This year's draft will include six rounds, each featuring 16 picks, with a wide pool of eligible draftees. The event will be hosted by Teddy Jenner and Pat Gregoire, with NLL Commissioner Brett Frood announcing the first-round selections live from the league's studio at DOME Productions in Toronto.
