We have been to nationals 3 times and didn't make the trip this year. I am desperately trying to find out how Saskatchewan did in their games on the "B" side of the draw and this information seems to be missing. Can you please update for those of us in Saskatchewan!

You might be interested in visiting JustLacrosse.com, which focuses on the central New York lacrosse scene, from Rochester to Utica, and Carthage ;-) to Binghamton. I know many of us from this area really enjoyed attending the World Games in London last year (well, except for the outcome), and I know many teams from your area come to Ithaca for the Turkeyshoot every year. Wishing you continued success! Dennis Hi Gary and Bernice,

I couldn't agree more about your points with the 5 on 5. I think the game today really gets its excitement (which also means fan base, popularity, and ultimately $$$), from the O/D style. I think the style of today's game is what is going to make it survive and prosper. It is somewhat interesting that the transition players lately in games I've seen have almost thrown a wrench into the O/D style; by running the floor on a possession change the Merrills and Steenhuis' are creating odd man situations that have not been there in the past. Teams are going to have to adapt to that, and that is where I posted a week or so ago wondering if we starting to revert back to the old style game... I am going to continue to ask the question in the interviews as it is interesting to hear (so far anyway), the numbers of people involved that prefer the old style, but understand what needs to be done to help the game thrive. Welcome to the site..... Hi Doug,

I think the style of today’s game is what is going to make it survive and prosper. It is somewhat interesting that the transition players lately in games I’ve seen have almost thrown a wrench into the O/D style; by running the floor on a possession change the Merrills and Steenhuis’ are creating odd man situations that have not been there in the past.

This is an excellent site that really fills an information niche. Nya:wen for your efforts! Could you also add High School Boys Lacrosse & High School Girls Lacosse sections too please? There is very little reporting going on for some excellent springtime lax in our high schools where field lacrosse seems to be growing at a quick pace. Many kids get their first exposure to lacrosse in high school and love the sport from the get-go. If you have the section I can report on what I hear from the varsity fields as I coach in a local high school. I can also get others to post scores and links. If you can do this, that would be cool. Thanks! Hey Gary and Bernice!
