NCAA Lacrosse

The NCAA has some of the most strict rules and regulations out of any sports program in the country.  They monitor everything that college athletes do and say in every sport and are particularly strict when it comes to lacrosse players because of the reputation that lacrosse has for doing what we want and not minding what people say and just doing our own thing.

Duke Lacrosse

Another top national lacrosse team that has had several problems with their program but remains a top lacrosse program in the country.  They are routinely in the national championship and I actually saw them play at Gillette Stadium in 2009.

Syracuse Lacrosse

Syracuse University has a history of being one of the best lacrosse programs in the entire nation every year.  They have won multiple lacrosse championships and have also graduated some of the best players in the world.  They are a top of the line D1 program and are always the best and a great team to watch.

MLL All-Star Weekend

The MLL All-Star Game is a much anticipated game where everything they do is for several different causes as well as giving money to support the troops.  They usually let two different sponsors name each team and supply the jerseys which are auctioned off online after the game to raise money for causes.  It is a great event with a skills competition at half-time. 

MLL Championship

The MLL Championship is one weekend long party that travels city to city each year and this year just happened to be in Annapolis, Maryland.  They do a lot of auctions for charity and have several give-aways.  It is an overall great time for everybody, including the Boston Cannons who won this past year.http://www.majorleaguelacrosse.com/championship-weekend/

Boston Blazers

The brother lacrosse team to the Boston Cannons the Boston Blazers play indoor lacrosse at TD Bank.  Indoor lacrosse is very different from outdoor because it is played on a hockey rink covered in turf with boards and benches and penalty boxes.  It is a very violent game and there is a large number of fights.  http://www.blazerslacrosse.com/

Boston Cannons

The Boston Cannons are a member of the Major League Lacrosse (MLL).  They are usually in playoff contestion and have won several championships.  They play at Harvards stadium and do not usually have a sell-out crowd but the later in the season the more fans they get.
