Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. The biggest news to come out of the Thanksgiving break was the NLL and the PLPA coming to an agreement to get the 2018-19 season back on track. The season, which had the first two weeks cancelled, will start on Dec. 15, which had the players pumped.
Huge thank you to the @PLPAlax for all they did. Bigger thanks to all the @NLL fans for sticking with us through the tough times . Now let’s go BANDITLAND!!!!! @NLLBandits
