It was just one day before his season started that he signed his contract, hopping a flight to Florida to face the Toronto Rock. Everybody all together now: typical. What better target for the draconian justice of NLL goons and jeers from salty Canadian fans? READ MORE »
Coming into this season, Dan Dawson had already established himself as one of the NLL’s most dominant forwards. At 6-5, 225 pounds, Dawson’s size and athletic ability create a difficult draw for any defender. Last year was his fourth straight 80-plus point season, and he finished the season leading Portland to the Champion’s Cup final with 31 points in three playoff games. READ MORE »
Pat Campbell’s story is pretty amazing. The Roughnecks goalie missed half the 2007 season after dealing with a mystery illness. Now he’s leading the NLL’s top-ranked squad into the playoffs, which start the first weekend of May.
NLLInsider.com contributor Ty Pilson originally wrote this story for the April issue of Inside Lacrosse Magazine. It’s appearing here updated to include his season stats.

Veltman, who should get heavy consideration for rookie of the week honours this week by the NLL, tells IL’s Jon Brand who’s been stringing his stick lately, what uncle Jim and bro Peter mean to him, why he loves Vancouver, and finally, he still actually admits liking the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Buffalo Bandits enter 2009 slightly healthier than last winter, but likely just as hungry as Darris Kilgour amps up his crew for what should be another strong run at the Champion’s Cup.
Although the loss of Brett Bucktooth and likely Pat McCready for the season will hurt, the team finally gets Sean Greenhalgh in the lineup after missing him for all of 2008 with a blown knee, and should also benefit immensely from Dispersal Draft pick-ups Cody Jacobs and Tom Montour.
