A big thank you to Brian Drew, who passed on a few photos of the 1964 Oshawa Green Gaels for our memory lane section of the site. In this first picture, the legendary Johnny Davis is driving to the net against a defender. I am guessing but in the background on the Gaels bench appears [...]

Unfortunately, I never got to see him play, but many that did consider him to be one of the best ever…..

John Grant Sr. with his incredible reach tries to swat the stick of Brooklin’ # 14.  I’m guessing, but I think that was Emil Labaj.  Correct me if I’m wrong.

In this photo Brooklin’s #44, Derek Keenan looks to have just shot on goalie Shawn Quinlan while #17 for Peterborough Tim Hargraves looks on. There seems to be some debate as to who # 17 is, so I’ve gone with what the majority says (only because I do not know myself).

Wow, there’s nothing like some vintage 80′s pictures to make one feel young again. In this classic shot at Brooklin (Luther Vipond) Arena, there are a few stars in the old Peterborough – Brooklin match. Peterborough’s JJ Johnston (#6) is shooting on Brooklin’s Paul Boland. The checker (#7) is Steve Kashul, while looking on are (#39) Tom [...]

For those that read my interview with Derek Keenan you may remember he spoke of Kaleb Toth’s winning goal with 1 second left to win the 2000 NLL Championship for the Toronto Rock. Well, as luck would have it I was able to find the final 10 seconds of video (a little blurred) and here [...]

I was just sort of trolling around on Youtube and found this gem of a video. If I’m not mistaken this video is from the 70′s, the old Philadelphia Wings. Notice the shorts (ouch), the high knee socks, but most importantly, the old wooden sticks. Old time lacrosse, you just gotta love it!
