As a hockey player, I love the cold weather. Whenever the twenty degree weather and snow hit the homeland, my fellow Long Islanders look at me with the evil eye. To be fair, I agree, there is not much that can be done during this weather. Other than hitting the outdoor ice, building snow forts and shoveling, it is probably not wise to do anything when you are exposed to…
In the last two seasons the Rochester Knighthawks have won the Champion’s Cup while playing excellent defense and managing to score just enough to get past their opponents. They have, in fact, scored just 20 goals between the last two Champion’s Cup games combined, against just 16 goals surrendered. This past weekend’s Super Bowl seemed to indicate that defense is more important than offense, but that doesn’t necessarily translate from…
The Miami Hurricanes will be hosting Florida International on Friday, February 7. The Hurricanes lost all 10 games they played last year and ended up at the bottom of the SELC Southeast. At 0-10 last season the Hurricanes fell short of fellow Florida teams that sky rocketed in the MCLA. The Hurricanes are looking to compete with those teams (Central Florida, Florida, and Florida Gulf Coast). Game time is scheduled…

Loyola @ Virginia Game Time: 7:00 pm Date: February 6, 2014 Location: Charlottesville, Va 2013 Teams change and great players graduate, leaving behind an empty spot for someone to fill. Loyola and Virginia both have shoes to fill. Virginia is coming off one of their more disappointing seasons after a long run as one of the top teams in NCAA men’s lacrosse. They started off strong going 5-1 in the…

Elon and Duke Women’s lacrosse are both practicing hard for this Friday’s match at Elon. The tension between the two in-state rivals is high; especially considering Duke’s former associate head coach, Josh Hexter, left the team for a head coaching position at Elon in 2012. This will be one of the first games that both teams play this season, and they are both ready to put up a fight. The…
On June 27, 2013 the Stealth organization once again shocked fans with the announcement that they would be moving the franchise from Everett, WA to Langley B.C. There were rumors and speculation leading up to the move, that the team was on borrowed time. With a sweet deal in place that their current home Comcast Arena could not match, it was a no brainer for the organization. With the move…
The most anticipated game in the National Lacrosse League was exactly as advertised as the two-time defending champion Rochester Knighthawks entered the home turf of the undefeated Edmonton Rush. Aaron Bold and Matt Vinc supplied outstanding goaltending, both defences smothered and made life very uncomfortable for the offences, the intensity and nastiness was at a perfect level and when the guys on offence were able to get the ball by…
