Understanding the LXM PRO Tour and MLL: A Comparison
To fully appreciate the significance of this partnership, it’s essential to understand the unique characteristics of both the LXM PRO Tour and the MLL.
LXM PRO Tour
The LXM PRO Tour, operated by Adrenaline Lacrosse, is a dynamic and flexible professional lacrosse experience. It focuses on bringing top-tier players to a wide range of emerging markets across the United States. In 2013, the tour featured 12 stops in various locations, including Orange County, San Diego, Chicago, Utah, Sacramento, Dallas, Atlanta, Arizona, Las Vegas, Florida, and Los Angeles.
Major League Lacrosse (MLL)
The MLL, established in 2001, operates on a more traditional league model. It currently consists of eight franchises located in major cities across the United States, including Denver, Ohio, Charlotte, Florida, New York, Chesapeake (Annapolis), Rochester, and Boston.
Despite their differences, both organizations have played crucial roles in supporting and fostering the growth of professional lacrosse. This new partnership aims to capitalize on their respective strengths to create a more comprehensive and exciting lacrosse experience for fans and players alike.
Eliminating Conflicts: A Win for Players and Fans
One of the most significant outcomes of this partnership is the elimination of conflicts within the outdoor professional lacrosse landscape. This change offers top-level players the freedom to participate in both the MLL and the LXM PRO Tour, providing them with more opportunities to showcase their skills and compete at the highest level.
How will the partnership affect the playing schedules?
To accommodate this new arrangement, Adrenaline will be adjusting the LXM PRO season to occupy the non-MLL months of September through March. Concurrently, the MLL will allow its players to participate in the LXM PRO Tour during this timeframe. This scheduling adjustment ensures that players can engage in both leagues without conflict, maximizing their professional opportunities.
The result of this collaboration is the creation of two unique and exciting professional lacrosse experiences, both featuring the world’s top players, available to fans across the country throughout the year.

The partnership between Adrenaline Apparel and the MLL is expected to bring a fresh and innovative approach to lacrosse apparel.

Player Opportunities and Roster Changes
The partnership between Adrenaline Lacrosse and the MLL opens up new opportunities for players in both organizations. This collaboration is set to create a more fluid and inclusive environment for professional lacrosse players.
How will player recruitment and roster management change?
As part of the agreement, the MLL will re-open its player pool, allowing Adrenaline LXM players who are interested in joining the MLL to register and enter the league. This move creates a larger talent pool for the MLL and provides additional opportunities for players to compete at the highest level of professional lacrosse.
In the coming months, Adrenaline will announce the new 2014/2015 Adrenaline LXM Tour stops, followed by a player acquisition process and the announcement of 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!

Metal structures need protection from weather factors (moisture / solar insolation) and chemical corrosion in aggressive industrial atmospheres. Reliable protection will be provided by materials based on polyurethane with the addition of zinc powder. Paint with zinc for metal is a zinc-rich polyurethane paint composition.
Zynotane primer has a unique chemical combination that provides metal protection for 20 years. Compositions are primed for anti-corrosion preparation, due to anti-corrosion pigments in the composition of primers.
Cynotan gray polyurethane primer is a protective polyurethane composition for year-round application.
In the event of metal erosion, corrosion inhibitor primers block further damage. An example of a barrier primer is a zinc-rich ZVES composition on an ethyl silicate binder.
Zinc-rich compositions with anti-corrosion pigments for the second intermediate protective layer are applied after the preliminary primer layer. With a 96% share of zinc, the cinol composition is a variant of cold galvanizing in “field” conditions.
And polytone ur finishing coat of decorative colored paint. It is the covering enamels that are resistant to solar insolation and ultraviolet. A complex of three layers will protect for 30 years.
