    Doh! No Lacrosse Either this year ?!!!?!

    Fri, October 1, 2004

    NLL season in trouble

    LACROSSE LEAGUE SAYS NO NEW CBA BY TONIGHT AND IT'S ALL OVER

    By MIKE KOREEN, TORONTO SUN

    THE IMPROBABLE success story of the Toronto Rock is on the verge of coming to a nasty end. The National Lacrosse League announced yesterday it will cancel its 2004-05 season if a new collective bargaining agreement with its players is not signed by tonight at midnight.

    PESSIMISTIC

    Realistically, NLL commissioner Jim Jennings said, a cancelled season would be a "death blow," for the 11-team professional indoor box lacrosse league.

    "I'm not optimistic at all," Jennings said last night. "I don't think we are going to have a season."

    Professional Lacrosse Players' Association president Peter Schmitz met with player reps last night and was leaning toward sending two proposals to the league today. One would be a one-year deal, under primarily league terms, while the other would be a multi-year deal, under PLPA terms. The league's final proposal is a six-year deal.

    "Am I concerned? The same way one might be if a terrorist put a gun to your head," Schmitz said. I think (the deadline) is a mistake, but we will continue to negotiate. Our intention is to get a deal done quickly, but we're not going to be held to an Oct. 1 deadline if it's a deal we can't recommend to our membership."

    nobody wants to copy the NFL??? more pie for them.




    For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

    The HSBC Arena use to house the Sabres, Destroyers, Bandits, Blizzards and other smaller teams...

    The Sabres have no season, Destroyers moved to Columbus, and no Bandits season means the arena has lost all 3 of its best teams...
