Teams Are Starting To Take Shape

TORONTO. - As training camps are coming to an end, and the pre-season has but one week left in it, teams are looking more and more ready for the new NLL season. As witnessed this past weekend in a couple of games I was able to attend, the passing was much crisper, the defenses a little stingier, and the offenses much more creative with their plays, scoring with precision.

The Making of the Wooden Lacrosse Stick

TORONTO. - Looking at the history and tradition of the game, I thought this week we would look at the process of making the wooden lacrosse stick. All the love, effort, and craftsmanship that makes a quality stick. In the modern game, we have gotten used to everyone using plastic sticks, manufactured by machine, but still strung by hand, but that wasn't the lineage that the game came from. From the beginning of the Creator's game, it was always wooden sticks used, created by talented men such as Alfie Jacques.

Women and Lacrosse

TORONTO. - I have talked extensively over the last number of weeks about men's lacrosse. Discussing everything from Junior to Senior, Amateur to Professional. A topic I haven't spent time on is the women's game, and while the object is the same, the game itself is quite different.
