Matt Rambo, the league s MVP in 2019, is confident in his Whipsnakes heading into this weekend s game against the Cannons.
On December 6, 1963, American Football league commissioner Joe Foss wrote a letter to National Football League Commissioner Pete Rozelle issuing a challenge: the winner of the AFL playoffs against the winner of the NFL playoffs in an annual championship game.
Rozelle initially rebuffed the invitation, but in July 1966, an agreement was finally made between Rozelle and Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt to merge the two leagues and hold a championship game between the AFL and NFL what we now know as the Super Bowl.
Sean Quirk is the architect behind the new-look Cannons LC.
True to the Core: How Sean Quirk Built the Cannons Lacrosse Club

Sean Quirk believes you become what you surround yourself with.
If that’s the case, then the Cannons Lacrosse Club will become a blend of veteran leaders who are some of the most recognizable names in the game, arguably the world’s best player and a nucleus of young talent that made waves last summer. That balance is by design.
“I love where we are with the roster and what we’ve built up to this point,” Quirk said.

The Premier Lacrosse League Waiver Wire opened with the Cannons making plenty of moves acquiring the former Major League Lacrosse MVP and a Super Bowl champion, among others.
The move that will make most national headlines is the Cannons picking up Chris Hogan, the former Super Bowl champion wide receiver with the New England Patriots, who was a midfielder at Penn State. That news was picked up by the Patriots franchise itself. How much of an impact he actually could make compared with plenty of full-time lacrosse options is yet to be seen, but it’s no surprise he’s been picked up by the team wearing Blue, Red and Silver.
