Tavares, Veltman meet with first place on line
By MIKE KOREEN -- Toronto Sun
Way back in 1992, John Tavares and Jim Veltman joined forces in their introduction to professional lacrosse with the Buffalo Bandits.
It's safe to say neither man predicted they would be leading their respective teams into a first-place battle 13 years later.
Two of the sport's greatest players -- the Bandits' Tavares, 36, and the Toronto Rock's Veltman, who turns 39 this week -- will square off with top spot in the National Lacrosse League's East Division on the line tonight at the Air Canada Centre. In a sport where big men often take charge, two guys under 200 pounds continue to make great things happen.
