Like just about every lacrosse player we write about here, Adam Jones is rarely bored in the summer. In 2008 and 2009, he was busy helping the Orangeville Northmen win back-to-back Minto Cups. Last season, he led the team to the finals. Before this past NCAA lacrosse season, Jones was named the pre-season MAAC Player of the Year at Canisius College, a team coached by former NLL baller Randy Mearns. It was all looking good, rolling along toward what would be his first MSL season with the Brooklin Redmen and, perhaps, the No. 1 overall draft pick of the National Lacrosse League this fall. But a torn ACL took care of that during a Canisius practice and now, Jones is faced with something unfamiliar: A summer off. “I don’t think I’ve had a summer off since I was six or seven,” Jones told the Owen Sound Sun-Times. “It’s going to be weird.” READ MORE »
With all eyes on the Virginia Cavaliers and Maryland Terps during yesterday’s NCAA DI National Championship, the Cavs and their Canadian born players Mark Cockerton, Matt Cockerton and Garrett Ince taking the title 9-7, it was a pretty quiet night across the board in Senior and Junior ‘A’ lacorsse on the other side of the boarder. The St. Catharines Athletics, Burlington Chiefs and Peterborough Lakers all moved their W column up to 5 after wins over the Toronto Beaches, K-W Braves and Barrie Lakeshore respectively. The Chiefs got goals from 11 different scorers as the crippled the Braves 19-4, Danny Lomas and Tyler Albrecht both netting hat-tricks. After the jump check out last night’s finals complete with some box score linkage. READ MORE »
While no one connected to either organization was able to officially confirm, sources close to both the Iroquois Nationals and Team USA have indicated to IL Indoor that the two groups are in the process of putting together a joint bid for the 2015 World Indoor Lacrosse Championships, 2011’s edition of course won by Canada in Prague, Czech Republic this past Saturday. The 2015 games would mark the fourth edition of the international box lacrosse tournament, the first two hosted in Canada (Southern Ontario – 2003 and Halifax – 2007) and then Prague hosting a successful tourney over the past week.

The shift in the OLA Junior ‘A’ loop continues, the Six Nations Arrows dumping the three-time defending provincial champion (and recent back-to-back Minto Cup winners) Orangeville Northmen 11-7 last night, thanks in large part to a clutch third period that saw the now 6-0 Arrows outscore the Horn Heads 5-2. The Northmen, who are still not at full strength with a few high profile names still at school in the US, are just 2-3 coming out of the gates in 2011. The last time Orangeville lost 3 times in the regular season? They just barely had 3 in 2008 when they went 19-3 during the entire regular season, easily finishing first and later winning the Minto too. The Northmen weren’t the only recent provincial leaders to lose lat night either, the reigning three-time WLA champion New Westminster Salmonbellies losing to the Maple Ridge Burrards 9-7, and last year’s Mann Cup winning Peterborough Lakers beat by the Brooklin Redmen 12-8. The rest of last night’s results after the jump. READ MORE »

The host Czech Republic finished fourth in the world indoor lacrosse tournament and its Canadian goalie, Kurtis Wagar of Whitby, Ont., loved every minute of it.
“It was probably the best experience of my life,’’ said Wagar.
The Czech team fell 16-7 to the United States in the game for bronze Saturday and local fans wouldn’t stop with the chants and cheers for the players when it ended.
“It’s a lot different than back home but the passion and the intensity is the same,’’ said Wagar. “I can hardly understand what some of the guys on the team are saying but I loved it. This is the best they’ve ever done and hopefully four years from now we can do even better.’’ READ MORE »
