2. What’s the deal (Jerry Seinfeld voice) with the Professional Box Lacrosse Association?
Lacrosse All Stars posted a nice primer on the nascent league that will provide competitive and developmental opportunities for pros — including many Americans — who have not cracked National Lacrosse League rosters.
Names you’ll recognize include Marcus Holman, Dylan Maltz, Ryan Drenner, Max Wayne, Bradley Voigt, Cody Radziewicz, Adam Osika, Jake Pulver, Joel Tinney, Dylan Rice, Tom Palasek, Eddie Bouhall, Alex Trippi, Tommy Kelly and Dylan Donahue.
There are also some creative rule tweaks, like having the option of a penalty served or a penalty shot and subbing through the offensive end of the bench.
3. Tewaaraton Award winner and U.S. training team attackman Logan Wisnauskas is a finalist for the AAU James E. Sullivan Award as the most outstanding athlete in the United States for 2022, Maryland announced Thursday.
