Close
After a disappointing 1-5 start and a mediocre 6-10 season, the LumberJax caught fire in the playoffs, defeating both San Jose and Calgary in their own buildings to advance to their first ever NLL Championship game in only their third season. The Jax put up a good fight, but the Buffalo Bandits defeated the Jax 14–13 to win the Champion's Cup.[1]
