Basically, unless a labor deal is reached, the '08 season will be canceled.

Hope it'll work OK.

Dead for now.

Three years ago, this happened, and an agreement was made the next day. This time, um...

If this season is lost, I believe you plant half the teams in the ground and stick a fork in them, AT MINIMUM. This league can't afford to look any more unstable than it already does relative to the majors it espouses to keep up with. This might be it, for all we know.

I don't think a deal will be reached tomorrow. The season dead for 2008. I read on the NLL boards that the arena dates were going to be rescinded to the arenas tomorrow. As well, the Arizona Sting have put out a press release that doesn't specifically say it but gives the tone they have folded.

That would be sad, but interesting. Anyone have a copy?? http://arizonasting.com/ If this is it, IT seems pretty forward looking to me with not much to worry about.

The '08 season may be back on again if recent reports are any indication. We should know by the weekend.

Tens of thousands of Rush fans will, and Roughnecks, and Rock, and Mammoth, etc.

On this board, well, now that this is a major board for GBL in Alberta, I think more will be paying attention on here if that is what you meant. I forget, does the GBL site lead here, cause I came by way of nlfan's forum. I hope so, how else will people know to come here if they never visited nlfans site?
