So you think you had a good weekend? The boys of Six Nations may beg to differ.

Last Thursday, the Chiefs walked into their arena with a 1-7 record in the Major Series Lacrosse standings. And by the time they were done playing lacrosse for the week ending on Sunday night, they’d reeled off three victories to move into a three-way tie for second place with 8 points (4 wins, 7 losses.) But that’s not the end of the good news. Over the weekend, the Chiefs announced they’d signed Sid Smith, perhaps the premier defender in lacrosse today who is fresh off of winning an NCAA championship with the Syracuse Orange. “Our players have more commitment towards practices and games now,” the Chiefs’ Craig Point told the Brantford Expositor after Sunday’s 17-11 win over Barrie. “We’re making ourselves more available and it’s helping out.”

On Thursday, Six Nations topped Barrie 11-7 and followed that on Saturday with a very impressive 10-7 win on the road against first-place Brampton before Sunday’s win. Not to be outdone, the St. Regis Indians had an impressive weekend as well, notching wins over Barrie and Brooklin to gain 4 points and move into a first-place tie with Brampton with 14 points each. That means we’ve got ourselves a juicy matchup for Saturday night, when Six Nations plays at St. Regis.
