It appears that there s another new lacrosse league on the horizon.
The league seems to have arisen after the OLA rejected a bid by the OJALL to extend its age range to include 22-year-olds at a vote late last year. The TLL plans to include players aged 18 to 22 and play a 20-game schedule with its championship concluding in August, before players attending college in the United States have to return to school.
Similar to the Canadian Lacrosse League, which is expected to commence play with 16-20-year-olds in 2022 and which is directly involved with running International Indoor Junior Lacrosse s World Junior Lacrosse Championship, the TLL will play by National Lacrosse League rules, including having four 15-minute quarters instead of three 20-minute periods and banning the large and/or wooden sticks used by goalies in most of existing Canadian summer lacrosse.
