“I will try to help on the floor as much as possible, whether it’s offensively, defensive or the powerplay,” Toth told The Sun. “I will do whatever my body allows me to. I don’t know how much difference one player can make. I’m hoping it can be a lot.”

The problem was not related to Livestream or the league’s equipment.” READ MORE »

UncategorizedOne of the season’s early feel good stories has definitely been the play of Colorado Mammoth forward Jamie Shewchuk, who currently sits third in National Lacrosse League scoring, and has been a big impact player for Colorado, win or lose, so far this winter.

Colorado hosts the Washington Stealth at the Pepsi Center tomorrow night.
The 4-0 Washington Stealth will be without two-way player Paul Rabil and defender Eric Martin when they look to stretch their undefeated streak to start the 2010 National Lacrosse League season in Denver tomorrow night.
