Oshawa is the NLL's hottest new market, a bad start can bury you, and it's Colorado's title to lose. Week 1 NLL Overreactions.
It’s Colorado’s title to lose Vancouver was the talk of the offseason. Big free agent signings, a full year of Christian Del Bianco ahead, bright young stars returning all over the floor. The Warriors were a trendy pick to make their way all the way to the NLL final this year. Colorado, on the other hand, was tough to get a read on. Connor Kelly and Zed Williams were traded away, as was Connor Robinson. Kelly and Robinson were 60 point players, Zed almost surely would have be

Opening night in Oshawa, a banner raising in Buffalo, and more NLL action. It's the NLL Weekend Primer for week one.
Opening weekend in the NLL has arrived. Training camp is wrapped, rosters are (for the most part) set, and it’s time to start playing for real. Opening weekend in every sport is a joy. Everyone has the same record, everyone is alive for the title, everyone has a reason to believe this is the year. There are just four games on the schedule this weekend, but those games include an NLL debut of a top overall pick, a banner raising night, and plenty more. All game lines are court

The men's college lacrosse players you should buy a ticket to see
It’s easy to just watch the same teams every week. It’s especially true in college lacrosse. Just watch the ACC, the Big Ten, the Ivy, maybe spice it up with a Patriot League game in there. But for a lot of fans, the viewing experience is either watch their favorite team, the game between the two top ranked teams if it’s different, and that’s it. Let’s broaden our horizons together! Every team in DI men’s lacrosse has noteworthy talent. They all have players worthy of fan att

2026 Premier Lacrosse League Draft Big Board
ball is in full swing. With scrimmage reports dropping after every weekend, teams are starting to take shape, develop their identity, and lay the foundation for their season. Teams have to work in grad transfers and young players, returners may be adjusting to expanded roles, there’s a balance of “this doesn’t mean anything” and “it’s actually really important that we learn a lot right now” to fall ball. For me, it’s a signal that it’s time to start thinking about the next PL

Ranking the Top Five PLL Players Under 25
It's now the lacrosse dead zone: the PLL playoffs (and the following New York Atlas celebration) concluded over a month ago, college lacrosse’s only news comes in the form of fall ball highlight packages and scheduling announcements, and the NLL's countdown until training camp. However, lax chatter lives on with offseason player and team breakdowns. The PLL just produced a 25-year-old MVP in Atlas attackman Connor Shellenberger, so why not detail a list of potential next-up p

PLL Fan's Guide to picking an NLL Team, 2025-26 edition
The indoor season is nearly here. While a contentious negotiation for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement looked like it might result in some cancelled games, reports now indicate that camp will be underway in November and the season is expected to start on time. I still consider myself a newbie to the indoor game. I have progressively watched more and more over the last few years, and I’ve grown to really enjoy box lacrosse. Last season I ramped it up and made a trip to B
