What’s better than watching the top seeded team get upset? Or seeing a powerhouse ultimately come crashing down in the finals? Below are my personal predictions as to who has shots at seeing postseason action this season in Baltimore. I’m not saying all these teams, or any of these teams, will make it. I’m not saying others won’t. But based on underdog criteria I will outline below, these schools have…
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte Hounds today announced a trade that will send faceoff specialist Geoff Snider to the Denver Outlaws in exchange for veteran midfielder Terry Kimener and a 2016 fifth-round Supplemental Draft pick. “I absolutely love Geoff Snider,” said Hounds VP & GM Wade Leaphart. “He’s a great teammate, a true warrior, and a fun guy. I’m certainly not looking forward to playing against him. Unfortunately, travel is…
Fryer, Miller & Rose Will Battle For Time In The Cage Toronto, ON – With Toronto Rock training camp just a couple of days away, it’s time to focus on the last line of defence and examining the three-way dance that is the competition for playing time guarding the Rock goal this season. All three candidates come with varying levels of experience on their resume and are all at various…
Mitch Dumont is one of the more unheralded defensive players in all of the Ontario Sr. B loop. He’s a player that does everything well; he doesn’t stand out but he’s effective, and for a defensive player that’s a good thing. Dumont was as surprised as anyone to hear the Knighthawks where interested in offering him a contract. He said, “It’s exciting. It’s something that you’re not expecting to happen….
Captain Will Miss Entire 2015 Season Toronto, ON – Toronto Rock captain Colin Doyle underwent successful shoulder surgery to repair his torn rotator cuff last Thursday in Georgetown, Ontario. The 17-year NLL veteran will miss the 2015 season while he recovers from the injury. “The surgery went really well,” remarked Doyle about the procedure that was performed by team doctor Dr. Vikram Venkateswaran. “There was more work than anticipated, but…
With the news that Greg Danseglio will at least miss the Spring 2015 season with the Cavaliers, there is a relatively young corp of players that will need to be the next men up for Virginia. Danseglio was an important piece for the Wahoos and his presence will be missed. Virginia statistically needed a lot of work after being eliminated in the first round of the NCAA Tournament by Johns…
It’s that time of year again when the NLL is getting ready for training camp and the preseason. This year the Colorado Mammoth have already made some bold key moves. Of course we know that John Grant Jr. will be back for another year; and the Mammoth just announced that they have signed Drew Westervelt, Sean Pollock, Jamie Shewchuk, D.J. Lubs, Bob Snider and Colton Porter to one-year agreements. The…
The Maryland Terrapins have just concluded their fall practice season and have now learned that they will be without their only returning starter at attack indefinitely. The press release came out this week and its impact will likely leave Maryland scrambling for an impact player at attack who can stretch the defense. Matt Rambo started all 17 games as a freshman, finishing as the team’s second leading scorer. As the…
This was my (Ian Neadle) first time seeing MCLA lacrosse in person. I always considered a downgrade from the NCAA level. I was wrong. The players are smaller and the intensity is lower. However, the referees are not qualified (in my opinion) to call a game with higher intensity such as NCAA (some officials were quite terrible). The heart and will are there, and the players make the most of…
This is the time of year when there is a lull in the professional lacrosse world. The MLL has wrapped up and the NLL preseason hasn’t officially started. Right about now is typically when the LXM Pro Tour has started up in the past to bring high level lacrosse to non-traditional areas around the country. We reached out to Adrenaline, who is the force behind LXM to see what their…
