2. Vancouver got lots of attention with former NHL player Paul Bissonnette “trying out” for the team last weekend, but the Warriors have some new faces to help continue the rebuilding project in 2019-20. Included is the return of U.S. team player Chris O’Dougherty after missing last year with an injury.
Vancouver hosts Calgary on Saturday, one of three games in the NLL this weekend.
3. The Wings announced their NLL roster yesterday, and there will be 28 Americans on opening-day rosters in the league, nearly double from just a few years ago.
In 2016, only 13 Americans played in the NLL.
