~ Additions to the "Box Lacrosse (Goalie)" page? ~

I greatly appreciate everyone who participated in the making of the Box Lacrosse Goalie page. It was much needed, as the sport is growing quite rapidly

However, I would like to see more recent pictures of goaltenders, at a higher level, and sporting more modern gear. There are too many pictures that are nice enough, yet show the goaltender sporting small/unconventional/outdated gear; and I am afraid that is not as appealing to readers.

I would love for a recent photo of a goaltender to be added, to give the readers a fresher and more accurate view of the position. A couple pictures of any current box goaltender (preferably Matt Vinc, Evan Kirk, Tyler Carlson, etc.) playing in a recent NLL game, properly dressed in modern and appropriate gear, would be absolutely perfect.

Also, on a lesser note, a small section on the goalie gloves would be nice. A picture of the new Under Armour goalie gloves that are given to each NLL goaltender would work perfectly.

Simply search up "NLL goaltenders" (or any of the names I listed two lines above) on Google Images, and you will find more than enough options to add.

If these two things are accomplished, I confidently believe that more readers will be attracted to the page, and will return more than one time for reference in the future.

Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words. A great picture is worth a million.

Any takers? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.171.219.233 (talk) 03:19, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

Good point the images that are currently on the Goaltender (box lacrosse) page are quite outdated and don't include any notable goalies. For example the wooden sticks and youth players. I will try to get some images soon for the page and ask other box lacrosse fans if they can as well.

Happy Editing! Da Drewster (talk) 06:18, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

That is ridiculous. Yes, it could use a pic of an NLL goalie... but wooden sticks are still a high percentage of what goalies use in the OLA (therefore still modern).... whether it is MSL, Sr. B, Jr. A, B, or C... and the OLA is the hotbed of the sport. Most of the goalies are from last year and are wearing legally-sized Boddam, which is the benchmark for the sport. Also, older equipment has a place on the article as a reference point for the advancement of the sport's technology. I would also like to point out the "Stick and Gloves" section to the anon, we could add a pic of a glove there... want to provide a "free" image of one? Also, does anyone have a "free-use" image of an NLL goalie? DMighton (talk) 09:31, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Good point DMighton wooden sticks are still quite popular in box lacrosse leagues today. I was thinking maybe non-wooden sticks would be more appealing to the viewers but now that I think about it that isn't very logical. Sorry for the inconvenience. Da Drewster (talk) 19:32, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

I have added Tye Belanger of the Colorado Mammoth as the lead image of the article. It was taken Summer of 2014, in the OLA's Senior B League. Most NLL players usually spend their summers in the OLA or BC Sr. Leagues. He is wearing regulation gear. I would like to add that there is only one image of youth lacrosse in the article. There is one of Senior, 2 of Junior B, one youth photo (Midget A), and one just generic goalie photo... the first four of these are all in modern and legal gear.

I can get some pics of a Warrior Wall stick to go with the wooden one... maybe even some gloves... can't guarantee what brand they are though, only NLL goalies get free gear from sponsors usually. DMighton (talk) 19:44, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

If you can you get an image of gloves you should definitely do that. Also nice shot of Tye Belanger great picture. Da Drewster (talk) 22:11, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

I'll ask one of the Windsor Clippers goalies if they'll let me shoot their gloves. Thanks, that is Tye with the Sarnia Beavers... the team has relocated to Wallaceburg (Thrashers)... I am hoping to get some shots of him with them this weekend... it is about a 90 minute drive for me. DMighton (talk) 04:15, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

That would be nice dude. Also checked out your Facebook page awesome pictures! You should do that for a living. Da Drewster (talk) 20:05, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks... I am working at learning the craft... it is a fun hobby at this point... but I am improving every game. DMighton (talk) 21:41, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

I would love to do that as a hobby but I just don't have the time to do it. Da Drewster (talk) 08:23, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Curtis Manning (lacrosse)

Hey everyone, since I thought it was interesting that Curtis Manning was a doctor, I created the article with the intent of nominating it for WP:DYK. Here is the nomination. -- JamesTeterenko (talk) 20:15, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Error in 2010 Stealth playoffs

Hello,

The 2010 Washington Stealth season article lists all of the team's playoff games (3 of them) as taking place at Comcast Arena in Everett, the team's normal home venue at that time. However, due to a scheduling conflict, the Stealth played that game at KeyArena (in Seattle), so that detail is incorrect.

The current template for an NLL season does not allow this to be changed, as it inserts Comcast Arena for any game where the Stealth were the home team (as it would insert, eg, the Saddledome for any Calgary Roughnecks home game). I am unsure of the best way to handle this, and am hoping someone could make the necessary modification. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.254.235.255 (talk) 20:36, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
