The indoor National Lacrosse League (NLL) season had to conclude without a playoffs for the league and the Georgia Swarm. But Shayne follows in the footsteps of his teammate Lyle Thompson, who is the reigning Major League Lacrosse (MLL) MVP for Chesapeake from 2019 and was the NLL MVP back in 2017 (indoor-league runner-up last year, too).

Cramming two Lax stories into one thread, there won't be any outdoor pro lacrosse for awhile, either, especially here in the ATL. Despite breaking through to reach the MLL semifinals in 2019 with the league's Rookie of the Year (Alex Woodall) and Defensive Player of the Year (Liam Byrnes) in tow, the Atlanta Blaze folded operations pre-pandemic, back in February.

Waning attendance, fluctuating mid-season venues and ownership changes, and crippling player and coach management decisions from 2016's fateful inaugural season (that Myles Jones deal still gives me a headache! Who even does that?) proved too much to overcome. The MLL transferred the club's roster and management to Philly, to resurrect the previously folded Barrage franchise.
