Major Series Lacrosse (MSL) has raised the curtain on the highly anticipated 2024 season with the release of the league schedule.
The season will showcase seven teams competing in a 12-game schedule, evenly split between six home games and six away games.
Following the regular season, the playoffs will feature three rounds, with the first-place team receiving an automatic bye past the opening round.
The first round of the postseason will be a best-of-five series, followed by the semi-final and final series, both of which will be best-of-sevens.
The Peterborough Lakers will kick off their season with an away game against the Oakville Rock on June 3rd at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre, with the home opener set for June 13th against the Brooklin Lacrosse Club.
