Yesterday the lacrosse world was sad to learn the Baltimore Bombers will not participate in the North American Lacrosse League season from here on out and will not participate in the championship. As of right now, there will still be a Boston vs Kentucky championship. Below is the statement from the Bombers organization.
The Baltimore Bombers remain a great opportunity but the economics didn’t work. Should an opportunity arise in the future I hope the team will get another chance under new management and many of us hope this will happen.
The North American Lacrosse League still has the chance to become the premier showcase of American talent along with MLL and I will continue to do anything I can to support this effort. Tony Chase remains the freshest breath of air the lacrosse world has seen since Jake Steinfeld and I expect he will stay the course in the months and years to come.
I appreciate all the support you all have given the NALL and its members and ask you stick with us through the growing pains associated in starting a new league. Though most players and fans don’t realize it the United States needs box lacrosse- it’s the only environment great players can elevate their skill sets.
Today the future of box lacrosse in the US seems unclear. Yet I remain optimistic the roots we have planted will flourish and in good time we will be crowding into rinks to watch the college stars of yesterday become the undisputed stars of tomorrow. So please continue to lend us your support.
