Playoff Preview: Who Can Tame the Whipsnakes?
Can the Whipsnakes win their third title in four years? At first glance, the answer seems to be yes.

Is the Transition Role Being Implemented in Field Lacrosse?
For indoor lacrosse, the transition position is a staple. With the condensed field size and on the fly substitutions, moving from defense to offense happens in seconds. Zach Currier, Challen Rogers, and Jordan MacIntosh are a few names who have dominated in this role in the NLL. As the PLL’s fourth season is beginning to […]
PLL Assists: Changing the Narrative of Lacrosse
Paul and Mike Rabil had a vision to change the landscape of professional lacrosse in 2018.

The Whipsnakes are the Standard of Excellence
The Whipsnakes have been the most consistent team in the PLL for four years now. They won the first two championships, have played in all three championship games, and had the league’s first two MVPs.

PLL Salt Lake City: A Quint Kessenich Poem
The PLL is progress and innovation. It’s beauty and joy, fire and fury. It’s about character, conflict and chemistry. I was lucky enough to be in Salt Lake City covering the PLL games last weekend.

Ranking the PLL Throwback Logos
To go along with the PLL throwback jerseys unveiled last weekend, the league also dropped some old school logos to go along with the throwback weekend. The irony here being that the PLL has only been around since 2018 so there isn’t much history to go off of when unveiling throwback logos. In order to […]
The Return of Jack Kelly for the Redwoods
The goalie position in the PLL is undoubtedly one of the most competitive positions and the hardest position on the field. Even more so, it is rare to see a switch in personnel during the season after a starting goaltender is named. However, this season Jack Kelly has been the man to step up to the […]
Ranking the 2022 PLL Throwback Jerseys
Fans have asked for one thing and one thing only from the PLL since the league was announced in 2018. “Can we please have numbers on the front of the jerseys?” Paul Rabil and his PLL executive committee continued to turn a blind eye to the fans request for nearly four years, that was until […]

Atlas: 2022 PLL Video Game Ratings
It has been 1,571 days days since the release of the last true lacrosse video game (Casey Powell Lacrosse 18).
