Premier Lacrosse League announces Championship Series rosters

With championship series season almost upon us, the Premier Lacrosse League’s seven teams have announced their rosters for the 2020 PLL Championship Series. Each team will be carrying 22 players to “PLL Island” with three “restricted” players listed on the roster, but not travelling with the team.

Paul Rabil dropped a State of the League yesterday announcing in depth health and safety protocols that the league will follow as they attempt to keep players safe during the tournament. The tournament is set to begin July 25 in Utah. Betting odds were recently released by Williams Hill, listing the Whipsnakes as the favorite to repeat later this month.
