LAXnetwork is the network for all things lacrosse in Canada. Whether it be Jr. B, Jr. A, Major, or the NLL, this is the place where you can get scores, stories, videos and more. The hope is for this to be the community for lacrosse north of the border.

Roughnecks up for sale
It looks like the Calgary Roughnecks are for sale.
Roughnecks owner Brad Banister announced that he's searching for a buyer for the NLL team Wednesday.
Banister will be involved for the upcoming season before, in his own words, it's "time to get a real job and time to go back to making some money again."
Although the Roughnecks' lease at the Saddledome expires at the end of this year, Banister wants to find a local buyer for the franchise. He's already contacted the Calgary Flames to let them know the two-time NLL champs are on the market.
"It's important, obviously, to the city that we keep this team in the city and that's the No. 1 focus," Banister said. "Of course it's an asset that we have to protect, as well, but realistically it's time for somebody to take it to the next level and I think there's some people out here that can probably do that."
