How will the partnership between Adrenaline Lacrosse and Major League Lacrosse impact the sport. What changes can players and fans expect from this collaboration. How does this agreement benefit the growth of professional lacrosse.
The Groundbreaking Alliance: Adrenaline Lacrosse and Major League Lacrosse
In a landmark move for professional lacrosse, Adrenaline Lacrosse and Major League Lacrosse (MLL) have forged a partnership that promises to reshape the landscape of the sport. This collaboration, involving Adrenaline’s LXM PRO Tour and its industry-leading Adrenaline Apparel division, marks a significant step towards unity and cooperation in the world of professional lacrosse.
The partnership aims to eliminate conflicts within the outdoor pro lacrosse scene, offering top-level players unprecedented freedom to participate in both leagues. This move is set to create two distinct yet complementary professional lacrosse experiences, featuring the world’s best players and catering to fans across the United States.
LXM PRO Tour: A New Era of Professional Lacrosse
The LXM PRO Tour, operated by Adrenaline Lacrosse, has emerged as an innovative force in professional lacrosse. But what sets it apart from traditional leagues?
- Flexible and dynamic format
- Focus on emerging markets
- Nationwide reach
- Attracts top-tier talent
In 2013, the LXM PRO Tour featured an impressive 12 stops across the country, including locations such as Orange County, San Diego, Chicago, Utah, Sacramento, Dallas, Atlanta, Arizona, Las Vegas, Florida, and Los Angeles. This wide-ranging tour has played a crucial role in expanding the sport’s footprint and bringing professional lacrosse to new audiences.
Major League Lacrosse: The Established Powerhouse
Since its inception in 2001, Major League Lacrosse has been the cornerstone of professional lacrosse in North America. How has MLL contributed to the growth of the sport?
- Pioneered the professional lacrosse league model
- Established a competitive and sustainable structure
- Developed a strong fan base in key markets
- Nurtured talent and elevated the level of play
Currently, MLL boasts eight franchises located in Denver, Ohio, Charlotte, Florida, New York, Chesapeake (Annapolis), Rochester, and Boston. These teams have become pillars of their local lacrosse communities, fostering grassroots development and inspiring the next generation of players.
Reshaping the Professional Lacrosse Calendar
One of the most significant aspects of this partnership is the strategic realignment of the LXM PRO Tour schedule. How will this change benefit players and fans?
Adrenaline will shift the LXM PRO season to occupy the non-MLL months of September through March. This move allows MLL players to participate in the LXM PRO Tour during the off-season, effectively creating a year-round professional lacrosse calendar. The result is a win-win situation for players, who can now compete at the highest level throughout the year, and for fans, who will have access to top-tier lacrosse action across multiple platforms.
Benefits of the New Schedule
- Increased playing opportunities for professional athletes
- Extended exposure for the sport in various markets
- Potential for player development and skill improvement
- Enhanced fan engagement throughout the year
- Greater flexibility for players to manage their careers
Adrenaline Apparel: Outfitting the Future of Lacrosse

Adrenaline will serve as the exclusive provider of hats and shooting shirts for MLL, as well as a supplier of performance team socks. This collaboration will bring Adrenaline’s innovative, lacrosse-specific designs to the forefront of the professional game, infusing the league with a touch of the brand’s signature western flair.
Key Features of Adrenaline Apparel’s MLL Line
- Custom-designed items specifically for lacrosse
- Incorporation of Adrenaline’s unique aesthetic
- High-performance materials for optimal player comfort
- Exclusive designs for MLL teams and events
The partnership between Adrenaline Apparel and MLL extends beyond mere clothing provision. It represents a fusion of style and functionality, bringing a fresh and exciting look to the league while maintaining the highest standards of performance wear.
Player Opportunities and Roster Developments
With the new partnership in place, both leagues are taking steps to ensure player mobility and opportunity. How will this affect player recruitment and team rosters?
MLL has announced that it will re-open its player pool, allowing interested Adrenaline LXM players to register and enter the league. This move creates a pathway for talented athletes from the LXM PRO Tour to showcase their skills in the established MLL framework.
Concurrently, Adrenaline is gearing up to announce the new 2014/2015 LXM PRO Tour stops in the coming months. This announcement will be followed by a player acquisition process and the unveiling of official team rosters, ensuring that both leagues maintain competitive and exciting lineups.
Implications for Players
- Increased exposure to different playing styles and systems
- Opportunities to compete in diverse geographic markets
- Potential for year-round professional play
- Enhanced career flexibility and player autonomy

I can’t think of anything better for the sport than that.”
This sentiment was echoed by Xander Ritz, Co-Founder of LXM, who noted, “The LXM and MLL partnership is a great step forward for professional lacrosse. Connecting the two organizations formally and removing some of the challenges that athletes faced having to choose one place or another will undoubtedly advance the pro game immediately.”

By combining the established structure of MLL with the innovative approach of the LXM PRO Tour, this partnership creates a dynamic ecosystem for professional lacrosse. It allows for the exploration of new markets while maintaining strong footholds in traditional lacrosse hotbeds.
The collaboration also opens up new avenues for player development, as athletes can now gain experience in different competitive environments throughout the year.

In the spirit of unity and cooperation Adrenaline Lacrosse and the MLL have reached a monumental partnership involving Adrenaline’s LXM PRO Tour and its industry leading Adrenaline Apparel. Adrenaline’s LXM PRO Tour is a nimble, alternative professional lacrosse experience courting top players to play nationwide in front of fans in a wide range of emerging markets. The MLL is the original professional lacrosse innovator and industry giant successfully operating a competitive pro league model since 2001.

The MLL currently has 8 franchises, located in Denver, Ohio, Charlotte, Florida, New York, Chesapeake (Annapolis), Rochester and Boston. Although both models vary greatly, both professional lacrosse properties have done much to support and foster the growth of the sport.
This unprecedented partnership is set to take effect during this upcoming season for both the MLL and the Adrenaline LXM PRO Tour and will change the face of professional lacrosse in a substantial way. To the delight of fans of both professional experiences, the partnership serves to eliminate conflict with the outdoor pro lacrosse landscape, allowing top-level players the freedom to play when and where they choose. Adrenaline will be moving the LXM PRO season to occupy the non MLL months of (September-March). While the MLL will be allowing players to participate in the LXM PRO tour during this time frame. The result will be two uniquely amazing professional lacrosse experiences filled with the top players in the world for fans across the country.
Adrenaline CEO Alex Cade explains, “This partnership between Adrenaline Apparel, Adrenaline’s LXM & the MLL is one that truly shows the nature of cooperation that is taking hold within our sport. This positive movement is at the core of everything we stand for at Adrenaline.
After speaking with MLL Commissioner David Gross, it was refreshing to hear firsthand the mutual appreciation and respect for what each professional organization has done for the sport. This agreement between the MLL and Adrenaline LXM is one that is inclusive in nature and provides top- level professional athletes the freedom to play where they want, when they want, and how they want. I can’t think of anything better for the sport than that.”
LXM Co-Founder, Xander Ritz stated, “The LXM and MLL partnership is a great step forward for professional lacrosse. Connecting the two organizations formally and removing some of the challenges that athletes faced having to choose one place or another will undoubtedly advance the pro game immediately. When we started LXM I think we always expected this sort of collaboration to take place and we’re excited to continue pressing forward in partnership with the MLL.”
Adrenaline’s industry leading apparel division will also become an official partner of the MLL by being the exclusive provider of hats and shooting shirts as well as a provider of performance team socks.
This will include outfitting the entire league with apparel items that are designed specifically for lacrosse, and with a little bit of western flair that Adrenaline has become synonymous with.
While discussing the decision process, Alex Cade mentioned, “After talking with David Gross, understanding the common vision we both have for the future of the sport, it was an easy decision to partner with The MLL. Our phenomenal team of art designers gets very excited to do new and interesting things. Relevant, custom, and unique designs are what they do best and I know they are already bouncing around various designs for the MLL items. We have innovative, lacrosse specific apparel items we are excited to get on the guys also.”
MLL will re-open the player pool and Adrenaline LXM players who have interest in being in the MLL can register to enter the league. Adrenaline will be announcing the new 2014/2015 Adrenaline LXM Tour stops in the coming months, followed by a player acquisition process and announcement of the official team rosters.

LXM – Lacrosse All Stars
Kyle Harrison grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, the son of Dr. Miles Harrison, who famously played lacrosse at Morgan State. He first started playing the sport at age 3 and went on to play at Friends School in Baltimore. Harrison also played soccer and basketball at Friends School and won state titles in all three […]

When it was announced that the LXM PRO and the MLL would partner up, and that players from both camps could now play in both leagues, there was a lot of talk of who could “make the jump” to Major League Lacrosse. A range of opinions were offered as analysts tried to decide who could cut the mustard, and guesses ranged from up to 6 players to as many as 20.
Markbuster Videos! Markbuster Videos, long live Matt Russell… The great Matt Russell, goalie for Team STX and formerly at Navy, has decided to call it quits. I watched the broadcast of Matt’s final game on The Lacrosse Network, but honestly, I don’t remember ever hearing about Matt hanging it up. I had the chance to […]
LXM Pros Erik Krum, Shamel Bratton, Matt Russell, and Peter Baum discuss their own upbringings in the sport, including the experience of getting recruited and turning pro, and the apparent differences in the sport of lacrosse when it comes to East Coast versus West Coast.
The Ohio Machine have gotten an LXM infusion. Kyle Harrison was picked first by the Machine in the special Major League Lacrosse waiver wire process opened to include LXM Pro Tour players after the deal announced Feb. 13 between MLL and Adrenaline that allowed LXM players to play MLL and vice versa.
No more of this either or mess, as the LXM and MLL have finally come together to unify professional field lacrosse.
Time to let a player play; if you can cut it, you can take your services to both pro leagues, just the way it should be. Rosie drops his thoughts on the new situation.
Of course the big news last week was that Adrenaline and LXM PRO had reached an agreement with Major League Lacrosse. There was a wide range of reactions to this, though the majority of people seem excited about the potential this deal has for impacting the growth of the game. Greg “Beast” Gurenlian, one of MLL’s best face-off men, had this hilarious comment about the MLL and LXM deal, and the possibility of Kyle Harrison’s return to the MLL.

With the 2013-2014 LXM PRO season having wrapped up a few weeks ago with a final stop in Los Angeles, the 2014 NCAA lacrosse season now underway, STX becoming an official Major League Lacrosse partner, and now Adrenaline and LXM PRO joining forces with the MLL, I can’t help but wonder who the next LXM star will be.
Tom Garvey gave me an older STX Proton+ from his days at Johns Hopkins and he wanted a pocket thrown in there so he could either use the stick while coaching or put it on display. I decided to up the ante a little bit and throw in a second head, which I dyed to resemble the Hopkins head in style, to commemorate his time playing for Maverik United in the LXM PRO.
A few weekends back, I spent the entire day outside of Los Angeles for the final LXM PRO event of the 2013-2014 season. With the event also came the final Adrenaline tournament of the year. But what is it that keeps bringing teams back to ADRLN tournaments? Here’s what players and coaches have to say.
LKM Torg – a manufacturer of paints and paints and varnishes in Moscow
Two-component epoxy paint for concrete floors “EPOXTON”
In the process of repairing our workshop, this paint proved to be excellent, all indicators are normal, hiding power, decorative properties – all a solid five points .
Well, now let’s see how long all this beauty will last. The first impression is positive, as stated, neither petroleum products nor other aggressive solvents take it.
“UNICOM” paint for metal and galvanized roofs
Painted a roof in a warehouse for finished products. Bare metal, even galvanized, cannot cope with the salty wind, and we have 2 meters from the warehouse by the sea, roughly speaking. We hope that with such protection it will last longer. Previously, goods from LKM-Torg have already been used, there are no complaints, so we have no doubt about this paint either.
Primer-enamel on rust 3 in 1 “UNICOM” urethane
In some century they organized an HOA and ventured to repair the yard, otherwise after the Criminal Code we had almost ruins here. With this paint, we managed to turn our ruins into a quite cozy courtyard, and at a minimal cost. For the price this is a great product. They painted, in fact, wherever there are pieces of iron, from entrances to parking lots and a playground.
The result is nice to look at!
Concrete floor paint “DALKID”
I decided to adapt the second floor in the garage for a “men’s lair”, so, in order to increase comfort and beauty, I used this paint. Looks good, no issues. The only thing is that I have a little left, I painted it near the gate, on the street, and there, of course, it doesn’t show itself so well. It copes with street loads more weakly, all the more, there is also a car driving on it. Although, I repeat, for interior work – excellent!
Antiseptic “Active ULTRA” alcohol
We have stocks of this antiseptic in the gym since the pandemic, many visitors continue to use it. Good, in terms of a large container – quite budgetary. But, perhaps, more glycerin can be added to the composition, otherwise it dries the hands with frequent use. Guys are fine, but some ladies complain.
“UNIKOM” primer for concrete
We specialize in apartment renovation, so we are well aware of the entire range of LKM-Torg.
We can subscribe that this is the best product on the Russian market. This primer is proof of that. In apartments it is possible to work both on the walls and on the floors, strength allows, even for painting, even for wallpaper, even for panels, in living rooms and bathrooms. We advise!
“UNICOM” facade paint
From the very beginning, I had no doubts about the UNIKOM facade paint. I decided to give a “second youth” to the country house. A comrade works in a building store, helped with tinting – they hit exactly the right tone so that I wouldn’t rip off everything to the bare tree. Cool result, it’s a pity you can’t attach photos here so as not to seem unfounded. 100% Satisfied! I didn’t sand anything especially, I just quickly covered it with a primer – and the paint lay perfectly!
Heat-resistant paint “UNICOM”
Our heating networks sometimes act weird, they literally start pouring boiling water into the mains. Not so long ago, the basement was repaired, so they decided “with a margin”, to cover the pipes with UNIKOM heat-resistant paint.
200 degrees are declared here, it is unlikely to come to this, but boiling water boils regularly. We hope it will last a long time, will not crack or peel off. There are no complaints about the decorative properties, a pleasant gloss, deep color.
Hammer enamel “UNICOM”
Successfully carried out a small repair in the workshop. The work is minimal: refresh the metal structures, polish the workbenches and so on. We used only UNIKOM primer-enamel. Good general purpose paint. It was possible, probably, to save money, to look for some specialized compositions for a number of works, but the cost estimate, in any case, turned out to be quite moderate!
Primer-enamel on rust 3 in 1 “DACRIL”
Already according to the classics, during the next cosmetic repair, LKM-Torg products were used. This time – 3 in 1 DACRIL primer-enamel on rust. Painted garage doors. Our masters tinted, praised, clearly hit the corporate colors. In some places the gate was already beaten with rust, but the paint on top lay well, blocked everything.
In general, LKM-Torg, as always, is on top! A small wish – if only 10 kilograms of containers would be included in the catalog!
