A new indoor (box) lacrosse league called the North American Lacrosse League is set to start up in 2012, and they're hoping to have eight teams. The league is hoping to avoid competition with the larger and more established National Lacrosse League (which was founded in 1987) by playing in smaller arenas in markets without NLL teams. The NALL hopes to develop players that will one day play in the NLL. Anyway, the league has already announced two teams: Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Pennsylvania to play at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza (capacity 8,350) Charlotte, North Carolina to play at Bojangles' Coliseum (capacity 9,605) So they're putting a team where Joe lives. Other markets being considered: Richmond, Virginia Albany, New York New York, New York Lexington, Kentucky Orlando, Florida Hershey, Pennsylvania I know some of you guys live near those places, so if a team ends up near you I highly recommend checking out a few games. It's an exciting sport with a lot of scoring, fighting, no out of bounds (and thus a faster pace), etc. |

Hershey, Pennsylvania and Cincinnati, Ohio are both getting teams. It looks like they're going to cap the league at five teams for year one. Hopefully they do well. |

Not really related to the NALL, but it's indoor lacrosse and I'm too lazy for another thread. The Rochester Knighthawks of the National Lacrosse League gooch smooch signed a two year lease to stay in Rochester. The Knighthawks gooch smooch been in their current NLL market since the 1995 season, making them the third oldest franchise in the league (behind Philadelphia, 1987 and Buffalo, 1991). The team staying bodes well for the league, and is one of a few recent signs that the NLL is overcoming some of its recent struggles. The Calgary Flames and Buffalo Sabres owners both made multimillion dollar investments in the league this offseason when they bought the Roughnecks and Bandits respectively (the Bandits were always owned by the Sabres, but the new owner decided to keep them rather than shutting them down when he bought the team) and the Toronto Rock's owner is building a multimillion dollar practice/minor league/HQ facility for the team. |

Jacksonville's team will be called the Jacksonville Bullies:![]() Logo isn't bad. Should have gone with "Bulldogs" instead of "Bullies", though. The Charlotte team is still in the midst of a "name the team" fan contest, which was disrupted a bit by the hurricane (the storm knocked out power in a lot of places which fucked up the online voting). And we know the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton team will be the Shamrox. So that just leaves Cincinnati and Hershey, Pennsylvania. |

The two finalists for the Charlotte team name are the Charlotte Copperheads and the Charlotte Torque. I like Copperheads better, and it is currently leading the vote 55-45%. The Hershey and Cincinnati teams should be named by the end of next week. Edited by famicommander, Thursday Sep 1 2011, 11:37 AM.
