Now we’re talking. It’s week three in the NLL, and we’ve got a packed slate to watch. All 14 teams are in action, seven games on the docket this weekend, including a Sunday matinee on the west coast. There are three teams left who have yet to take the floor (Las Vegas, Rochester, and Philadelphia) who are in action this weekend. For the outdoor fans, that means we likely get a look at players like Brennan O’Neill, Blaze Riorden, Jon Donville, reigning NLL MVP Connor Fields. W

PLL players were informed last week of a change to the PLL calendar, sources confirmed to Sticks In Lacrosse. In the upcoming PLL season, the first game of the year is expected to be played on Saturday May 9th. That is a full two weeks prior to Memorial Day Weekend, overlapping with the start of the NCAA tournament. The season will also tack on time at the end, wrapping up in late September.

The key communication and signings, at this point, will be related to the upcoming Championship Series.  The PLL’s signature Sixes event returns to The St. James in northern Virginia this spring. The event spans two weekends, with round robin games being played February 27 to March 1st, and then wr

Warren Hill took that personally In the offseason, the Halifax Thunderbirds were pretty quiet. They added Brendan Bomberry, but otherwise, there weren’t many major changes and the Birds are basically running it back. This was a bit to the chagrin of some NLL pundits and Birds fans, who wondered if a change in goal might be in order. Last year, Hill had the worst GAA of his career excluding his rookie season in a backup or part time role. The same is true for his save percenta

The NLL season opened with a banger of a week one. The crowd in Oshawa sold out the building for their new team, and were treated to an instant classic 8-7 victory over Toronto. Buffalo raised a banner and used a big second half to fight off a frisky young Georgia team. San Diego was fast out of the gate and leaned on Ottawa all night, while Colorado went into Vancouver and spoiled the Warriors home opener.
