TSN is reporting that the League and the Professional Lacrosse Players Association have struck a seven year labor deal.

For those of you sick and tired of ridiculous player salaries in sports these days, here are some eye popping numbers:

The $21,294 capped veteran salary and the $25,552 capped franchise player salary - each team can have a maximum of two franchise players - will increase five per cent next season, while the $6,880 rookie and $9,282 second-year maximum will increase by six per cent.

Interestingly the previously announced schedule is now out the window as some teams have released reserved arena dates after the season cancellation had been imposed. A new schedule should be released shortly.
