NLL 2025: Who’s in, who’s out

Here it is: a complete summary of all the roster changes for each team, all in one place. I will update this article as things change, up until the beginning of the season.

Just to be clear, “In” means that the player is part of the announced roster for the 2025 season and was not on the active roster during the team’s last game of the season in 2024. “Out” means just the opposite: they were on the roster for the last game last year, but are not on the active roster as of now. So a player who was injured since (or during) the last game last year but is back now is “In”, while a player who is currently injured might be “Out”.

Not all teams have announced who’s on their IR, PUP, or holdout lists so take an empty list with a grain of salt. Also most teams don’t have (or didn’t announce) a Protected or Draft list, but the Rush did.

NLL Roster announcements

Today I’m not going to rank the rosters themselves, just the announcements of the rosters. Every team announced their rosters on Monday, but most of them just threw a list out there while others went a little further and made it fun. Other than Calgary’s video game thing, the announcements were pretty tame this year. Nobody eating hot wings or anything; in fact, only Calgary and Toronto had videos at all.

2024 NLL Playoff report – Quarterfinals

Typically in the playoffs we see lots of excitement, lots of jubilation, and lots of heartbreak. The first weekend of the 2024 NLL playoffs delivered on all counts. I mean, it would be nice to see less heartbreak, but every team worked extremely hard over the last five months to get to the playoffs and since half of the teams are going to see their season end in the first round, heartbreak is not really something that can be avoided.

2024 NLL Week 19

There were nine games this past weekend and every game had playoff implications for one or both teams playing and in some cases, a couple of other teams as well. That, by itself, is the first Awesome of the week. But there’s more!

2024 NLL Week 17 report

What a week! Entirely home team wins except in Philly, four OT games, a few big comebacks, a last-place team almost beating a second-place team, a player tying a legend for a goals record, and another player almost tying another one. Let’s get to it!

2024 NLL Week 13

Games were all over the place this past weekend. A couple of one goal games, one in overtime, and also an eight-goal game and a thirteen-goal blowout. One game with 28 goals, two with 25, and one with 14. The first place teams (Toronto and Albany) won and the last place team (Vancouver) lost, but Colorado and Las Vegas also won and Georgia and Buffalo lost. Calgary and Panther City are moving up, while Philadelphia and Rochester are dropping. Man, this season is fun, isn’t it?

2024 NLL Week 11

Six games this past week, and only one that was won by more than two goals. And other than the last eight minutes or so, that one was one of the closest games of the season. Lots of awesome to go around this week, starting with one of the most awesome stories of the year.

2024 NLL Week 8

We had a few upsets in the NLL this week, resulting in wins for three different teams who only had one win on the season. We are also down to just one undefeated team. This week’s report is a bit of a long one, so grab yourself a cup of coffee or something.

2024 NLL Week 6

For the second time in this young season, I have no Not Awesomes this week.

2024 NLL Week 4

A light week in the NLL with only three games, and yet thanks to the holidays I’m still getting this article up several days late. Apologies for my tardiness but on the upside, there are no Not Awesomes this week! I mean, there were things that weren’t awesome from this past week – for example, Colorado’s offense, but much of that was Georgia’s defense and goaltending. I didn’t think it was bad enough to warrant a whole Not Awesome section. Similarly, Panther City’s attendance was not awesome (in fact, it sucked) but that’s a dead horse I’m kinda getting tired of beating.
