The National Lacrosse League (NLL) is the professional league of men's indoor lacrosse in North America. Indoor lacrosse is a less violent version of box lacrosse. Crosschecking and sticks with solid shafts are not allowed; these differences allow more running than in box lacrosse. Unlike other lacrosse leagues, which play in the summer, the NLL plays its games in the winter.
The NLL was formed in 1997 from the Major Indoor Lacrosse League(MILL), with the decision to move from league ownership of all teams to individual team ownership. The MILL was created in 1986 as the Eagle Pro Box Lacrosse League. The first season started in January 1987 as the Eagle Pro Box Lacrosse League. It changed its name to Major Indoor Lacrosse League in 1988. The MILL disbanded in 1997 at the time the NLL was formed and five of the MILL teams joined the NLL. The National Lacrosse League recognizes the MILL history as its own.
