The Box Lacrosse Roundup: May 31
As the calendar flips to June, the box lacrosse action around Canada will really start to heat up. Most teams have all of their players back from US colleges, and the standings will start to mean more as the games played even out.
Speaking of, a great game is taking place Friday night in Orangeville, as the Mimico Mountaineers visit Tony Rose Arena. LCD’s Jon Donville will be on the broadcast on Youtube for the OJLL. A link to that stream can be found here.
For those looking for some reading before the weekend, check out this story on Paige Murphy, a freshman from Calgary who scored a remarkable 113 goals this year in the NCAA. That can be found below.

While the story of the last newsletter was the huge offensive performances by teams across the league, the defenders and goaltenders stole the show this week.
Nobody had a better week than the Brampton Excelsiors, who got back to back victories and pushed themselves above .500 on the season.
Well, maybe except for the Toronto Beaches, who got Matt Collison back from Johns Hopkins. Willem Firth and Greg Palmer have 36 and 29 points respectively in just four games. Do the math folks…
Lastly, KW stabilized after a difficult start to the season with a huge win over Six Nations.
