Much like the other major sports trying to force their way through the whole Covid thing, so too are the field lacrosse leagues. To me the big difference is that they are both doing the whole "season" in a tournament style with a very shortened regular season and then single

A couple of weeks ago I'm grinding away at work and get an email. It's from my work's social committee and we're invited to go to the Toronto zoo for the day with your family. And lunch is provided. Sweet. The following is my attempt to document my day. Early forecasts for
