Jer15 Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 It looks like the Owen Sound/Brampton issues that almost put the 2022 MSL season on the shelf are resolved. The Peterborough Examiner had an article about this earlier in December and the league (see below picture) announced this as well. Still not sure if Brampton can use the Excelsiors name 1 Quote GTA United(USA) 2015 + 2016 USA Champions/Toronto Maroons (ULL)2014, 2015 + 2022 Gait Cup Champions/Toronto Northmen (TNFF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigers Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Brampton could easily move on with a different nickname, logo, whole package. Good to see that the issue has been resolved but Owen Sound needs a better identity also. Quote Logano wins BOWL before Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it's not 100% clear (the club says they were established in 1883 but 1912 seems to be the further record kept) there is over 110 years behind that name, 140 if the 1883 date is to be believed. Let's call a spade a spade: they could go on with a different nickname and logo but it would be a big disappointment. 1 Quote GTA United(USA) 2015 + 2016 USA Champions/Toronto Maroons (ULL)2014, 2015 + 2022 Gait Cup Champions/Toronto Northmen (TNFF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer15 Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 More on MSL from the LAX mag here The short of it is that it seems all but certain that the Excelsiors will be the Brampton team name and that neither Owen Sound or Brampton are paying an expansion fee. The other note is that Oakville has asked for a second 1-year hiatus so they are not allowed to participate in the draft but can protect 4 junior A graduates. Looks like MSL will be a 6 team league this year and potentially a 7 team league in 2024. 1 Quote GTA United(USA) 2015 + 2016 USA Champions/Toronto Maroons (ULL)2014, 2015 + 2022 Gait Cup Champions/Toronto Northmen (TNFF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they need a bit of stability so getting all of that team changes out of the way is a big step in the right direction. Quote Logano wins BOWL before Chargers.

This was sent out in an email that probably mentions the stadium, but that is a valid point if it's not somewhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4_tattoos Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 first game of the PLL Championship Series starts in about 15 minutes on ESPN2. I've got nothing better to do at 5:30pm on a Wednesday. Quote Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 First time watching sixes lacrosse (or at least PLL's variation of it). Not bad at all, it's been very enjoyable so far. I'd prefer for the quarters to be a little longer, but like the basketball-ish back and forth pace. With that said I do not think the PLL regular season or NCAA should change to this format. If the Olympics are only willing to accept sixes lacrosse I wouldn't be upset over it. 1 Quote Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_tattoos Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 I know the championship series is entirely different from regular season PLL & most of the A squad guys aren't playing in this, but it's weird seeing the Whipsnakes struggle.

4_tattoos Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. If the sixes format remains limited to the PLL championship series and possibly international lacrosse I would be okay with that. As someone that enjoys good defensive play in sports I want traditional 10 vs 10 field lacrosse to remain as is (stated this in previous post).

Jer15 Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 Well....after all that BS in MSL: Owen Sound is "sitting out the season.". There's literally no social media presence, no web site, no confirmation of an agreement for the team to play anywhere (the assumption would be at The Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre - home of the OHL's Attack). Seems to me more and more that Joe Norton has no clue what he's doing. I wouldn't be surprised if this Owen Sound team never ends up playing a game.
