Registration is open for any new and returning players as the 2022/23 Arena Lacrosse League West Division readies for its sophomore season.

The Arena Lacrosse League (ALL) is an amateur winter indoor development lacrosse league formed in 2017 which has seven teams in Ontario (ALL East) and another four in B.C. (West Division). Last year was the first season for the ALL West.

The West Division teams are the Sea Spray, Grizzlies, Shooting Eagles and Black Fish with the teams set for a 14-game regular season – all of which are played at Langley Events Centre – beginning November 13 and continuing until early April.

There will be a two-day combine held at Langley Events Centre on October 22 and 23 (times to be announced) which is open to any new players to the league or those who attended the combine in 2021 but were not drafted. The cost to attend the combine is $50 and can be paid via e-transfer to 2022westcombine@theall.ca.

The ALL West Draft will be held on October 25 and is open to any player who is at least 18 years of age (as of December 31, 2022). Cost to play is $400 and payment can be made via e-transfer to westplayerfee@theall.ca.

Returning players can register at www.arenalacrosseleague.ca/2022-2023-all-west-player-registration while new players should register at www.arenalacrosseleague.ca/2022-all-west-combine-and-draft-registration.

Eighteen players who suited up in the ALL West last season are currently signed with National Lacrosse League teams. In addition, Grizzlies’ coach Rob Williams has joined the staff of the Las Vegas Desert Dogs as the team’s defensive coordinator.
