I believe that Peterborough would have to be the favourites to win the MSL in Ontario.

The Brookin Redmen play at Iroquois Park in Whitby, ON.

stonewalls right peter borough is the fav again, and im dissapointed that awkwasasne changed their name. i was glad i was onlyu one of 15 in an arena that could purnounce it.

You're picking Brampton to be the one team that misses the playoffs? Even after they've been Ontario finalists for like the last 9 years in a row? Even with the fact that many of their Mann-Cup-Whore ringers are coming home this summer?

OK.

[Canadian Lax]

Awkwasasne changed their name this year to the St. Regis Indians.

I personally dont like the name change.

[Captain Cool]

Peterborough. Enough said.

[laxpimp]

Peterborough. Enough said.


Yes. No-one will touch them.

i just dont like brampton, espeacily those goofs that follow them around to the redmen games wearing the BE jerseys, their allways the only people there cheering for them....

[Canadian Lax]

I like Brampton and Awkwasasne. I love watching summer box theres nothing better.

Does anyone know what arena the St. Regis Indians (formally Akwesasne Thunder) play their home games in??.....i cant find the answer on the major series web site

I don't think they've moved.

Probably still the Turtle Dome on the 'Sas rez.

I think the Redmen will sneak into the playoffs and win it all. They now have a secret weapon on their roster that not too many fans know about.

Lakers
Excelsiors
Chiefs
Redmen
Kodiaks
Indians

Of course I don't know how they are going to run the playoffs. Maybe the top two get a bye, the bottom 3 have a round robin where the top two of that play in a second round robin with the 3rd seed and then the top two of that play a best of seven series with the two bye teams and then the winners of those series play a one game final in Wallaceburg who, at the last minute, put in a secret bid to host the final when no one knew WTF was really happening.

Eh, just kidding eh? :naughty:

i cant seem to find directions to the arena.....any chance you have them??...and how long does it take to get there from Toronto??

It's near Cornwall, so 4 hours-ish.

No idea where the arena is, never been to that Rez.

One thing - I've heard patrons of the Turtle Dome aren't always as friendly as those at Six Nations. Typical advice for visiting fans applies - be respectful, polite, and aware of your surroundings.

[laxgoalieking]

you get ohh on the majore off ramp for cornwall take that south till the round about, then take the massive bridge( you cant miss it) then pay your 3.50 at the toll and then once you get to the main road, the only road, take a left and aboput 3 minutes you'll see a big sign with a picture of the arena and take a left on that drive way thing pass the [pizza place and its a big building with a green rook, the reasons its called the tutrle dome is because from the brige it looks like a turtle.

[Canadian Lax]

well the St. Regis Indians are in Brooklyn tonight.....who do u guys think is going to come out on top??

i think if JT is playing tonight the Indians will come out on top....the last game he played he had 7 points

[RockStar]

well the St. Regis Indians are in Brooklyn tonight.....who do u guys think is going to come out on top??

Depends on which players show up for each team......early season games are a crapshoot.

One thing I do know - Brooklin looked pretty crappy in last week's game against 6-Nations.

no way A.J. shannon is really coming back!!!!? omg im physkic.

[RockStar]

I'm not sure about that.

I've heard (straight from him) that he hates playing on concrete......figure he's a Rattler again this summer.

Then again, he doesn't yet have a Mann Cup ring and might take a shot at it later in the season....you know, get in his four games and then show up for the playoffs.

[#15Roadies]

It ain't Shannon...

[RockStar]

It ain't Shannon...
Well he showed up tonight anyway.

Who else is coming?

[Canadian Lax]

Well Brooklyn came out with the win 10-7 i believe, it was a great game pretty physical.

depends on your name.. not exactly sure what the average is .. it's not much

It's officially amateur/semi-pro - the guys are only supposed to be paid for expenses (gas, meals, equipment, etc.)

Now, in the real world there's gas money, and then there's gas money.

If you're say Attacker no. 8 or defender no. 8, (i.e. role player only), you're probably getting like $30 or $50 to cover your gas and dinner.

I've heard guys like John Tavares use a lot more gas and are thus paid like $500 per game.

[Canadian Lax]

^^^^^ your very right RockStar.

$500 per game isnt that pretty much what he would get in a NLL game to????...or does players like him get more then that in an NLL game?

They play on Cornwall Island on the Reserve. The arena is A'NOWARA'KO:WA (or just Turtle Dome). We played there on the weekend. Its a nice arena. I know they still play there because they had signs for it and they had the Major sized nets (4X4'6). I was checkin em out.

And I saw on their wall of fame that the team was formerly called St. Regis Indians. So I guess they just wanna revert back to the original name.

NLL League max is ~$20K US, there are 16 games. Do the math.

Of course I'm told there is off-book money available for selected players
