We are seven days removd from the draft and the New England Black Wolves made a huge splash by trading Jordan Hall back to the Knighthawks to get back into the first round as well as trading their captain Brodie Merrill to Toronto as they started to build their draft picks. But 10 days prior to the draft the Black Wolves traded (T) Kyle Belton to Vancouver Stealth for (F)…
August 9th I had the privilege of speaking with former Philadelphia Wing and recently relocated New England Black Wolves Kevin Crowley following his Major Lacrosse League game in which his Bayhawks defeated the Charlotte Hounds in the season finale. We discussed his trade from Florida to Chesapeake at the trade deadline, along with his Team Canada win in the FIL World Lacrosse Championships. And finally we talked about the relocation…
With the draft only a week away the new Connecticut team is trying to find its identity. Not only by a name, or if they will be called New England or Connecticut, but by players and what style they will have. Just under 3 weeks ago they traded one of the best to ever play the game in Brodie Merrill. This was obviously done to get some draft picks back…
The Rochester Rattlers had one of the most impressive seasons this year, especially when you think that they went 6-8 during their 2013 campaign. The Rattlers were able to garner the top seed in the MLL playoffs, with a record of 10-4. During the last draft the Rattlers were able to draft Jordan Wolf, Miles and Ty Thompson, and Mark Cockerton. Now Ty Thompson only played in one game and…
With the 2014 seson in the books, and the Denver Outlaws capturing their first title, talk has started to surface about a team returning to Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Barrage played at Villanova Stadium from 2004-2006. In 2007 the Barrage played at the United Sports Training Center in Downingown, PA before becoming a travel team for the 2008 season, which was their last. Prior to moving to Philadelphia they were known…

History could be made tonight. A win by the Rattlers will give the City of Rochester the title of Lacrosse City of Champions. It would be the first time that both the Indoor (NLL) and Outdoor (MLL) Champion come from the same city. On May 31st the Knighthawks made NLL history by three-peating as champions, the first time in the leagues 28 year existence. Tonight the top two teams will…
The Minnesota Swarm now have a small goalie situation because the team trade Tyler Carlson, who was more or less the default starting goalie for the last two seasons, for Brodie MacDonald now formerly of the Edmonton Rush. This creates a bit of a dilemma for the coaches. Macdonald has shown in a few games to have the goods to produce as a number one in the NLL, but it…
This past weekend we had two fantastic playoff games, just a shame we have to have a loser in each. In the first game, the Rochester Rattlers used a six-goal run to come away with a 15-11 victory over the Ohio Machine. Notice to all MLL, Ohio is for real!! The second game had the Denver Outlaws win in the final 15 seconds by a score of 14-13 with the…
The Rochester Rattlers may have started out slow, but stellar goaltending by John Galloway kept the game close in the first quarter and enabled the Rattlers to start their comeback as they came away with a 15-11 victory over the Ohio Machine. The Rattlers will face the Denver Outlaws who defeated the Lizards 14-13. Faceoff is scheduled for 7 pm (ET) next Saturday in Atlanta, GA. Head coach Tim Soudan…
