Minnesota Swarm’s Craig Point

This Week on “Ask The Pro’s” we had a chance to chat with a player whom many feel will be the 2008 NLL Rookie Of The Year; the Swarm’s Craig Point.  The rookie who just turned 22 last month was highly touted coming out of Ontario Junior Lacrosse (winning a Minto Cup) and has stormed into the [...]

AJ Shannon Of The Edmonton Rush

This week on “Ask The Pro’s” we had the chance to speak to AJ Shannon of the Edmonton Rush.  I know you’ve likely read me commenting each week on how so many Pro’s in the NLL are great guys, very professional, etc.  But it is true, and you can throw AJ in that same category.  I’ve [...]

Rochester Looking To Remain Atop The NLL.

Ask any fan around the league who they would most like their team to beat, and I would guess the number one answer would likely be the Rochester Knighthawks. Not only are the K-Hawks the defending Champions, but they are a perrenial powerhouse team, top to bottom.
With all world players like John Grant Jr., Sean Williams, [...]
