Opening weekend in the NLL has arrived. Training camp is wrapped, rosters are (for the most part) set, and it’s time to start playing for real. Opening weekend in every sport is a joy. Everyone has the same record, everyone is alive for the title, everyone has a reason to believe this is the year. There are just four games on the schedule this weekend, but those games include an NLL debut of a top overall pick, a banner raising night, and plenty more. All game lines are court

It's now the lacrosse dead zone: the PLL playoffs (and the following New York Atlas celebration) concluded over a month ago, college lacrosse’s only news comes in the form of fall ball highlight packages and scheduling announcements, and the NLL's countdown until training camp. However, lax chatter lives on with offseason player and team breakdowns. The PLL just produced a 25-year-old MVP in Atlas attackman Connor Shellenberger, so why not detail a list of potential next-up p
