Having played at varying levels of lax in both the UK and US, the stalling rule is an aspect of the game that should remain as is. However a few comments based on this post so far. For the point of discussion why try to add rules or features to make a game more interesting to spectators? A 1-2 goal ...

Walking the Line - A drill to teach muscle memory ( a vital trait to have with less then .25 secs to react) You find a long straight line (restraining line if possible, though a long hallway works) You straddle the line imagining it is the center of the goal (shading towards your off hand) Get into ...

If it came of condescending then I apologize. It was not meant to be that way, it was more points from the play that I was able to see. To answer your questions - I think you may have understood what I meant by getting the ball out of their stick quickly. On several plays an NCAA player would catch ...

I had the chance to go the game. It was nice to see some of the guys I used to play against, although at times difficult to watch. There are a few points to consider when looking at these results. 1. Something that stood out as I walked into the stadium, the sizes of the 2 benches, Hofstra (and I wo...

2 goals and 10 minutes is no time to consider a change in strategy for either team. That advantage/deficit can disappear in less then 1 minute depending on the face off group (Faceoff win forward to himself - fast break, 1 pass - goal, repeat and your even) Once the clock gets under 4 minutes and yo...

Its a once a year kit (yes I know wouldnt it be great to get all custom gear to use for 1 day) that they use to play in that tournament. It is to honor the former hofstra player Nick Colleluori, and raise awareness for the foundation set up to help with Lymphoma reasearch. http://www.headstrongfound...

Few mentions. Dave Howie dominated at the face off (probably won about 90%) starting numerous fast breaks.


Did Hampstead have a full team, from memory Hampstead has 3 very good players at the X.

Re:

What would teams think if that was put in place, if a team does not turn up or reschedule the game they have a point deducted not just getting 0 points. They need to have a point deducted not just not get any so if a team doesn't play 1 game instead of getting 17 points they get 16 because the game...

I thought I heard a rumor where teams would loose points for a no show. Am I making that up. What would teams think if that was put in place, if a team does not turn up or reschedule the game they have a point deducted not just getting 0 points. While I can see there may be situations that require e...

Fall ball is very rarely covered on TV, there may be some highlights offered on local channels, but I have yet to see full coverage.

Getting onto a team as a goalie is often the hardest thing to do, because there is only 1 on the field at any time. To get a scholarship as a goalie you have to have played for a top high school program, played on your states travel team (empire state, bay state etc.), earned All American awards, as...

Moff - no tape, but the 'cuse goalies have been known to wear american football leg gear, either just the upper part or the full pant, because you can add in padding with out any restriction of movement.

To be honest if you look at the list of nations that would represent, they all have established league set ups, where as in Ireland it is 2 teams that play each other a total of 3 times then combine to play any touring teams.

There are a lot of non conventional parts of his game that most players could not get away with. For example when you watch him shoot on the run, his arms don't extend very far from his body, now this works for him because hes the size of most rugby players but for the average lax player it would no...
