they can get their…

Making Sense of the Roughnecks Not Retaining Dave Pym
In one of the most shocking moves possible this 2012 National Lacrosse League off seasons, the Calgary Roughnecks let their head coach Dave Pym go, releasing him from his duties as the team’s head coach. Pym let the Roughnecks to a league best 12-4 in 2012, but fell in the playoffs to the Edmonton Rush, the last qualifying playoff team. He went 33-15 overall in his tenure with Calgary, winning…
