Colorado Mammoth Advances to NLL Championship

Colorado Mammoth's Lacrosse team advances to the NLL's championship game for the first time in the team’s four-year history. Mammoth will compete for the Champion’s Cup trophy against the Buffalo Bandits on May 13 at 5 p.m. CST at HSBC Arena in Buffalo, N.Y. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN2.

“This is an absolute thrill for everyone associated with the team,” Colorado Mammoth general manager Steve Govett said. “This arena was packed with emotion, from the guys on the floor to every single fan and we’re proud to move on to the championship.”

“It’s a terrific feeling to make the championship round and we’re all looking forward to playing one more great game this season,” Mammoth head coach Gary Gait said. Gait has coached the Mammoth to the NLL championship game for the first time since the team moved to Colorado four seasons ago, and in his first season as coach, following an illustrious 15-season playing career.
