Boston, Mass. � Major League Lacrosse (MLL), the premier
professional outdoor lacrosse league, announced today the order
for its Expansion Draft, according to MLL Commissioner David
Gross. The league�s Expansion Draft takes place via
conference call on November 1, 2005. The MLL will expand to four
new cities in 2006: Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles and San
Francisco. All four teams will take part in the Expansion Draft.
In addition, the draft order for the 2006 Supplemental and
Collegiate Drafts was determined. All ten teams will take part
in those two drafts.
A selection draft order was determined at random, allowing
Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, in that order,
to select which picks in which of the three drafts (Expansion,
Supplemental, Collegiate) they wanted.
Chicago chose first, taking the first overall selection in the
2006 Collegiate Draft. Denver chose second, taking the second
overall selection in the 2006 Collegiate Draft. Los Angeles and
San Francisco rounded out the first round of selections, taking
the first and second overall picks in the 2006 Expansion draft
respectively. The process was repeated, reversing the order each
time, until the first four slots in each of the 2006 Collegiate,
Supplemental, and Expansion Drafts were determined. The order
among the Expansion Teams is reversed in each Draft round.
