Maryland native and former Johns Hopkins lacrosse icon Paul Rabil has begun the strenuous journey of growing the Premier Lacrosse League, which recently began play in early June.
As of now, the league consists of six non-city-based teams: the Archers, Atlas, Chaos, Chrome, Redwoods and Whipsnakes. The teams are set to tour across the United States until the league championship game in late September. They'll play at Johns Hopkins' Homewood Field June 22-23.
"The impetus behind creating the PLL was to create an environment for professional lacrosse players who are the best athletes in the world at our game," Rabil said on Glenn Clark Radio June 19, "who excelled at the college level first, who we all grew to love and support, and didn't have a destination after college."
