The Wilmot Wild invaded the Bunker Friday night in Shelburne and eeked out a 8-7 victory in overtime.
For the second night in a row the Wild needed extra time to get the two points. With a shortened bench and their fair share of untimely penalties, the Wild are fortunate to remain undefeated a quarter of the way through the season.
The Wild opened the scoring 5 minutes in as both teams seemed to be taking time to exchange pleasantries and get to know each other right off the get go. The first goal was an unassisted marker notched by J.J. Brown. The Vets answered with two of their own before the Wild's Brown connection, (no relation), J.J. and Mitch set each other up to take a 3-2 lead to the dressing room after one period.
The Wild take a 4-2 lead in the second frame on a nifty little goal by rookie sensation Brad Bauman. But penalty trouble bites the Wildmen and the Vets score two quick ones to tie things at 4-4. And the Vets don't stop there. Vet's leading scorer Tyler Greer (filling in nicely for the overage David Irons) tallies to take the Vets to the room with a 5-4 lead.
Greer is not done by a long shot and he comes out of the dressing room pumped and scores his second on the night to give the Vets a 6-4 lead. At this point, coach Hummel has had enough and lights a fire under the boys by threatening a practice of laps and push ups. Cody Hamley answers the call on a nice feed from M. Brown to bring the Wild to within one. J.J. Brown gets the evening up goal at the 9:13 mark and we are all squared up at 6's. Just over a minute later, Ryan Nagel puts the Wild out in front but Greer gets the hat trick goal at the 16:18 mark which would take this game to OT.
The Wild's Nick Seftel would get the only goal in OT for either team and this would afford the Wild to slink out of the Bunker with two points. A strong performance by netminder Josh Falkenstern who faced 53 shots to the Wild's 35 to get his 3rd win of the season.
The Wild's next action is a week from today when they visit those gritty Mountaineers who took the Wild to overtime two nights ago.
The Wild's next home action is the following day, June 2nd, at 3PM and will be the first Rogers TV game of the season as well as minor sports day. More details to follow on this event shortly.

Merchants started their win streak after a 0-4 start by ending Norwood's 5-0 streak.
Top scorers for Norwood were Kyle Clancy 4-0, and Chad Evans 2-2.
Top scorers for Brooklin were Cody Adamson 5-0, Brett Shaw 2-0, and Scott DeFrancesco 0-4.
At the end of the game a few players from both teams decided to test the durability of the new masks. A couple were detached from their helmets.
The Merchants came back from a 7-4 deficit after the second period by outscoring Norwood 6-1 in the third.

The Wilmot Wild extended there winning streak to open the season to a 3 gamer moving to 3-0 thus far in the season. The Wildmen needed overtime on this but got the job nonetheless.
The Wild open the scoring at the 4:31 mark of the first on a goal by Damon Miller. Only 11 seconds later the Mountaineers answered to tie the game at 1-1. Halfway through the first period Mimico took the lead going up 2-1. The Wild answered a minute later on Miller's second of the evening and then 45 seconds later on a nifty marker by Ryan Nagel. At the end of one period the Wild lead 3-2.
Things started to heat up in the second period in the PIM column but only one goal was scored and that was by the Mountaineers as they notched one past goaltender David Hughes. At the end of 2 periods, the game was tied at 3-3.
The third period was a little more exciting as Nick Seftel made use of a misplaced pass by the Mimico goalie and was able to turn it into an unassisted tally only 30 seconds into the frame. The period saw the penalty box fill up for both sides at this point and some ejections were handed out by referees Grant Spies and Phil Givens. Mimico then tied the game at 4s at the 13 minutes mark and this is how the thrid would end. To overtime we go.
The Wild struck first in OT on a great goal by Ryan Nagel. The Mountaineers answered with less than two minutes to play and it looked like the game would end in a tie. On their next trip up the floor however, Nagel pots his second of the game to give the Wild the win.
The Wild move to 3-0 on the season while the Mountaineers move to 0-3.
The Wild don't have time to relish the victory as they head to Shelburne tonight to face a tough opponent in the Vets. This has always been a tough match up and always proved to be an exciting game. Game time is 8PM.

It has been said that bad things tend to come in threes.
On Wednesday evening, rookie Pacer player Darian Chappelle said good-bye to his father. I have no further details at this time.
My heart hurts for both families who have experienced such a loss.
The Pacers organization would like to extend their condolences to the family & friends who are dealing with such grief. Our deepest sympathy to all those who knew and loved this son and father. Their presence will be missed by many.

I know that it costs our beloved moderator $ to keep this site ad free.
Should commercial posts for camps, club team etc. that are for profit endeavours be allowed on this site or should they either be required to buy ads or support the site financialy in order to be able to continue to post?
Discuss.

If Tommy T advertises ANYTHING then he should get it for free purely because of the entertainment he has provided the forum over the years. I guess it would be a grandfather clause.

If anyone, including recruitment or training camps, want to shoot me a few bucks now and then as a free and clear contribution to the site, that'd be great. But adverts are iffy since sponsorship may be construed as a form of immunity to valid criticism of said sponsor(s). I don't think that would be a good thing. The recent discussion over recruitment camps was very good, but might not have happened if camps were a major sponsor of this site. I suppose that a contract of terms, services and obligations could be drawn up, but who has time for that? Or money to have it vetted through a lawyer? Not me on either count.
Camp advertisements are welcome though, providing we are not spammed with adverts about them. By and large recruitment camps adverts have been good and its nice to see more camps and organizations sprout up to meet a demand. Shows out sport is growing.
Now if there was only a CUFLA recruiting camp... :P

Separate yourself from the competition and take your game to the Next Level.
Next Level is an invite/application acceptance only program that caters to the top high school lacrosse players in Canada. Next Level will draw from all regions of the country to select the top 55 players at the high school level. This is not a recruiting event. This is a high intensity training camp to refine skills and educate players of what it takes to excel at the Next Level.Our training camps are for the elite player who has already committed to an NCAA program or has aspirations to play NCAA lacrosse. The acceptance will be limited to 55 students per day. We at Next Level do this for two reasons, 55 is approximately the size of a NCAA Division 1 roster and we want to maintain a low student to instructor ration that allows for high repetitions and instructions during the individual/positional portion of the training camp.
Next Level Lacrosse will be holding four, one day training camps providing you with the tools you need to bring your game to the Next Level.
This training camp was designed to put the players through a full Division 1 practice used by National Champion programs like Loyola and Syracuse to show you what the Next Level looks like. You will then be grouped by positions and work in small groups with current MLL players and former NCAA All American and NCAA Champions on specific skills related to their position.
Over the lunch break the learning does not stop there. Players will have a 1-hour chalk talk that includes lacrosse philosophy and a theory seminar that helps you further understand what the future looks like in the NCAA. At the end of the day, each player will have individual meetings and be provided with a lacrosse specific workout routine so when you leave Next Level Lacrosse, you will know exactly what work you can to do to bring your game to the Next Level.
Director Adam Gardner, Assistant Director Reid Acton and an impressive list of current MLL and past NCAA instructors lead next Level Lacrosse Training Camp. Next Level Lacrosse offers the best way to get a leg up on the competition and find out what it really takes to be recruited. Parents are encouraged to attend.
Players:
Training Camp is limited to 55 players per day. This insures a very low player to instructor ratio and the most dedicated instruction possible. We have space for the following players and positions per day:
12 Defense
12 Attack
20 Midfield
10 Goalies
Cost: $180 per day
Registration:
Please fill in an application at https://nextlevellacrosse.sportngin.com/register/form/387592559
Once your application has been reviewed you will receive confirmation of your acceptance within 48 hours with a registration link.

St. Catharines Athletics welcomed the 6 time Minto Cup winner Whitby Warriors to the Burgoyne arena last night. Much stronger effort from the A's than was seen in their previous game. Warriors seemed slow out of the gate and if not for some early nice saves could have found themselves in a whole. Whitby opened the scoring around the 7 minute mark on a shot from the slot by #9 (O'Connor I believe) who I also felt was the best player on the floor last night. A late first period goal by the A's narrowed the score at 2-1 after one period.
Whitby outscored St. Catharines 4-1 in the 2nd despite being outshot. I heard the announcer state the shots after 2 periods were 31-28 St. Catharines so they had some chances. As mentioned in an earlier post, they lack finish around the net , but they are getting better. I counted at least half a dozen posts throughout the game.
A possession early in the 3rd by the Athletics gave the fans some optimism for the future. The A's controlled the play in the Warriors zone for a good minute -minute and a half and through 2 line changes. It resulted in several good scoring chances, though no goals, however it was a minor victory to help steer the kids towards what it is going to take to win in this league. Some serious defensive meltdowns in the 3rd gave the visitors several quality chances and they found the back of the net a couple more times.
And, after laying down my 5 bucks for 50/50 draw for the last, oh 30 years or so, I finally won! 61 big ones, same year as I was born. Ha

The 2-0-0 Wild are home to the 0-2-0 Mountaineers from Mimico at the Wilmot Recreation Complex tonight at 8PM. The Wild are looking to extend their win streak to 3 while the Mountaineers are looking to hit the win column for the first time this season. The Mountaineers have played two tough games to date and have not been on the floor for almost two full weeks. You can bet they will have had time to practice the fundamentals and will come out firing on all cylinders tonight.
Make sure you come by the rink and enjoy the action as EJs will take care of any hunger or thirst you have mounted coming to the rink. Ron, pulled pork (mmmmmmmmm pork) and cold beverages are on the menu as well as $6/lb wings and $5 domestic pints back at EJs Tavern after the game. Join us for an evening of good eats...good drink...and hang out with some rowdy lacrosse peeps up in the Wild Den.
If you cant be at the rink in person, we got you covered on Twitter and hopefully web radio. We will update throughout the day to whether we will carry the feed live.
If you are not near a computer, we will have you Tweeted as Tweetmaster B will be in the house covering the action as it happens. Follow us on Twitter @WilmotWild for the highlights.

Colby Michael Hancock,
It is with great sadness that the family announces the sudden passing of Colby on Monday, May 20, 2013 in Brockville, Ontario, at the age of four. Beloved, adored and amazing son of Kate and Mike "Hammer" Hancock. Cherished grandson and soul mate of Susan and Terry Hancock, Beth Reid (Neil) and Harold Fry (Tami). Treasured nephew of Kyle (Carmen), Jonathan (Celia) and Jessica Pletch (Dan). Dear cousin of Anna and Colin. Great grandson of Margaret Fry. Fellow classmate of the Junior and Senior Kindergarten friends and teachers at Harrison Public School. Proud teammate of the Halton Hills Bulldogs and Toronto Rock players, coaches and staff.
Friends will be received at the J.S. Jones & Son Funeral Home, 11582 Trafalgar Rd., north of Maple Ave., Georgetown 905-877-3631 on Friday from 2-4 & 7-9pm. Funeral service will be held in the chapel on Saturday May 25, at 11:00am. Interment Hillcrest Cemetery, Norval.

My deepest sympathy to Mike "Hammer" his family, friends and to the Bulldogs organization. I've personally known Mike as he came to us as a young helper back in 1995. That year we moved our Jr "B" team from Caledon into what would be the start of one of the most thriving Jr "B" centres in the province...the Georgetown Bulldogs (later to become Halton Hills). Others like myself moved out of the area and went on with other centers while Mike stayed on with the Bulldogs as he has done every year since 1995. This is one dediciated person not only to lacrosse but more importantly his family. This will no doubt be the toughest loss ever for Mike but let him know that our lacrosse community is right there supporting him during this difficult time. Let Colby's spirit will live on through you Mike.
God bless you and your family,
Barry Trood

Our deepest condolences go out to Mike and his family at this tragic time. While we in the lacrosse world are often foes at the rink words cannot describe how one father feels for another at a time like this. Outside of the playing surface I like to think we lax folks are a family. And family supports family no matter what the scoreboard tells us.
Mike...please take time away from the game to heal. You have a great organization in Halton and the show will go on.

I would imagine that these new protective shields were CSA approved and tested before going to market. If so what does that say about the standards for face protection. With the WLA and now Womens Sr lacrosse making a stand against said masks they sure sound suspect . I have been informed that the makers are ONTY a company name I am not familiar with. Is this cage a brand new concept or a small design change? of a model line purchased from another company? I have a lot of questions having not used or seen one. I cannot attach my name to this petition because in all fairness I have not seen any damage or even seen one of these. The CLA had a meeting a week or so ago concerning constituents worries about the safety or need for them, where can I find the results of that meeting? All fans should watch with great interest with the Major series starting this week to see how these "protectors" are received in the toughest of all lacrosse. Some teams have a lot of money tied up in players and operating costs, I dont honestly see Ted Higgins standing idly by while some of his high priced stars may be injured. For that matter I hope that the players make a stand if the Masks are a problem. "Take back the Game" might just be the slogan of the Summer.
Posted on May 22, 2013, 9:33 AM from IP address 72.38.126.138
Pending approval. Starting friday players 18+ must sign waiver first. This is a start but still not good enough. Waive liability for a safer cage? That just sounds ridiculous. The governing bodies are listening, nows the time to yell loudest.

Our condolences to the Bosco family for the recent loss of Eric. Even though Eric was a big supporter of Whitby Minor Lacrosse, he was also there to give a helping hand to start up Oshawa Minor Lacrosse a few years ago as well. Something that will always be appreciated.
I had the pleasure of coaching with Eric in the early part of the decade when I coached one of Eric's sons Brock with the Whitby Tyke A team in 2003, going on to win a provincial championship that year against a spirited Brampton team. I also had the privilege of watching Stephen, his older son, develop into an outstanding lacrosse referee, working with him in my short time living in the Whitby area and seeing him grow into a great official.
The family loved lacrosse. While soft spoken, Eric had a true passion for the game and a true competitive spirit that fuelled him. Obviously his love for lacrosse was contagious and those around him could not help but be affected. I am grateful to Eric for helping me early in my career - showing me the importance of developing fundamentals and building a team concept. He was also very honest and several times was the only person who told me exactly what I needed to hear in a very tactful way. To Stephen and Brock and family, my condolences - Eric was a great man and I know he was very proud of both of you.

It sounds as if the Wild are following a formula for sucess that few seem to understand. I have mentioned in this space before about how I feel about staff and game ops . There needs to be a family feel amongst these people . With a post game reception each and every one of your game night staff have a chance to go over any mistakes made that game ,and work towards improving. They also may feel more appreciated courtesy of this gesture. A few drinks ( soft or not) and something to snack can result in a very positive feeling in your building. Your exuberance and commitment to promote your team need to be copied and admired. Whether any team operator in the OLA wants to admit it or not ,a full building is everyones goal next to a trophy. May I add that having well placed announcements thanking the fans for their patronage can result in a bigger gate. Essentially what I am getting at is " Build it and they will come" . Sour faces and negativity can not be tolerated , teams need to put their best face forwards as soon as those paying customers enter the building. These are some of the things I have noted in my 40+ years of helping out a Sporting events. Keep up the good work Wilmot ( wherever that is )in my books you are on a course to sucess. P.S I can be flown in for P.A much cheaper than Tommy T !!

The 1-0-0 Wild are home to the 0-1-2 Saints from Innisfil at the Wilmot Recreation Complex this Saturday at 3PM. The Wild are looking to extend their win streak while the Saints are looking for that elusive first win. The Saints have tied twice already this season narrowly missing the win column over the Shelburne Vets and Hamilton Bengals just last evening.
The Wild are very excited about the product on the floor as Coaches Hummel and Diebolt have the boys in mid season form and the players are responding well to what the experienced coaches have to teach.
Make sure you come by the rink and enjoy the action as EJs will take care of any hunger or thirst you have mounted coming to the rink. Pulled pork and cold beverages are on the menu as well as $6/lb wings and $5 domestic pints back at EJs Tavern after the game. Join us for an afternoon of good eats...good drink...and good lax folk up in the Wild Den. The game is being sponsored by the Township of Wilmot and we are appreciative for their continued support. To show his support, Mayor Armstrong will be on hand signing autographs and taking pictures with the babies so be sure to get their early to get your close up.
If you cant be at the rink in person, we got you covered. Local radio icons Steve The Doc MacGregor, (whos nickname comes not from the fact that he is a physician but how he carved up his opponents when he played) and Tim The Voice Wilson (whos recent gigs include voice overs for Lion King XI and the mime in The Silent Defender hockey blockbuster), take to the air waves to bring you the action. Tune intohttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/laxradio at game time and catch the action as these two local legends will entertain and bring you to tears with laughter.
If you are not near a computer, we will have you Tweeted as Tweetmaster B will be in the house covering the action as it happens. Follow us on Twitter @WilmotWild for the highlights.
Be sure to go to www.WilmotWild.com for post game comments, game recap and player stats. The new site is looking great and ready to dish out all the info on the Wild and the OLA Jr. C loop.
Player profiles are in the works and should be updated with photos by early next week. Check back to see what these mugs look like without those beautiful new CLA approved facemasks on and full stats on all the Wildmen.

is a little steep but we are whittling him down. He has agreed in principle but just like rock stars and pro athletes on the speech circuit, Tommy has his conditions. Right now we are trying to bring him down from 10 lbs of red M&Ms to 6lbs, 6 bunches of red seedless grapes to 3 bunches of green seeds in, but the kicker, and the deal breaker right now...believe it or not....is the 6 gallons of Sunny D he is wanting in his dressing room. I am holding out for Tang crystals but he is pushing hard for the number one seller in OJ.
Stay tuned....will keep you all posted

The Wilmot Wild improved there record to 2-0 Saturday with a win over the visiting Innisfil Saints. The Wild home opener did not disappoint with both the Mayor and MPP on hand to hand out some hardware to last year's award winners and partake in the ceremonial faceoff. The Wild welcomed close to 200 people and many enjoyed an EJ's sammy and cold bevvie while taking in the action on the floor.
After the pregame festivities were concluded and action was underway, the Wild struck first on a marker by Nick Seftel. Half a period later the Wild went up 2-0 on an goal by Patrick Montag. The Saints notched a squeaker at the 6:06 mark and the teams went to the break with the Wild up 2-1.
The Wild fans let loose with a number of blue discs during the always popular game night frisbee toss lead by 2012 Overall team MVP Cody Brown.
When play resumed, the Wild found themselves in penalty trouble and the Saints didn't pass up the opportunity to cash in on a powerplay goal to tie the game at 2-2. But that's as close as the visitors would get this night as 6ft 7in Josh Falkenstern shut the door the rest of the way keeping the visitors off the scoresheet. Coach Hummel must have lit a fire under the Wildmen as singles were added by midget callup Cody Hamley, Mitch Brown and Paul Inglis to give the Wild five different scorers on the night.
The third period was mostly a defensive battle with a few unsportmanlike penalties on each side but nothing in the goal column for either team.
Final score was Wilmot Wild 5 - Innisfil Saints 2.
The Wild's next action is this Thursday night at home as they welcome the Mimico Mountaineers to the Wild Den. Join us again for good eats and cold drinks as EJ's is in the house making your summer evening lacrosse game that much more enjoyable.
We apologize to those who were looking forward to the radio broadcast but technical difficulties at the home site in the US of A prevented Doc and The Voice from getting on the air. We are working out the kinks and hope to bring you live action as it happens this Thursday night.
Go Wild Go
