There's so much to celebrate from 2021 — the year lacrosse came back.

Follow us on Twitter (@usalacrossemag) throughout December to see fan polls and winners for categories that help encapsulate the 2021 season. You can learn more about the categories later today.
If you’re curious about the rest of the magazine, you can go Inside the Edition here.

3. It’s Face-Off Weekend in the NLL, and rosters have dropped.
You can head to each team’s respective Twitter account to see more, but here are a few rosters that were revealed Monday.
