Headed into tonight’s game between the Edmonton Rush (15-2) and Vancouver Stealth (4-12) it would appear the Rush could just rest on their way to a first round playoff bye. With the history these two teams have playing each other over the years, and the Rush chasing their first Champions Cup victory, I do not see the Rush lying down. In fact I see the Rush making a strong push…

Friday Night Lights Kicks off an action packed Weekend of College and Pro Action Patriot League Playoffs Army vs. Lehigh I like Lehigh in this matchup between two very well coached teams. Lehigh is balanced on offense and has strong goaltending with junior Matt Poillion. My prediction is Lehigh by three. Loyola vs. Colgate I made the mistake of not picking Loyola in the regular season matchup. I’m not going…

After starting the year at 1-1, Durham dropped six straight games to close out the substandard year. A major factor to…

Towson, Maryland – A rain delay could only hold back the Quakers offense for so long as it unleashed a barrage on the Towson Tigers to give Penn a 15-9 win. Penn is still in contention for the Ivy League Title and they showed that they are playing strong heading into the Ivy League Tournament. Towson would open up the scoring on their first possession of the game. After…
