 A Time to Shine :: by Jac Coyne, Lacrosse Magazine Online Staff
Conventional wisdom says All-Star games are supposed to be a showcase of the game and the players who compete at its highest levels.
Saturday's game in Toronto should be another example of the pride and competitive nature of the players in the league.
It takes just one game for the game of lacrosse to sink its teeth into the psyche of a sports fan, and that is especially true with the NLL All-Star game -- what a showcase is meant to be.

 CBC Sports Online: ANALYSIS: JASON MURDOCH   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Because all but one of the NLL's 10 teams plays in the same arenas as their NHL counterparts (a lot have the same owners), Jennings argues that lost hockey games are missed opportunities to cross promote lacrosse.
Although the NLL has more teams in the U.S. than in Canada, the NLL indoor game is a Canadian invention and is the dominant game here, with field lacrosse in second place.
So the NLL game is analagous to the NHL -- started in Canada, spread to the U.S. It's odd that in the States NBC is going to broadcast the all-star game, while in Canada the CBC hasn't broadcast games for about 50 years.

The Score is the only network to cover the NLL regularly, as it showed 17 regular season games and the NLL All-Star Game.
NLL action provides the same quality of hits as the NHL, although there may not be as many quality hits.
Unlike the 10,000 plus people that attend NLL games, it doesn’t seem like the media’s giving it a fair shot to join the ranks of being a major sporting league.

 SLAM! Sports - Lacrosse - Live from Calgary!
The 'Fastest Game on Two Feet' has piqued the interest of the famous network peacock, which means some huge exposure for pro lacrosse and the city of Calgary.
The all-star game had been slated for Sunday, Feb. 27, but will be moved to Saturday, Feb. 26 at noon to accommodate NBC.
The NLL has made it their No.-1 priority to nail down a national TV deal in the U.S. The Score and Sportsnet have broadcast games nationally in Canada while Stateside games were only aired regionally on networks, including Fox Sportsnet, Empire Sports Network and Altitude.

Since the NLL debuted in 1998, there have been three more All Star fests, in '99, '02 and last season, when 16,742 Mammoth fans filled the Pepsi Center to near-capacity, and The Score cable sports network in Canada provided the only live broadcast.
The acknowledgement of Gary Gait's monumental contribution to the pro indoor game, and the opportunity for him to deliver his "leaving the game in the capable hands of the new generation of NLL stars" message, were handled with grace.
I hope that the NLL, in acknowledging and analysing this situation, had the foresight to order up some focused viewership numbers in their weaker markets, especially the expansion-driving West, coming out of the All Star Game broadcast.

 The Lacrosse Forums - all star game tv ratings in
With the strong results from the AS game, and with the increased lead time between now and the game, there is ample time to get the word out there for the championship.
The reason there was no advertising for the All-Star game was because the NLL had paid NBC to air the game (Believe it was 500 000$, not sure) to get more exposier on national television.
The plan was that getting the game on TV would get more people seeing the game, therefore they would make up 500 000$ on ticket revenues from people who didn't know about lacrosse before it aired.

But anyone who saw last week's NLL tilt in Calgary saw - pretty much - an honest lacrosse game, filled with fine goals, tight marking and some outstanding shot blocking by four of the finest goaltenders on the planet.
The game fairly flew into sudden-death overtime, and it took just over a minute for the ageless John Tavares of the Buffalo Bandits to twist out of the vice-like grip of San Jose Stealth defensive whiz Jim Moss, and beat red-hot Colorado Mammoth goaltender Gee Nash with a winning goal for the ages.
The NLL All-Star Game was a nice reminder of what really matters in sports.
