The following was a statement released by Doug Luey, MSL Commissioner:
It is with tremendous disappointment that Major Series Lacrosse must postpone the start of the 2022 season. The financial risk brought on by potential litigation is just too great to overcome by both our privately and community operated teams.
We will continue to work towards a resolution to bring our teams, players, officials and in particular our fans back to the floor as soon as the risk is minimized.
Our teams were looking forward to building on last year's extremely successful MSL Classic. This tournament resulted in a broadcast deal that would have shown every MSL game through the 2022 Mann Cup across Canada, in addition to most games being shown via webcast. It also yielded a national sponsorship deal.
In both cases, we are unable to make those announcements until a resolution is made. MSL will not be issuing any further comment on the matter until all stakeholders have come to a satisfactory resolution. We want to thank all that have reached out and offered their support during these difficult times. We can't wait to hit the floor.
