The 2008 National Lacrosse Season is Back!
The previous three-year collective bargaining agreement had expired in July. As of last week, no agreement between the league and the association could be reached before the October 15 deadline so the governors of the 14 teams decided to cancel the season. However, negotiations began once again and the Professional Lacrosse Players' Association accepted the new National Lacrosse League proposal Wednesday October 24, 2007 and the board of governors unanimously approved it.
The new agreement will last for seven years so it has the players playing through the 2014 season, but either side will have the option to opt out after five seasons. The 2007 season was originally supposed to begin on December 27th; however, a new schedule will be released this week. Teams will still start practice in November.
