Ottawa is doing things slightly differently this year Even back to the Riptide days, this Black Bears team had a pretty standard MO from year to year. Jeff Teat produces like one of the best players in the world, and then they miss the playoffs. In fact, this franchise has yet to make the playoffs. Last year they got close, and were in the mix for a playoff spot in the final week of the regular season. In 2026, Jeff Teat is once again playing like one of the best players in t

Dickson is in his 15th NLL season and, barring a two year stint in San Diego, every year of that career before this year was spent in Calgary. He was drafted by

Welcome to what is, and this is a technical term, the thick of it. We’re into week seven of the NLL season, identities are being formed, the goals appear to be flowing once more, and with every game we get closer to learning who the contenders and pretenders are. The slate this week is packed, and includes the first double dip of the season as there are eight games on the schedule. Here’s the rundown: FRIDAY Who: Halifax Thunderbirds (2-2) vs Ottawa Black Bears (3-2) Where: C

Goals are back Goals scored in the NLL: Week 6 - 123 (24.6 per game) Week 5 - 110 (22 per game) Week 4 - 70 (17.5 per game) Week 3 - 132 (18.8 per game) Week 2 - 42 (21 per game) Week 1 - 87 (21.7 per game) We had quite the dip there!

Two games in Week Six broke the 30 goal barrier, including Ottawa/Oshawa which oddsmakers picked to be the lowest sc
