The North American Lacrosse League hopes to begin its indoor season in January, with six to eight teams playing a 12-game schedule that would compete with the National Lacrosse League, the older and established league that traces its roots to the Eagle Pro Box Lacrosse League in 1986. Former NBA D-League President Phil Evans will serve as North American Lacrosse League commissioner and be based in Somerville, N.J. North American Lacrosse League franchises will cost about $250,000 and players will earn from $200 to $1,000 a week. The Boston NLL franchise that began play in 2009 cost $3 million. NLL players average about $18,000 a season. Team markets include: Charlotte; Hershey, PA; Lexington, Ky; Orlando; Richmond, VA; Wilkes-Barre, Pa; and a New York area franchise, according to SBJ.
