The Arena Lacrosse League, or ALL, is an amateur indoor box lacrosse league in Canada that develops players with professional ambitions. Its men’s competition includes 12 teams split between Ontario’s East Division and British Columbia’s West Division.
The appeal is simple: fast possessions, physical play and a chance to follow players working toward the next level. The ALL is an official developmental partner of the National Lacrosse League.

- Box Lacrosse On FloLacrosse: 10 AWESOME Things To Know About The NLL
With ALL games streaming on FloLacrosse, fans can get to know another part of the box lacrosse landscape.
Which Teams Play In The Arena Lacrosse League?
The ALL has eight men’s teams in the East and four in the West.
- ALL East: Brampton Express, Brooklin Bobcats, Grand River Wolves, Ohsweken Bears, Peterborough Timbermen, Six Nations Snipers, Toronto Monarchs and Whitby Steelhawks.
- ALL West: Black Fish, Grizzlies, Sea Spray and Shooting Eagles.
All four West teams play at Langley Events Centre in British Columbia. East teams compete at arenas across Ontario, including Brampton Memorial Arena, Iroquois Lacrosse Arena and Luther Vipond Memorial Arena.
Two names reflect recent franchise changes: The Oshawa Outlaws became the Brooklin Bobcats, while the Paris RiverWolves rebranded as the Grand River Wolves.
What Rules Does The Arena Lacrosse League Use?
The ALL uses NLL box lacrosse rules with league-specific exceptions, including no coach’s challenges.
Each team has five runners and one goalie on the floor during standard play. Games take place indoors on a boarded playing surface rather than an outdoor field.
Regulation consists of four 15-minute quarters, and a 30-second shot clock keeps possessions moving. For newcomers, those are the essentials: fewer players on the floor than in traditional men’s field lacrosse, quick transitions and physical play.
How Is The ALL Connected To The NLL?
The ALL is an official developmental partner of the NLL, but the leagues are not the same competition. The ALL provides an amateur development setting; the NLL is professional.
The ALL began play in 2017 with six Ontario teams. It added a four-team Western division in 2022, extending its reach to British Columbia.
The NLL announced the leagues’ formal partnership in 2018, emphasizing development opportunities for players and officials. More than 200 ALL players have received NLL opportunities over the league’s existence.
For fans, that connection offers another reason to watch: following players as they work toward professional opportunities, rather than discovering them only after they reach the next level.
When Is The ALL Season, And How Are Champions Decided?
The ALL’s 2026-27 season runs from December through March, with teams competing within their own divisions.
There is no East-West championship final. Instead, the two divisions crown separate champions, giving fans two distinct title races to follow.
The Six Nations Snipers enter as the defending East champions, while the Grizzlies are the defending West champions. Both won their respective division titles in 2026.
