NLL seasons

The 2006National Lacrosse League season was the 20th season in the history of the league, which began as the Eagle Pro Box Lacrosse League in 1987. The season began on December 30, 2005 and concluded with the championship game on May 13, 2006.

The defending championToronto Rock were once again the favourite to win the Champions' Cup,[1] but a slow start plus a dismal performance in the semifinal game againstRochester removed the Rock from contention. TheColorado Mammoth, under first-year head coachGary Gait, won their first title since winning the first ever title in 1987, as theBaltimore Thunder.

Highly touted Portland rookieBrodie Merrill lived up to his hype, winning both theDefensive Player of the Year and theRookie of the Year awards. Portland continued its domination of the post-season awards withDerek Keenan, himself a former Rookie of the Year Award winner (1992 with Buffalo), winning both theLes Bartley Award for coach of the year and theGM of the Year Award, and ownerAngela Batinovich winning theExecutive of the Year Award.

Team movement

[edit]

The season featured the debut of two expansion teams; theEdmonton Rush and thePortland LumberJax, both in the Western Division. Portland beat the expansion team odds and won its division, finishing with an 11–5 record, while Edmonton did not fare so well. The Rush finished the season 1–15, their only win coming at the hands of their provincial rivals, theCalgary Roughnecks.

Before the 2006 season, theAnaheim Storm folded not being able to attract enough fans in their two years in Southern California moving from their original home of New Jersey after the 2003 season where, for two seasons, they were not able to attract enough fans.
