The previous two seasons, Cristian Del Bianco & Nick Rose owned virtually all stopper stats and had MVP-worthy runs, making them Goalie of the Year locks. Things were much different this year. Why CDB is MIA, Top 5 tendies of 2025 + our pick for GOTY: thelaxmag.com/2025-nll-playe…

The 2025 NLL Cup Finals start tonight at the KeyBank Center when Buffalo hosts Game 1 of the best-of-three series against Saskatchewan. In The Lax Mag's NLL Cup Preview, we'll outline why the Bandits and Rush look likely to win, but also why they won't: thelaxmag.com/2025-nll-cup-p…

Although last year's Minto Cup champions saw several stars graduate, the Coquitlam Adanacs bring back a number of notable names this summer and have jumped out to a strong start in the BCJALL. They open at #1 in The Lax Mag's first edition of the 2025 National Junior A Rankings.

Three of Canada's Senior A sides remain undefeated (Peterborough 5-0, Victoria 4-0, New Westminster 3-0), the defending Mann Cup champs look like an NLL all-star squad (Six Nations), and one western team is already forfeiting games as a result of an ineligible player (Burnaby).

The Adanacs, Raiders, Arrows and Warriors all had a perfect past week, so our Top 4 remains the same, but there's been a lot of movement in the rest of this week's National Junior A Rankings as potential Minto Cup contenders continue to see top talent returning from their NCAA

With Coquitlam dropping a decision to Delta last night and Orangeville owning an eight-game win streak, the Northmen jump the Adanacs (and others) to take over the top spot in this week's updated National Rankings. The 6-0 Raiders are the only undefeated Junior A club left in

The Buffalo Bandits had higher local TV ratings on The CW for the NLL Finals than what the Florida Panthers had this year on TNT for the Stanley Cup Finals.

Six Nations (7-1) and Peterborough (7-1) keep winning in the MSL, New Westminster (6-0) is now the only team yet to lose across Canada's Senior A circuit, plus Coquitlam (6-1-1) quietly climbs the WLA standings from almost last to first.
