There are some great American players - but it is always a wild card if they will play the NLL season or not. Casey Powell played a handful of games for the Mammoth this year, and Paul Rabil didn't play at all.

Some guys struggle to transition from field to box or vice versa.

So lots of factors at play.

It wasn't a negative post just an observation. I really enjoyed the game, and will try to take in more next year. I am hoping the NLL continues to grow and do well.

If nothing else it continued and further fostered my son's love affair with the sport. Which I am happy about.
