Jax Tickets go on sale today at 10am. Opening day is January 12th.

The Portland LumberJax have announced that all individual game tickets for the 2008 season will go on sale starting Tuesday, December 18 at 10 a.m.

The Jax should be much better this year than last. In the off season they picked up Dangerous Dan Dawson, who last year was third in the NLL in goals and tied for second in assists.

LumberJax fans: Who do we hate?

LumberJax

A couple weeks ago I posted about the 2008 season’s resurrection. Rick from Beerdrinker.org posted a salient comment:

any tips for which game someone new to the sport…solid rivalries or whatnot?

Who are our rivals?

Which teams, players, or coaches do real LumberJax fans hate?

Please post comments!

After a few tough games, coupled with the playoff loss to them in 2006, I would nominate the Arizona Sting as our biggest division rival. But alas, they have ceased operations in 2008 (but with plans to return in 2009). Who should we shower with hate this season?

2008 Lumberjax season saved!

LumberJax According to this report on the National Lacrosse League website the league has reached a Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Professional Lacrosse Player’s Association.

The agreement also means that professional indoor lacrosse will be played in 2008. When a new CBA had not reached by the league’s deadline last week, the 2008 season was canceled. A new schedule for the 2008 National Lacrosse League season is expected to be announced next week.
