Just how good was the 2012 team? Since the program joined the national governing body that is known today as the MCLA (just over 10 years now) a member of the 2012 team leads every all-time team statistical category. Kevin Canavan is now the all time leader in Goals and PPG, Charles Ogalin is now the all-time leader in Assists and Points.

~~BeanShot~~
The Boston Cannons have released a press release outlining info related to the BeanShot. This will be a one day tournament featuring UConn, UNH, BU and Northeastern starting at 2pm on June 9th. The tournament will have two one hour semi-final games and then a championship game preceding a Boston Cannons MLL game. Mike Landry has shown interest in possibly doing an alumni tailgate for this event so stay tuned and feel free to reach out to him if you have any ideas.
