Arena Lacrosse League East Game Recaps - Week Five

The Arena Lacrosse League East continued their 2025-2026 season with four big match-ups in week five. 

Friday Night at the Memorial Arena in Brampton, Ontario 

Peterborough Timbermen 8 Brampton Express 17

A tight first quarter saw the teams tied for a majority of the frame until Gage Board gave the Express the lead potting a shorthanded goal.  Four more goals from Brampton to start the second had them up 7-2 midway through the frame.  The Timbermen fought back with a pair of goals, but late goals from Pent Eistrat and Jake McNabb had Brampton up 9-4 at the half.

The third quarter was more like the first quarter.   Both defenses stood out, keeping each other to a pair of tallies.  However, after Peterborough brought the game within three to start the fourth, Brampton took over.  Six unanswered goals, led by James Whiteford, gave the Express the 17-8 victory.  

Of note, Aaron Woods, Peterborough's leading scorer, was not in the lineup for this game.

Curtis Ward (2g,5a), Jake McNabb (4g,3a), and Zach Sunderland (2g,5a) led the Express, with Pent Eistrat (1g,5a) as the facilitator. 

Peterborough got production from Cam Milligan (2g,3a), Austin Lamoureux (1g,3a), Zach Thompson (1g,3a), Nolan Downey (2g,1a), Angus Rawding (1g,1a), and Will White (1g,1a).

The Three Stars:

1. Mateo Beaudin (Brampton)
2. Pent Eistrat (Brampton)
3. Riley Morgan (Peterborough)


Saturday at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre in Oakville, Ontario:

Paris RiverWolves 8 Toronto Monarchs 18

The Monarchs set the tone early getting out to a 2-0 lead just 1:11 into the game.  Toronto kept pressing led by four first half goals from Tanner Buck.  The Monarchs took a 9-2 lead to the half.

Toronto continued to dictate the pace of the game in the second half with another nine goals.  The Monarchs showed a balanced offense getting production from eight separate scorers.  Paris never had a chance to gain any momentum until the last few minutes of the game.  Led by two from Andy Campbell, the RiverWolves finally put together a three goal run at the end of the game.  Toronto wins 18-8.

Tanner Buck (6g,0a) led the way for the Monarchs, with support from Patrick Thomson (3g,0a), and Cody Innes (2g,3a).  Isiah Moran-Weekes (1g,5a), Liam Aston (1g,4a), and Ty Jesso (1g,4a) were the facilitators.

Sunday at the Iroquois Lacrosse Arena in Haggersville, Ontario:

Early Game

Oshawa Outlaws 11  Ohsweken Bears 12

After a scoreless first quarter, the teams got their offenses on track scoring a combined eleven goals in the second.  Led by Xander De La Ronde with a pair, Ohsweken would take a one goal lead to halftime. 

Ohsweken got off to a good start in the third with a three goal run to take a 9-5 lead late in the third quarter.   Oshawa's newest addition, Cole Hanrahan, made a big splash in the game scoring a hat-trick in the fourth quarter, to bring the Outlaws within one.  Oshawa kept pressing late, but Chase Martin was exceptional in the Bears net.  Ohsweken hangs on for a 12-11 victory. 

The Three Stars:

1. Chase Martin (Ohsweken)
2. Xander De La Ronde (Ohsweken)
3. Cole Hanrahan (Oshawa)

Late Game 

Whitby Steelhawks 13  Six Nations Snipers 9

It looked like the Six Nations Snipers were going to run away with the game getting out to a 4-0 lead in the first quarter.   However, a strong second quarter from Whitby had this just a two goal lead at the half.

Jerry Staats increased the Snipers lead early in the third quarter, but the Steelhawks would get on track with three unanswered goals to tie the game midway through the third quarter.   While Jordan Goddard would give Six Nations another lead, a four goal run by Whitby had them firmly in front midway into the fourth.   The Snipers kept pressing with Chayton King scoring, but Quinn Hyland and Parker Pipher replied for Whitby.  King would score once more, but Ben Kromer would put an exclamation point on the game with a shorthanded marker for the Steelhawks late in the fourth.  The Steelhawks win 14-10.

Parker Pipher (4g,3a), and Jonah Kerr (2g,1a) led the way for Whitby, who got production from ten different scorers on the day.

Six Nations got production from Jordan Goddard (4g,2a), Chayton King (3g,2a), Wes Whitlow (1g,3a), Mitch Zulian (1g,0a), and Jerry Staats (1g,0a).
