Good morning. This will be our final Dialed In of the week as we take a brief break for Thanksgiving. Dialed In will return on Monday. In the meantime, here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:

2. Vancouver got lots of attention with former NHL player Paul Bissonnette “trying out” for the team last weekend, but the Warriors have some new faces to help continue the rebuilding project in 2019-20. Included is the return of U.S. team player Chris O’Dougherty after missing last year with an injury.

Vancouver hosts Calgary on Saturday, one of three games in the NLL this weekend.

3. The Wings announced their NLL roster yesterday, and there will be 28 Americans on opening-day rosters in the league, nearly double from just a few years ago.

In 2016, only 13 Americans played in the NLL.

With the 6 Americans that secured spots on Philadelphia's active roster today, there will be 28 Americans starting the 2019/2020 season.

PH: Isiah Davis-Allen, Trevor Baptiste, Kevin Buchanan, Liam Byrnes, Matt Rambo, Blaze Riorden https://t.co/1N6w8eS8y3
