Overview of NCAA Lacrosse Tournament Structures

The NCAA lacrosse tournaments serve as the pinnacle of the college lacrosse season across all divisions. Each year, the top teams battle it out in a thrilling playoff format to determine the national champions. Let’s break down the key details of how the tournaments are structured in 2024:

Division I features a 16-team bracket for both men and women
Division II has a 10-team bracket for men and 12-team bracket for women
Division III uses a 28-team bracket for men and 32-team bracket for women

The bracket sizes and formats have evolved over the years, with some recent changes implemented due to financial and logistical factors stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding the current structures is crucial for fans following the road to the championships.

Division I Lacrosse Tournament Format

The Division I tournaments represent the highest level of collegiate lacrosse competition. Here are the key details of the DI playoff structure:

16 teams qualify for both men’s and women’s tournaments
10 automatic bids awarded to conference champions
6 at-large bids selected by the NCAA committee
First round through semifinals played at campus sites
Championship games held at a predetermined neutral location

Can any team win the DI title as a lower seed? While upsets do occur, the top seeds tend to have an advantage. Since 2010, only one team seeded lower than 5th has won the men’s championship (Yale as the 8th seed in 2018). The women’s tournament has seen more parity, with unseeded James Madison winning in 2018.

Changes to Division II Tournament Structure

The Division II lacrosse tournaments have undergone some notable changes in recent years. What are the current formats for DII?

Men’s bracket reduced from 12 to 10 teams
Women’s bracket reduced from 16 to 12 teams
Reductions implemented in 2021 due to pandemic-related financial constraints

Why were these changes made to the DII tournaments? The NCAA cited several factors:

Loss of revenue from lack of fan attendance
Increased costs for COVID testing and safety protocols
Overall budget constraints stemming from pandemic impacts

While the smaller brackets limit opportunities for some teams, they have allowed the tournaments to continue operating in a sustainable manner. The DII lacrosse community has adapted to the new reality while still showcasing high-level competition.

Evolution of the Division III Tournament

The Division III men’s lacrosse tournament has seen significant changes to its structure in recent years. How has the DIII bracket evolved?

Pre-2021: 36-team bracket
2021-present: 28-team bracket
Current format includes 27 automatic qualifiers and 1 at-large bid

Why was the DIII men’s bracket reduced? Similar to Division II, financial considerations stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a smaller tournament field. The reduction allows the tournament to operate more efficiently while still providing opportunities for top teams to compete for a national title.

Has the smaller bracket impacted competitive balance? To some degree, yes. Powerhouse conferences like the NESCAC, which could previously send 4-5 teams to the tournament, now have fewer at-large opportunities. This places increased importance on winning conference tournaments to secure automatic bids.

Automatic Qualifiers and At-Large Selection Process

Understanding how teams qualify for the NCAA lacrosse tournaments is crucial for following the postseason picture. What are the key components of the selection process?

Automatic qualifiers (AQs) awarded to conference tournament champions
At-large bids selected by NCAA committee based on several criteria
Strength of schedule, RPI, quality wins, and head-to-head results considered

How many automatic qualifiers are there in each division?

Division I: 10 AQs (men and women)
Division II: 6 AQs for men, 8 for women
Division III: 27 AQs for men, 29 for women

The number of at-large bids varies by division and gender, filling out the remainder of each bracket. The selection process can lead to intense debate, particularly for the final few spots in each tournament field.

Top Conferences and Programs to Watch

While the specific teams in contention change each year, certain conferences and programs have established themselves as perennial powerhouses. Which ones should fans keep an eye on in 2024?

Division I Men

ACC: Duke, Virginia, North Carolina
Big Ten: Maryland, Penn State, Ohio State
Ivy League: Yale, Cornell, Princeton

Division I Women

ACC: North Carolina, Boston College, Syracuse
Big Ten: Northwestern, Maryland, Michigan
Pac-12: USC, Stanford, Colorado

Division II Men

Northeast-10: Merrimack, Le Moyne, Adelphi
ECC: Mercy, NYIT, LIU Post

Division II Women

Northeast-10: Adelphi, Le Moyne, New Haven
PSAC: West Chester, East Stroudsburg, Millersville

Division III Men

NESCAC: Tufts, Wesleyan, Amherst
Centennial: Gettysburg, Franklin & Marshall, Dickinson

Division III Women

NESCAC: Middlebury, Tufts, Colby
NEWMAC: Babson, MIT, Springfield

These conferences and programs have consistently produced top-tier talent and competed for national championships. However, the landscape of college lacrosse is always evolving, with new contenders emerging each season.

Impact of Conference Realignment on Tournaments

Conference realignment has been a major storyline in college athletics in recent years. How has this affected the lacrosse tournament landscape?

Creation of lacrosse-only conferences (e.g. ASUN, Big East men’s lacrosse)
Shifting of automatic qualifier bids as conferences change
Potential for increased or decreased competitiveness in certain leagues

Has realignment benefited some programs more than others? In some cases, yes. For example, Jacksonville’s men’s program has thrived since joining the ASUN, securing multiple NCAA tournament appearances. Conversely, some traditional powers have faced stiffer competition in new conference alignments.

As realignment continues to shape the college sports landscape, lacrosse programs and fans must stay informed about how these changes impact postseason qualification and competitive balance.

Tournament Locations and Hosting Considerations

The venues that host NCAA lacrosse tournament games play a crucial role in the championship experience. What factors are considered when selecting host sites?

Facility quality and capacity
Geographic location and accessibility
Host institution’s ability to manage the event
Potential for strong attendance and atmosphere

How are the various rounds typically structured in terms of location?

Early rounds often held at campus sites of higher seeds
Quarterfinals and semifinals may be at neutral sites or campus locations
Championship games held at predetermined neutral venues

Recent years have seen an emphasis on bringing championship events to lacrosse hotbeds and major markets. For example, the 2024 Division I men’s championship weekend will be held at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, a city with a rich lacrosse history and large fan base.

The selection of tournament sites aims to balance competitive fairness, fan experience, and logistical considerations. As the sport continues to grow, we may see an expansion of potential host locations across the country.

Broadcast and Streaming Coverage of NCAA Tournaments

Media coverage plays a vital role in showcasing the excitement of the NCAA lacrosse tournaments. How can fans follow the action in 2024?

Division I games broadcast on ESPN networks (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU)
ESPN+ streaming platform covers additional games
Division II and III coverage primarily through NCAA.com streaming
Some conferences provide additional streaming options for early rounds

Has the increased broadcast coverage impacted the growth of college lacrosse? Absolutely. The exposure provided by national television broadcasts, particularly for the Division I tournaments, has helped expand the sport’s fanbase and visibility. This, in turn, has contributed to the growth of lacrosse at all levels across the country.

As streaming technology continues to evolve, fans can expect even more comprehensive coverage of NCAA lacrosse tournaments in the coming years. This increased accessibility allows die-hard supporters and casual fans alike to experience the excitement of playoff lacrosse.

The NCAA lacrosse tournaments represent the pinnacle of achievement for college programs across all divisions. From the intense competition on the field to the passionate fans in the stands, these events showcase the very best of the sport. As we look ahead to the 2024 championships, the stage is set for another thrilling postseason filled with unforgettable moments and performances.

While the tournament structures have evolved in recent years due to various factors, the core excitement and drama of playoff lacrosse remains unchanged. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the sport, the NCAA tournaments offer a perfect entry point to experience the speed, skill, and passion that make lacrosse so captivating.

As programs across the country battle for conference titles and jockey for postseason position, the anticipation builds for another memorable championship season. Which teams will rise to the occasion and etch their names in the annals of college lacrosse history? The journey to the 2024 NCAA lacrosse championships promises to be filled with twists, turns, and unforgettable moments that will resonate with fans for years to come.

NCAA DII, DIII Tournament Brackets to be Smaller in ’21

(Inside Lacrosse Photo: Craig Chase)

The NCAA Division II and Division III lacrosse tournaments will look different in 2021.

In what has been an expected move in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, details of the brackets for the 2021 season have started to take shape. The NCAA officially released the DII bracket sizes — the men’s will be 10 teams (from 12) and the women’s will be 12 (from 16).

DII has been a huge source of growth in college lacrosse — more than doubling in the number of teams over the past decade. The recent expansion of the tournament has been a boon for the division, with programs proving to be able to quickly compete for a postseason spot shortly after adding a team.

Across the board in all sports, postseason spots are roughly down 25%.

In men’s DIII, according to several coaches in the wake of the IMCLA Convention, the proposed bracket could be 28 teams (from 36). It could feature 27 spots for automatic qualifiers and one for an at-large bid. It is unclear whether that bid would be or a Pool B or a Pool C team.

Pool B is for an independent team or a team from a conference that does not have an AQ. Pool C bids are the ones most-discussed on Selection Sunday — top-tier teams that do not win their conference’s championship.

Coaches did express some doubt that all 27 AQ conferences would be able to participate in the 2021 season, possibly opening up more AQs. One scenario that was discussed was that if a conference starts the season with four teams, it would be allowed to retain its AQ.

The outlined scenario would mean some very good teams will be left out of the NCAA Tournament. Conferences like the NESCAC, for example, could normally justify four or five teams in the tournament.

It’s just one of many pieces to the 2021 state of play, as winter sports are currently under the microscope. The Centennial Conference, home to several top programs, canceled fall and winter sports last week.

NCAA to Downsize Division II National Tournaments; Division III Could Follow

PHOTO BY JOHN STROHSACKER

In an unfortunate (and somewhat expected) decision due to ongoing financial complications associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the NCAA announced last week that its Division II winter and spring championship tournaments will be smaller.

The new bracket sizes reveal that the Division II men’s tournament will go from 12 teams to 10, and the women’s tournament will go from 16 teams to 12. You can see COVID’s impact on the full Division II playoff landscape here.

“The field and bracket size reductions of the 18 Division II 2021 winter and spring championships vary by sport, with 12 of them being reduced by 25 percent,” according to the NCAA announcement. “The reductions were initially recommended by each sport committee. The Division II Championships Committee and the Division II Planning and Finance Committee each approved the recommendations. The reductions that are more or less than 25 percent were made because of logistical or practical concerns with operating that sport’s championship.”

The NCAA cited monetary concerns from the loss of fans as part of the reason but also acknowledged that increased costs surrounding COVID testing and other safety protocols were factored into the budgets and new playoff plans.

“Additionally, Division II needed to use nearly $5 million from its reserves to cover expenses for the 2019-20 fiscal year,” the NCAA said in its release. “Lost revenue from the cancellation of the Division I Men’s Basketball Championships caused Division II to be allocated nearly $35 million less than it was projected for the 2019-20 fiscal year. Division II did receive $15 million in event cancellation insurance — part of $270 million the NCAA received between multiple policies — that helped mitigate the financial impact.”

Though nothing official has been announced on the Division III front, Inside Lacrosse reported Monday that similar downsizing is expected.

Matt Kinnear wrote that the proposed bracket, which came in the wake of the recent IMLCA Convention, would go from 36 to 28 teams — possibly featuring 27 automatic qualifiers and one at-large bid. Coaches, however, expressed doubt that all 27 automatic qualifiers would be able to participate in the 2021 season. The NESCAC, an annual lacrosse powerhouse conference, was the first conference in the country to cancel spring sports in 2020 and could potentially be at the forefront of such a decision again. The conference often features four or five teams in the NCAA tournament each year.

Every postseason college lacrosse tournament bracket

The month of May means a few things. The weather warms up, the unofficial start to summer approaches, and school is winding down for some.

But it also means the second season of college lacrosse is here. Yes, the playoffs. No more recovering from losses the following week, because if you lose, your season is done.

The NCAA unveiled the tournament brackets for Divisions I, II, and III on the men’s and women’s side Sunday night. We had a live College Crossecast reacting to the unveiling of the men’s Division I bracket.

But as for the other divisions, as well as our good friends from the MCLA, they don’t get a ton of love. But we hope to give them as much love as possible this month.

Here’s all of the notable playoff tournament brackets!

NCAA Men’s Division I

NCAA Men’s Division II

After missing out last season, Limestone is back as the top seed in the south region and the only undefeated in the Division II Tournament.

Le Moyne is the top seed in the north region. Defending national champion Merrimack is the sixth and final seed in the north and take on Mercyhurst. Merrimack, along with LIU Post (who did not make it to the tournament), will transition to Division I next season.

NCAA Men’s Division III

The first round games happened yesterday with John Carroll and SUNY Maritime winning in overtime. The second round games occur today.

NCAA Women’s Division I

Yesterday, Jacksonville and Wagner won their two opening round games to advance to the first round. Those games happen on Friday.

Division III Men’s Lacrosse Programs That Deserve More Love

To show some love to teams at various levels that don’t always get the attention they deserve, we’re continuing a series to shine a light on underappreciated lacrosse programs. Next up: Division III men’s lacrosse.

What’s the criteria? That’s a gray area, but there are some general guidelines. For the most part, a team cannot be a perennial powerhouse or the first name you think of when someone says their division. For example, Salisbury isn’t underappreciated – we all know they’re amazing and the regular top dog in the NCAA.

Now, let’s highlight some organizations that have earned some respect among the underappreciated lacrosse masses.

Underappreciated Division III Men’s Lacrosse Programs

Denison

Located in Granville, Ohio, Denison is anything but underappreciated in the Midwest. But the fact remains that anyone outside of the Midwest doesn’t understand the significant of the sustained success that the Big Red bring to the table. Other teams – Hope, Albion, Aurora, IWU, OWU – do it really well, but Denison does it best.

A typical Denison season over the last 10 years looks like this: win 15-plus games, play a strong non-conference schedule, play Ohio Wesleyan extremely tight but win most of the time, beat a ranked team or two from our east, lose to Salisbury in May. The Big Red are an icon in the NCAC conference, the Midwest, and if they were located a few hours east, they probably wouldn’t make this list of undervalued Division III men’s lacrosse programs.

Colorado College

I respect the hell out of a program that works as hard, travels as far, and wins as much as Colorado Springs’ Colorado College. If you look at the team’s schedule, it is a hodgepodge of Division II and Division III lacrosse teams from all over the country. These guys have had a “play anyone, anywhere” attitude born out of necessity, but it’s grown into their identity.

Colorado College’s record over the last 10 years isn’t as consistent as some others, like Denison, but every one in a while, it catches magic in a bottle. Just remember the second round of the 2018 Division III championship.

Middlebury College

Wesleyan, Amherst, and Tufts are the names we often think about when discussing elite Division III men’s lacrosse. Not only are they all members of the NESCAC, but seven of the last 10 Division III title games have included at least one of these teams.

Flashback to 2000 through 2002, and we remember a Middlebury team that won three-consecutive championships, then lost in the ultimate game to Salisbury in 2003 and 2005. This is a program with tremendous pedigree that elevated the entire conference to what it is today.

But all this talk about the past isn’t what makes Middlebury underappreciated. It’s the fact that, despite not having won the conference recently, it remains competitive:

2016 – 12-7, lost in NCAA Tournament first round, 11-10, to Springfield

2017 – 9-9, lost to Tufts, 16-13, beat Amherst, 12-11, in NESCAC Quarterfinals, and narrowly defeated by Wesleyan, 9-8, in the NESCAC Final

2018 – 9-7, lost to Tufts, 13-10 and 16-12

2019 – 8-9, beat Wesleyan, 11-7, in NESCAC Quarterfinals, lost to Tufts ,14-13, in the NESCAC Final

The records are a result of strong in-and-out-of-conference play, and while Middlebury hasn’t been able to win the conference as of late, it did get an NCAA Tournament bid in 2016. This is a team that will punish you if you play anything less than perfect. There isn’t a Division III men’s lacrosse coach on the East Coast who looks at Middlebury on the schedule without an unsettled stomach.

What’s At Stake?
The winner of Sunday’s championship game will claim the first NCAA championship in the history of the program. Both Cabrini and Amherst are making their first ever appearance in the NCAA title game.

The Cavaliers avenged both of its regular season losses en route to Sunday’s title game, as Cabrini topped York and Salisbury. The Blue and White’s 11-10 overtime victory at York snapped a string of four consecutive quarterfinal round losses.

On Sunday, Cabrini upset No. 2 Salisbury 16-13, securing its first appearance in the championship round. The win marked the first over the Sea Gulls in the program’s six postseason meetings.

Amherst is making their seventh NCAA Tournament appearance and sixth in a row. The Mammoths scored a 13-11 victory over conference rival Tufts in the team’s first quarterfinal appearance since 2016. Amherst avenged its NESCAC tournament loss to No. 5 Williams, as its 12-8 win secured its place in Sunday’s title game.

How Cabrini Got Here

The Cavaliers rank as one of the nation’s top two way-teams, as the club boasts the nation’s 11th ranked offense and fifth ranked scoring defense. The team also ranks in the nation’s top 25 in 14 NCAA statistical categories, with top 10 rankings in eight categories, including scoring margin, man-up offense, man-down defense, turnovers and ground balls.

The Blue and White rides the strength of a balanced offensive attack that features four players with at least 40 goals and six with at least 40 points. Senior Jordan Krug, the program’s all-time points leader, leads the unit with 108 points on the season. His 73 goals are tied with Damian Sobieski for the program’s single season mark, while his 231 career markers are two shy of short Reimer’s career record.

Sophomore Kyle Tucker and senior Bill Morgan have marked the scoring column 47 and 40 times, respectively, while junior Jakob Klein tops the table with 46 assists, while his 80 points are second on the team.

Senior goaltender Riley White mans the Cabrini pipes with 6.62 goals against average, fourth in Division III. The senior has posted 171 saves on the season and sports a .572 save percentage.

Atlantic East Defensive Player of the Year Tommy DeLuca anchors a stingy defensive unit that caused 12.52 turnovers per game, 19thin the country. The junior’s 2.61 caused turnovers per game rank 23rd in Division III, while seniors Sean Wagner and Nick Vass join junior Kyle Myers with at least 20 caused turnovers on the season.

Sophomore faceoff specialist Luke McCallion sparks the Cabrini attack, as the team owns a .578 win percentage at the X. McCallion has won more than 200 draws on the season with a team-leading 93 ground balls, while freshman Jake Huey sports a .667 win percentage.

How Amherst Got Here

Winners of four in a row and seven of its last eight games, Amherst brings a high powered offensive attack into Saturday’s championship game. The Mammoths score 17.81 goals per game, ranking fifth in Division III. The club also lists among the nation’s leaders in points and assists, while its man-up unit converts at a .508 clip, fourth in the country.

Amherst is led by 2019 Iroquois National Outstanding Player of the Year Evan Wolf. The junior has netted 73 scores and added 42 helpers for 115 total points. The only Division III student-athlete to earn a spot on the prestigious Tewaaraton Watch List, Wolf ranks 12th in the nation in points per game (5.48) and 24th in the country in goals per game (3.48).

The trio of juniors Colin Minicus, Matt Solberg and Jon Coffey, along with Wolf, have combined to score 334 of the team’s 609 points and more than 56% of its goals on the season.

Netminder Gib Versfeld has controlled the Amherst crease in each of the team’s last six games, leadings its NCAA tournament run. The sophomore has allowed just 10 goals per game over a stretch that has include games with 18, 19 and 20 save efforts.

The Mammoth’s defensive effort includes 10 players who have caused at least 10 turnovers on the season. Junior Rod Castro leads the way with 37 forced miscues and 44 ground balls, while sophomore James Crovatto has forces 31 caused turnovers and scored six goals.

Freshman Juan Gonzalez and junior Dylan Finazzo manned the X for the majority of Amherst’s draw this season. The rookie sports a .547 win percentage and leads the club with 88 ground balls, while Finazzo have won .600 of his 185 chances.

Cabrini Last Time Out: No. 6 Cabrini 16, No. 2 Salisbury 13 (5/19/2019, Salisbury, MD)

The Cavaliers secured their first championship appearance with dominant performances in the first and fourth quarters, as Cabrini scored its first postseason win over Salisbury.

Cabrini ran out to a 6-2 first quarter lead before the Sea Gulls rallied in the second. The home team turned the tables in the second period, outscoring the Cavaliers 7-2, taking a 9-8 lead at the half. The game remained tight through the third quarter, as the game went to the fourth tied at 11.

Both teams scored early in the fourth, but with the score tied at 12 with 12 minutes to play, the Cavaliers took over. At the 11:17 mark, junior Tyler Kostack gave Cabrini a lead it would not relinquish. Klein and Krug pushed the scoring run to three, as the Blue and White built a 15-12 cushion with 5:16 on the clock.

In the fourth quarter alone, the Cavaliers outshot Salisbury 10-3 and pressured the Sea Gulls into seven of its 18 turnovers.

Krug paced the Blue and White with a career high seven goals on just eight shots in the win. Kostack, Klein and classmate Mike Gerzabek joined Tucker with two goals each.

Senior Sean Wagner paired four caused turnovers and three ground balls, while junior Robert Cressman and DeLuca caused two each and combined for seven ground balls.

McCallion went 12-30 at the faceoff spot on the day, including four in the decisive fourth quarter, and secured six ground balls. White anchored the Blue and White defensive effort with nine saves, claiming his 42nd career win.

Amherst Last Time Out: No. 7 Amherst 12, No. 5 Williams 8 (5/19/2019, Williamstown, MA)

Amherst avenged the third of its regular season losses with Sunday’s semifinal victory over the Ephs. With its win over No. 3 Tufts in the quarterfinal round, the Mammoths avenged its losses in just five days.

The Mammoths dominated the opening 15 minutes of play, building a 4-0 cushion with 6:19 left in the first quarter. Williams climbed back into the game in the second quarter and outscored Amherst 4-1 in the third to build an 8-7 lead with 15 minutes to play.

Jon Coffey evened the score in the first minute of the final stanza and the Mammoths never looked back, scoring five fourth quarter goals on just 11 shots to put the game away.

Colin Minicus led the Mammoths with three goals and two helpers, while Matt Solberg joined Coffey with two goals in the win. Luke Mallette caused three turnovers, with Jimmy McAfee and Dylan Finazzo combining for 13 ground balls. Gib Versfeld recorded eight saves in the victory.

The No. 1 overall seeded Penn State Nittany Lions have cruised into the Final Four. They defeated Loyola (Md.) 21-14 in the quarterfinals after beating UMBC 25-10 in the first round. Penn State has lost just one game all season and should be the favorites to take home the title.

In one of the best games of the tournament, Yale narrowly edged University of Pennsylvania 19-18 in the quarterfinal for the opportunity to face Penn State in the semifinals. Yale defeated Georgetown in their opening game of the tournament.

In a controversy game-tying goal with just seconds remaining, Virginia edged out Maryland 13-12 in overtime for a spot in the semifinals. They cruised by Robert Morris, 19-10, in their first-round matchup.

The third one-goal victory of the quarterfinals belonged to Duke, who defeated Notre Dame 14-13 in the quarterfinals. The Blue Devils have been tested throughout the tournament, as they just slid by Richmond, 12-11, in their opening matchup.

Gavrilenko makes history, Pinsk overtakes U18, the “lions” and “lynxes” are moping.Extraliga 2020/21 regularity – almost all

Interesting facts, records and goals – in the traditional Hockey.by review.

Extraliga “A”

Gomel – Dynamo-Molodechno – 1: 3

The Lynx suffered their sixth defeat in seven games, but that doesn’t mean anything. Everything will start again soon, with a score of 0: 0. And if you manage to at least reach the first semifinal since 2017, then this ending will be forgotten.

Dynamo is approaching the pause before the playoffs in a good mood. Once again, the youth of the Molodechens showed themselves excellently. The 30th point of the season was scored by Alexander Suvorov, who assisted Pavel Kopytin in the first goal of Andrei Grishchenko.

But Suvorov’s serious achievements overshadowed the equally cool performance of 17-year-old defender Dmitry Kuzmin. The 2021 NHL Draft nominee not only made two assists on Monday, but also broke the extraliga scoring record for defenders his age with 12 points (3 goals, 9 assists) in 45 appearances.Earlier, Dmitry Deryabin was the best defensive player among hockey players under 18 years old, who scored 11 (1 + 10) points in 19 matches of the 2016/17 championship as part of the youth team.

The safety puck in the match was scored by 18-year-old striker Yegor Klavdiev. From the transfer of the same Kuzmin.

We also note that Alexander Korenov became the fourth hockey player after Mikhail Stefanovich, Andrey Feklistov and Nikita Remezov, who reached 20 goals in the regular season.In addition, now Alexander is the tenth player of Gomel to conquer this peak. And of these, only the second is local (the first is Evgeny Solomonov).

Metallurg – Neman – 3: 1

By the way, about Solomonov. An experienced Wolves forward gave a powerful performance, which made one large Metallurg fan sit in the stands with an open mouth, and the local girls – to rejoice.

Evgeniy scored two great goals, one of them in the minority, and brought the number of goals in the championships of Belarus to 190.In the elite, only 10 hockey players scored more than Solomonov, of which four are active – Zhidkikh (270), Andrushchenko (263), Materukhin (237), Slysh (199). The age of Eugene (in May he will only turn 31) allows us to hope that the forward will still push some of these legends.

Also, the first goal after moving to Zhlobin was scored by Ilya Kazyanin. In the previous four matches, the newcomer of the “wolves” was not marked with effective points, but now here is the winning puck.

Lokomotiv – Mogilev – 2: 0

The head coach of the hosts Igor Zhilinsky called this match the worst of the season for his team.Probably, he was very upset that Ilya Tsulygin failed to score a lacrosse goal. But we ask the Loko helmsman not to worry, after all, lacrosse assists are even rarer.

Pavel Kurdyukov worked very well on a penny (we note at least some positive for Igor Zhilinsky).

After all the problems of the Orsha team, finishing the regular season in seventh place is not a bad result. Back in December, the “railroad workers” closed the table, and in the end they brought 23 points to “Mogilev” and lagged behind “Neman” by 15 points.Therefore, local fans still have reason for restrained optimism.

What can not be said about the situation in which the “lions” are. Rylkov’s men have lost 16 of their last 17 matches and ended the smooth championship with seven straight defeats. One victory in 2021 before the two-legged confrontation with Chemist screams that 26 and 28 February will be difficult for the Lions.

Extraliga “B”

Chemist – Brest – 4: 0

Victor Gavrilenko made history in the last match of the regular season.He has already completed his fifth hat-trick in his career, once again updating the record of Novopolotsk citizens.

Vitaly Valui, Andrei Gusov, Alexei Krutikov, Artur Lachauniek, Artem Mentyuk, Dmitry Rudak, Alexei Strakhov, Denis Tydnyuk – all these hockey players have thrown 3+ goals only twice in a Belarusian championship match in the form of oilmen. Igor Leonenko has three such fights. Gavrilenko broke away from everyone. Here and before the league record, which is shared by Gennady Savilov and Alexander Materukhin (7 each), not far.

True, only one of these hat-tricks Viktor scored not in the “B” extraleague, and even that one against Mogilev in 2017. But now the residents of Novopolotsk have a real chance to return to the elite, and Gavrilenko will have the opportunity to prove to everyone that he is capable of such feats in the strongest division.

Both teams were allowed to play all the goalkeepers declared for the match. Only Shpilev and Vashkevich didn’t concede, while Bronnikov and Goryachevskikh got two goals each.

Despite the absence of goals scored, Brest forward Dmitry Samsonov stayed at the top of the B-league extraleague scorer list. 37 (18 + 19) points in 38 matches – the final indicators of the most productive hockey player in the division.

Pinsk hawks – Belarus U18 – 4: 3

Poleshuki still took the fifth place out of the hands of the junior team. The puck of Vladimir Rovba, scored in the 52nd minute, became decisive in this fascinating match.Cool solo pass, helped by the fall of U18 defender Nikita Zhikharev.

Artem Logunov did not use an excellent chance to score the second goal of the season – he hit the post when the opponent’s goal was empty. The Hawks forward will spend the whole summer wondering what is going wrong. This season, he scored only once in 35 matches, in the past – 11 in 63, the year before last – 18 in 44. The trend is downward. We, of course, wish him to return to his former performance.

See below for the highlights of the meeting from Pinsk.

Lida – Vitebsk – 3: 2

Lida has once again demonstrated that it is not in vain that it keeps young people in its squad. Again, Yegor Shklyarevsky scored with the scored points, who finished the regular season with 10 (3 + 7) points in 10 meetings.

He gave a cool pass to Pavel Marschenok in the episode with the second goal of the “knights”. The cool interaction of the forwards is striking.

The first point in the seventh match in the Extraliga was scored by 16-year-old “knight” Maxim Yakunin.This is not only another confirmation of the fact that Eduard Valiullin trusts young people, but also an important moment in the history of Lida hockey – for the first time in the main squad of the “knights” a local pupil distinguished himself with a score.

This time, Maxim Lemeshevsky could not leave the guests. But the 18-year-old Vitebsk striker still finishes the reguyarka with the title of the best sniper of the extraleague “B”, which he shares with the aforementioned Dmitry Samsonov. It remains to scare Metalurh Zhlobin a little in the transitional tournament, then it will definitely be possible to think about raising.

All goals from Lida are collected in the following video.

Leaderboards

Almost the final table of Division A, the position of the teams in which can only be changed by Shakhtar’s victory over Yunost in regulation time. Any other outcome will leave everything as it is now.

In Extraliga “B” the regular season is officially over. Moreover, most of the teams have already decided on a place in the table some time ago.Let us note once again that on Monday the Pinsk hawks snatched the fifth line from the hands of the junior team – this was the only intrigue of the last round.

Three stars

Extraliga “A”

Young defender of “Dynamo-Molodechno” Dmitry Kuzmin not only gave two assists, but also finished the meeting with Gomel with a rating of “+2”. He helped in the attack, coped with the duties in defense, and now became the third star of the day.

Igor Zhilinsky , maybe he didn’t like everything in the match against Mogilev, but he hardly has big claims to Alexey Merzlov. The Loko goalkeeper not only saved all 23 shots of the opponent, making the second shutout of the season, but was also recognized as the second star of Monday.

The first star of the tour is Metallurg forward Evgeniy Solomonov . The experienced striker recalled that he has a great shot and scored twice.

Extraliga “B”

Lida defender Denis Malishevsky joined the attack at the right moment.He made Vitebsk goalkeeper Maksim Zhuravsky surrender with a throw from an uncomfortable hand. As a result, this puck was victorious. In his shifts, Denis did not miss, and therefore receives the title of the third star of the evening.

Another author of the winning puck “hawk” Vladimir Rovba took the initiative into his own hands and made the right decision. The 23-year-old striker’s goal put his team in fifth place in the table. In the current situation, more could not be done. Thus the second star of the tour was born.

The first star of Monday in the second division is from Novopolotsk Viktor Gavrilenko . Three goals against Brest speak for themselves.

***

There is only one match left in the regular season. On February 23, we will face an epic battle for the first place in the A-league between Yunost and Shakhtar. The meeting starts at 18:45.

Then there is a short break in the championship until February 26, when the transition tournament starts.See the full schedule and all the results of the extra league here.

News HC “Traktor” – Draft 2010. Pre-election campaign. Foreigners

On the lists of applicants –
490 compatriots and representatives of the “near abroad”, a hundred each from
Europe and NHL. Objectively, the situation with respect to foreigners is as follows: the KHL’s chances for
“Tidbit” is inversely proportional to the distance from the territory where
The “piece” lives and develops.Hence the ratio of our sample: 8 Europeans
for 2 overseas guests.

There are four
conditions under which young North Americans may still end up in Russia: 1)
the most plausible is the NHL lockout; 2) player conflict due to
salaries / unwillingness to play in a particular team; 3) the conflict between the player and the team
because of an unfair (in his opinion) non-inclusion in the main team; four)
crazy salary for a junior that he will never receive in the first three seasons
in the NHL.Formally, there is a fifth option. The Canadian / American still comes to
KHL. But not as a junior, but in the rank of a frayed star who wants to earn extra money
for a dignified old age and the kids for milk.

It’s easier with the Europeans:
prose in the genre of realism triumphs. We are visited (sometimes not for long)
like the Far North: in order to raise money in a year as in two or three, sometimes
diluting it with a standard compliment: “The KHL is an interesting, second strongest league
in a world in which horror is like a desire to try yourself. “Plus, there is a large
a group of really cool players who may be too tough for the NHL
for a variety of objective reasons. Let’s start with them.

1. Sami Vatanen (Finland, 1991)

Pre-Draft Defender
The NHL named Anaheim as their favorite team and Scott Niedermeier as their idol.
Coincidence or not, but it was the “ducks” that he was chosen in the fourth round
(due to the modest dimensions). At the same time, Vatanen surprised with his calmness,
informing that he is not going to experience unnecessary stress about the round / number
and excessive pathos about whether or not I should be drafted in the NHL.

Generally the guy is pretty
resistant to stress, reasonable beyond the year and not afraid to make mistakes.
“All sorts of things happen. Don’t be afraid to be wrong – everyone is wrong. Need to
wake up the next day and move forward. ” At the same time, absolutely
it is unclear when Vatanen is sleeping. During his school years, it often happened that
he went to the rink after training and played there with friends all night. And then
a short respite went to school again. And this could go on for five days
all day long.

His first goal in Finnish
he scored in the extra league in the fifth game, and in total this season he issued 10 goals, including
3 to the playoffs, spending an average of 20 minutes per game. Having scored 30 points in
Regular season, Vatanen set a record for rookie defenders. In the manner of playing he
similar to Lubomir Wisniewski. Comparison with Kimmo Timonen also suggests itself.
So far signed by the Jyväskylä club until 2012. Admire two of its spectacular
(and important!) washers at the 2010 world youth championship against the Czechs, scored
in the third period with the score 1: 3, where Vatanen demonstrates his excellent
skating, understanding of the game and possession of the club.

2. Kalle Jarnkrok (Sweden, 1991)

Junior from a hockey family,
which is not uncommon for Sweden (his father played a defender in the first division
thirty years ago). Kalle is not to say that he is especially popular on the world
level, but at home they talk about him quite a lot and in bright colors. Celebrate it
resemblance to the young Niklas Backstrom, the ability to play anywhere on the court
and carry out any coaching task, be it a majority, a minority, and even,
despite the mediocre physical characteristics, tough game in the body and at the sides.His
the progress this season is called “incredible” by the scouts.

Kalle is different
highly professional approach to their activities. Few of his guys
age with the same thoroughness approaches nutrition, sleep,
preparing outside ice. He significantly improved in physics and grew,
having turned in the past couple of years from a child to a peasant, from a skinny toddler to
hockey player of decent conditions.

Kalle is shy but
stands firmly on his feet and knows well what he wants.Combination of talent and desire
can lift it very high, even if it is not listed among the first stars
in the 2010 North American Draft. His favorite team is Detroit and
role models – Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Backstrom, partner in Brunes (with
which Kalle has a contract until 2012) Andreas Dakkel. Translated from Swedish
his last name means “iron hook” and this is not an empty coincidence: washer
really sticks to his club, like magnetized.

3. Niklas Luzenius (Finland, 1989)

Purposeful guy,
playing in a North American style. At the age of 15, Niklas left for a year as a student.
USA under the exchange program. Gnawing the granite of science, in parallel he improved
hockey skills in the Pennsylvania high school league. The teams there consisted of 10
human, and Lucenius could play as much as he wanted. According to him, this
the trip helped change his hockey mindset. Aggressive center,
able to play on the edge, Lucenius is among the players who progress
slowly but surely.He has improved significantly this season, becoming the third
scorer of “Tappara” both in the championship (46 points against 11 in the 2009 season), so
and into the playoffs.

Niklas doesn’t think big
problem its main disadvantage – skating, which pulls slowness.
“I think quickly and make decisions quickly – at least at the Finnish level.
super league “. In addition, he is very strong in martial arts and does not shy away from
rough work.

Selected by Atlanta under
# 115, Luzenius has a 1 + 1 contract with Tappara, and
back to the US is not torn.This means that one of the KHL clubs has a chance
to strengthen their power component.

4. Radko Gudas (Czech Republic, 1990)

Became one of the best
this year’s Western Hockey League rookies. Combines percussive hits with fights and
reliable play in defense, which is confirmed by the fourth in the league usefulness – “plus
45 “in 65 games for Everett.

Radko – worthy
heir to his father Leo, who was one of the really tough Czechs in
stories.However, the products they currently give out in WHL (7 pucks and 30 gears)
is intriguing as it was practically irrelevant in the Czech Republic.
Maybe this means that Radko reveals himself better in small venues.
North America. He does not have particularly outstanding physical data (183 cm, 85 kg), but the opponents
prefer to change direction rather than bump into it.

Defender resembling
Scott Stevens and who dreams of being like Dion Fanuf, loves chocolate,
swimming and sleeping.“When I first started figure skating,” says
Gladly – I was 2 or 3 years old. Then, at 3 or 4, my father just put me
on the ice for me to play. He decided everything for me. Since then, hockey has simply become
part of my life. The biggest part. I never thought if I wanted to play or
no. Because I always wanted to play. ”

Now Radko expects
the outcome of drafts, and has every reason to be noticed.

5. Nino Niederreiter (Switzerland, 1992)

Forward’s double
the quarterfinals of the 2010 World Youth Championship against the Russian national team brought
Switzerland a ticket to the semi-finals.Hardly Russian fans (and coaches)
forget that. His top notch performances this season have brought him in
a set of 50 goals scored: 36 in the WHL regular season, 8 in the same place, but in the playoffs, and
6 – at the youth championship. He managed to make his debut at an adult level, at
world championship in Germany. Speed, power, technique, rigidity, throw,
excellent puck control, leadership qualities – all this is in
Niederreiter, as well as the opportunity to become a world hockey star.

Although El Niño
considers the NHL to be its main goal, dreaming of becoming the first “long-playing”
Swiss striker in this league, no one knows how his fate will turn out for
by the ocean. The opinion of the junior himself: “I don’t want to wonder if I will play in the NHL
in a year or two. I have to develop step by step. Of course I would like
play the NHL, but you never know what’s going to happen in the next few
years old. It is influenced by the position of your team, injuries … and many different things. “If it does not work out, like all of his predecessors-attackers, where is Nino
will go then?

6. Alexi Laakso (Finland, 1990)

Debut in big hockey
It was surprisingly easy for this small-sized defender. Moreover, he spent
his first season in the Finnish elite league is stronger than his three years in juniors, and
became the second most effective defender in the team! His understanding of the game,
puck control, attacking capabilities meet the highest standards.True, there are also minor mistakes in defense, and the “force presence”
practically not noticeable. But overall it is really useful and
a qualified defender who is able to successfully prove himself in the most
crucial moments.

A twenty year old player
contract with Espoo until 2012. Maybe he will not become a star of the first magnitude,
but in this situation it is just bread for the KHL.

7. Jan Kana (Czech Republic, 1990)

Already very experienced (in
active even a year of appearances in the Quebec league at the age of 17) and smart,
a bit aggressive forward worker.Small, but the size is sometimes it
advantage! Cana was among the best Czechs in the last two youth
world championships. The transition to the adult level is still difficult for him (for
short career at Vitkovice, he spent 12 matches in which he made only one
transfer), but coach Gadamchik considers this a temporary obstacle and his
praises: “He has gained experience and must now gain a firm place in the Czech
extraleague “.

Cana himself does not want to listen
these praises.“We finished one youth championship in sixth place, the second in
seventh. They really wanted to succeed, but they did not succeed. What is there
glory! Thanks to television, all my acquaintances and friends saw that we did not
there were successful performances (although the player had 10 goals and 6 assists in 12
matches). We became the object of jokes, ”says Kana. And meaningfully
adds: “I think this is normal. Who plays hockey knows that
this happens periodically.But I’ll be back. ” Indeed, the failures of early adolescence
often only builds character. And who knows what victories they will turn into
the future.

8. Juonas Donskoy (Finland, 1992)

“He reminds me
Ovechkin, throws from the right hand with the bottom and plays on the left wing, “writes one of
scouts. And Finnish fans notice that his skills are unusual for Finnish
players: Yuonas looks more like a Russian or a Czech on the ice.

With last statement
it’s hard to disagree.The guy’s surname is clearly not Finnish. Immediately born
association with Prince Dmitry Donskoy, who successfully opposed at one time
Mongol-Tatar invasion. So what prevents Yuonas from showing himself in the future?
in Russia, as has already been done by another Finn with a Russian surname – Leo Komarov?

Donskoy is still producing
more modest statistics than the more popular Pulkkinen and Granlund, but has
potential like both of this pair. Rationally using your hard work,
graceful skating, agility and skill, the striker should very soon
turn into a good sniper.He already has 2 debut pucks and assists on his account.
in 18 matches of the Finnish Extraliga.

9. Derek Stepan (USA, 1990)

Center-forward, prospect
The Rangers have had a great year becoming World Youth Champion with the best
statistics in the USA team (5 + 10) and the second (12 + 42) in the American championship
colleges. Derek became one of the “killers” of the Russian national team in the 2009 super series with
the USA team with 8 (1 + 7) points in 4 matches. The head coach of his Wisconsin
team Mike Ives says that “he comes to the rink with ideas about what and how
he wants to do in order to be better, and thanks to this he moves forward. “His
are compared with Kesler, Pavelski, Zeyjak, but the attacking potential is considered
even higher. The most accurate comparison is with Chris Drury, thanks to similar
leadership qualities. Stepan is good in all three zones, almost does not accept
wrong decisions, ideal team player, mature beyond his years
passer, good defensively, but very rarely violates the letter
hockey law. He does not do mind-blowing things, but he achieves
result due to the high IQ of their actions.

Let’s hope that,
thanks to the lockout, we will one day see this hockey player with a Slavic surname in
the ranks of the KHL club.

10. Tyler Seguin (Canada, 1992)

People get bumps
sometimes in strange ways. Take, for example, how Seguin the child learned
punctuality. While attending St Michael’s College in Toronto, he was late for
the first compulsory subject is music. His ninth-grade classmates for this
time chose their instrument on which they had to practice.And Tyler
I didn’t have to choose. He got the clarinet – the last one left. Since
Seguin tries not to be late.

He is not so gifted with
nature like Hall. But the scouts first of all note his bright head. Tyler
a very mature young man for his age, because he always played
an environment where people were older than him. He is grateful to the lacrosse, from which
bruises all over his body, for the development of speed, dexterity and strength of the hands.He is no stranger to starting in life not from the first position. For example, when he
was selected in the OHL draft, he was only ninth, unlike Hall (2) or
Stemkos (1). It took him 16 games to open an account with his pucks.
Progress is progressive, but true, improvements are not in individual components of the game,
but in all at once – these are his priorities in hockey.

Seguin dreams in his
life to meet three people – Scotty Bowman, Wayne Gretzky and Barack
Obama.It will be a long journey, especially regarding the latter – but knowing
Tyler’s consistency in business, you can be sure that one day such
acquaintance will happen.

In equality

“Vityaz” and “Siberia”, occupying the ninth lines in their conferences, interrupted their mini-series of two defeats the day before yesterday, and both were away and outside of regular time.Podol players beat Traktor in overtime, Novosibirsk defeated Dynamo Moscow in a series of shots. Nikolai Zavarukhin returned to the Ushenin brothers, who, together with Evgeny Chesalin, made up the third three. Nikita Shashkov took the place of Chesalin in the second link, and Danil Romantsev came out in the fourth. Mikhail Kravets , without urgent need not shaking up his roster, limited himself to even more modest changes: Vitaly Popov appeared in the fourth link, Alexander Dergachev rose to the second, and Zakhar Bardakov dropped to the third.

The game began on a collision course, and closer to the middle of the first period, the hosts began to take the initiative into their own hands. This resulted in the removal of Ilya Morozov, which took exactly three seconds for the Vityaz striking unit. Kaspars Daugavins won the throw-in, Justin Danforth, who picked up the puck, ferried it (not immediately, but spending about 1.5 seconds to choose the optimal solution) to Mattias Tedenby, and he drove it into the target with a powerful click into contact. Podol residents tried to build on their success, but scored the second goal just before the break.The spectacular combination that misled the defenders of Siberia was completed by Danforth, who sent the puck into an almost empty net.
