The travails of starting a new league have claimed yet another victim–at least for now. The North American Lacrosse League’s Baltimore Bombers have announced that they are shutting down with just two games left in their season. Baltimore posted a message on their Facebook page from owner and Head Coach Hunter Francis, who was clearly disappointed that it didn’t work out in Baltimore but sounded a hopeful note for the future of the league and box lacrosse in the US in general. He said, “Today the future of box lacrosse in the US seems unclear. Yet I remain optimistic the roots we have planted will flourish and in good time we will be crowding into rinks to watch the college stars of yesterday become the undisputed stars of tomorrow.” READ MORE »

The air raid sirens will be calling people out of their homes and into DuBurns Arena in Canton for a North American Lacrosse League tilt with first place on the line this afternoon.

Baltimore (3-2) eked out a 17-16 win when the teams first faced off January 12 in the first game in Bombers franchise history. Boston turned things around in a big way in the rematch, running away with the January 26 game 20-9. This afternoon’s game starts are 3 pm. A couple hours after that, either the Bombers will hold the tie-breaker advantage on head-to-head record and thus first place or Boston will have cemented themselves as the class of the NALL field in 2013.

Snow 3, Lacrosse 0: CLax and NALL games postponed because of storm

The winter storm dumping snow all over the Northeast has caused games in CLax and NALL to be postponed.

Mother Nature is reminding us all who’s in charge.

The Toronto Shooting Star were scheduled to visit the Ohsweken Demons and the Iroquois Ironmen were to be in Brampton to face the Inferno in CLax games tonight. The league’s web site and Facebook page have announced that the games will not be played tonight. The Baltimore Bombers showed they have a sense of humour, announcing via their Facebook page that their game in Rhode Island tomorrow has already been postponed thusly: “Breaking News: Nemo swallows Rhode Island Kingfish.” Neither league has announced dates on which the games will be played.

Last Night: Niagara opens its CLax season with win; Baltimore remains perfect in NALL

It took a few minutes for the Niagara Lock Monsters to get their feet wet. But when they did, they were nearly unstoppable in their first CLax game on Sunday. The Iroquois Ironmen got on the board first, but Ryan Learn scored the next 2 goals for Niagara and the Lock Monsters rolled from there in posting a 22-13 win on Sunday. Learn finished with 4 goals and 2 assists, but it was an 11-point effort from Corey Fowler (4-7) that stole the show from the Ironmen, who had a 7-point game (4-3) from Chris Attwood and a 6-point game (1-5) from Tom Montour.
