The Best Sport No One Cares About
Things have gone from bad to worse for the Vancouver Warriors.
Lefty Forward Logan Schuss suffered a knee injury Saturday night against Panther City and will see a surgeon this week and will be done for the season.
If the Warriors weren’t the favorite before for the first overall pick. They now just might have the inside track on the first overall pick with the injury to Logan Schuss and the trade of Mitch Jones.

Paul Day does not value first round picks that is clear. Jones will slot in as the number one lefty forward, but now the Philly defense is paper thin and Higgins will need to stand on his head even more.
It will also take awhile for Jones to pick up and understand McComb’s offensive scheme.
Looks like Day just hit the panic button
As for Vancouver they are eyeing the first overall pick in the 2023 NLL Entry Draft.
(Tuesday, January 31, 2023) — The Professional Box Lacrosse Association announced yesterday that all remaining games across the league will be postponed as of January 31, 2023. Season ticket holders will be contacted and will receive a full refund for the duration of the season.
“We made a difficult decision to postpone the remainder of the inaugural season,” said owner Carmen Kesner.
“Our vision is to implement a fast, physical, safe, and exciting experience for our fans and players. We believe we have been able to create this experience, but we feel there are elements we need to improve upon. For that reason, we are halting the season to re-organize the league and team operations.”
Carmen Kesner, CEO
Part of that reorganization comes with the appointment of Brad Bryant, the new Chief Executive Officer of the PBLA.
“I’m excited about what is in store for this league. My goal is to take Mr. Kesner’s concept to the next level and create a sustainable product for years to come that both the players and the fans can be proud of.”
The PBLA recognizes the support of the loyal lacrosse fans and while regretful for this decision, believes that the coming season will prove it to be the right decision.
The PBLA does not finish the season. Saw this one coming from a mile away. It was fun while it lasted.
