Background & History

Based at Ball Arena (known then as McNichols Sportsplex), they aim to represent Denver in professional lacrosse competition under their long-standing ownership structure.

They have contributed to the continued growth and popularity of box lacrosse in North America since joining the NLL full-time in 2003/2004, providing consistent professional representation for Denver within the league.
