With the 2020 MLL season in the rearview mirror, and the Boston Cannons crowned as champion, the Lacrosse All Stars crew put our heads together to pick our All-MLL tournament team and MVPs.
Having votes were the pro lacrosse coverage team of Mark Donahue, Ryder Cochrane, Nick Zoroya, and Ryan Conwell. The criteria was not complex, build out the best team based on the five game “regular season” games, and then chose the Finals MVP. This is not the real MLL awards that are in the process of rolling out, this is just our fun way of showing love to some of the best in the business.
Let us know your thoughts about who we got right and who did we leave off down below.

Honorable Mentions
These players finished extremely high in our voting. High enough that it almost made sense to add an extra spot at their positions. But that’s a flag around here, so they’re standing in the box for now.
Defense: Liam Byrnes – Philadelphia Barrage
LSM: Scott Corcoran – Boston Cannons
SSDM: Charlie Hayes – Denver Outlaws
