April 7th, 2009 by Steve Kojima
Who is this year’s National Lacrosse League (NLL) Rookie of the Year (ROY)?! That’s going to be a difficult question for General Managers to answer and it could be determined by the outcome of this weekend’s games. READ MORE »
National Lacrosse League (NLL) Rookie Report: Starting Goaltenders
April 7th, 2009 by Steve Kojima
We noted early in this National Lacrosse League (NLL) season to keep an eye out for six of this year’s young goaltenders. All of those keepers have seen action in 2009, with San Jose’s Tyler Richards potentially earning a starting position and Portland’s two young goaltenders being forced into starts. READ MORE »

March 31st, 2009 by Steve Kojima
The rookie rankings are pretty solid as we enter the back stretch — with Duch, Veltman, Peyser and Buchanan leading the hunt for Rookie of the Year (ROY) hardware. A new rookie goaltender cracks this week’s Top 10, however. After the jump, also hear from the coaches of San Jose and Boston on this year’s top two ROY candidates. READ MORE »

With Boston, New York and Philadelphia enjoying bye weeks over the weekend, there wasn’t too much movement in the Rookie Rankings. Five of this week’s Top 10 rookies actually come from those three aforementioned teams.
Strong candidates for Week 12 ‘NLL Rookie of the Week’ include rookie scoring leader Rhys Duch and Paul Rabil of San Jose. Minnesota’s Kevin Buchanan, who’s garnered a lot of ink lately, was relatively quiet over the weekend. READ MORE »
National Lacrosse League (NLL) Rookie Rankings: Week 10
March 17th, 2009 by Steve Kojima
The National Lacrosse League (NLL) Rookie Rankings this week features a new player in the top spot, and the ‘08 Major League Lacrosse (MLL) playoff MVP anchoring the 10 spot.
The race for NLL Rookie of the Year (ROY) is definitely still up for the grabs, despite Daryl Veltman’s early season production. Can Rhys Duch, who’s on pace to have a record breaking year, grab the hardware even if San Jose misses the playoffs? The Stealth are currently two games behind Minnesota for fourth place in the Western Division where another contender for ROY has emerged in the Swarm’s Kevin Buchanan. He’s scored 18 points in Minny’s last three games, all wins. READ MORE »

March 10th, 2009 by Steve Kojima
While I blogged to have leading Rookie of the Year candidates Daryl Veltman and Rhys Duch added to the 2009 All-Star Game (ASG), another rookie did get the invite. New York Titans’ Stephen Peyser went as an injury replacement for his brother and teammate Greg Peyser (or Philly’s Geoff Snider depending on how you look at it) and showed well for this year’s rookie class, winning the ‘Fastest Shot’ competition and a dominant 28 of 39 face-offs in the ASG.

Even The Canadian Press headlined the National Lacrosse League (NLL) Rookie of the Year Race last week between Boston’s Daryl Veltman and San Jose’s Rhys Duch. The two first year stars have enjoyed great starts to the season, and as I blogged last Tuesday, should still be considered for the up-coming All-Star Weekend in Denver. READ MORE »
