[[File:Scorebook from 1988 ALL Lacrosse game between the NJ arrows and Baltimore Tribe.jpg|thumb|Photo of the scorebook from the 1988 ALL Pro Lacrosse Game between the NJ Arrows and the Baltimore Tribe]]
The '''American Lacrosse League''' ("ALL") was a professional [[lacrosse]] league that played for one partial season in 1988. At the time it featured most of the best lacrosse players in the world who played some of the most exciting lacrosse games ever witnessed.  It was founded by Terry Wallace and Bruce Meierdiercks, former teammates at [[Adelphi University]].<ref name="New Pro League but Skeptics Doubt it Will Survive">((cite news |last1=Zunser |first1=Lynn |title=New Pro League but Skeptics Doubt it Will Survive |url=https://poststandard.newspaperarchive.com/syracuse-herald-journal/1988-04-24/page-35/ |access-date=3 March 2022 |agency=Syracuse Herald Journal |date=24 April 1988))</ref>  The league folded after five weeks of play.<ref>https://www.newspapers.com/article/120904311/american-lacrosse-league/</ref><ref>https://www.newspapers.com/article/newsday-nassau-edition-american-lacros/120904311/</ref>

Wallace and Meierdiercks tried to fashion the new league after the success of the [[Major Indoor Lacrosse League]] which commenced operations in 1987. Both leagues employed a "single entity" ownership model, instead of franchise being owned individually. The league owned all of the teams which helped to keep costs down.<ref>http://crossecheck.com/2019/03/17/american-lacrosse-league-1988/#_edn1 The American Lacrosse League by Steve Holroyd</ref>

Meierdiercks in announcing the league's formation stated "Terry and I were All Americans and we love lacrosse. We're not doing this for the money. We're financially sound and in a position to do this for two years." He continued "then we plan to sell the franchises to the GM's - at least give them the first right of refusal. Then Terry and I will probably take over an expansion franchise in Philadelphia or Los Angeles or San Fransisco."<ref>Tanton, Bill, "Get ready, Baltimore: Here comes another sports team." Baltimore Evening Sun, April 20, 1988</ref> Meierdiericks claimed at the time that he and Wallace invested $2 million of their own capital into the league by "pre-paying" expenses to give the infant league two years of financial runway.<ref>Free, Bill, "Pure sport' turning pro with new outdoor league," Baltimore Sun, April 20, 1988</ref>

In an attempt to distance the outdoor version from the pro wrestling atmosphere that permeated the MILL, in a "shot across the MILL's bow"<ref>Holroyd, ID</ref> the ALL leaders stated the games would be played in a family atmosphere with no alcoholic beverages sold, affordable ticket prices ($8 per game single tickets and $56 season tickets) and the players were to be "drug tested." The ALL stated that with 2,500 paying fans per game, the league could break even the first year.<ref name="Tanton Id">Tanton Id.</ref> The league introduced numerous rule changes to the sport designed to create more offense and excitement including a 25 second clearing clock and 3 long stick defenders on the filed maximum at any one time. <ref>Free, Bill, "Pure sport' turning pro with new outdoor league," Baltimore Sun, April 20, 1988</ref>
[[File:ALL Mission statement 1987.jpg|thumb]]
[[File:ALL Info Handout 1988.pdf|thumb|ALL Info Handout ]]

The ALL announced a 10-game cable TV package deal with the FNN/MSG (Madison Square Garden network), which reached at the time over 32 million television homes.<ref name="Tanton Id"/> As it turned out, no drug testing was ever performed on players or included in any of the player contracts. In addition, the concept of a "family atmosphere" was also a fiction as Denver Rifles co-Captain, Steve Bevelle, overheard the League owners instructing the referees in confidence prior to the first game in Boston to "put away the whistles and let the men play." The clear inference was to let the games indeed turn into the WWE but with sticks and helmets.

The League announced a 6-team league with each team playing 15 games. Teams were set in Boston, Baltimore, Syracuse, New Jersey, Long Island and Denver. The league attracted some of the greatest lacrosse players of the era including USA World team members and [[US Lacrosse Hall of Fame]] inductees such as Brook Sweet ([[University of Massachusetts]]), Brad Kotz ([[Syracuse University]]), Bill Bergan ([[Hobart and William Smith Colleges|Hobart College]]), Tim Schurr ([[Washington & Lee University]]), Peter Scott ([[Johns Hopkins University|Johns Hopkins]]), Steve Beville ([[Washington College]]), Gerry Byrne ([[University of Massachusetts]]), Zack Colburn (UPenn), Todd Curry ([[Syracuse University]]), Michael Burnett (UNC), John Nostrant ([[Washington College]]), Kevin Martin ([[Hobart and William Smith Colleges|Hobart College]]), Dan Pratt ([[Syracuse University]]), Mark Burnham ([[Syracuse University]]), [[Travis Solomon]] ([[Syracuse University]]), [[Greg Tarbell]] ([[Syracuse University]]) and Tom Rosa ([[Hobart and William Smith Colleges|Hobart College]]) to name just some of the 138 players drafted and signed by the league (80% of the players were All-Americans in college). Baltimore attackman, [[US Lacrosse Hall of Fame]] inductee Brooks Sweet<ref>https://www.usalacrosse.com/player-profile/brooks-sweet</ref> stated "Every game is going to be like Hopkins vs. Hopkins. I was skeptical at first, but when I saw the caliber of players in the league, I was impressed."<ref>Free, Bill, "Tribe takes on New Jersey as pro league starts," Baltimore Sun, May 20, 1988</ref>

[[File:ALL Players Handbook 1988.pdf|thumb]]
]]

For the most part, players were assigned to teams on a regional basis to increase fan loyalty stemming from their college experiences. The Syracuse team was made up of mostly [[Syracuse University]] and [[Hobart and William Smith Colleges|Hobart College]] players; The Boston team made up of [[University of Massachusetts]] and [[Brown University]] players; the Baltimore team consisted of [[Johns Hopkins University|Johns Hopkins]], [[University of North Carolina]] and [[Loyola University Maryland|Loyola University]] athletes; the Denver Rifles had players hailing from [[The University of Colorado]], [[Colorado State University]] and [[Colorado College]] etc.  Players were signed to uniform two-year contracts that paid $4,800 the first year and $6,000 in 1989. At that same time the MILL (the indoor league) was still paying its players $100 per game.<ref>Free, "pure sport" id</ref> The first player officially signed by the league was Greg Fisk, an All-American Midfield hailing from the [[University of Massachusetts]] and signed to the [[Boston Militia]].<ref>Harber, Paul, "Militia march into debut," Boston Globe, April 22, 1988</ref>

The league was a forerunner in introducing new and improved rules for the sport of lacrosse, some of which are still in vogue today. The goal was to increase the pace of play, create more offense and make the games more exciting. These rules included such innovative ideas such as a 25-second shot clock, allowing only 3 long poles permitted on the field at any one time (the college rules allowed 5 at that time), unlimited on the fly substitutions (i.e. no horns like in college) and delayed penalties on fast Breaks.<ref>Steve Holroyd in crossecheck.com/2019/03/17/american-lacrosse-league-1988/#_edn1 The American Lacrosse League.</ref>

==The season==

The 1988 inaugural season of the ALL kicked off with three Sunday afternoon tilts on April 24, 1988. Syracuse traveled to Long Island and the turf at Hofstra University to play the Sachems (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEEdUOY2M4o&t=356s), Denver flew into Boston to face the Militia at Tufts University and The Baltimore Tribe ventured up I-95 to square off with the New Jersey Arrows.

The quality of play on the field proved to be a pleasant surprise as the games were fast, exciting and played with unprecedented skill. The problem came with the attendance or lack of attendance. Only 600 paid fans attended the New Jersey game and the following week in the hot bed of lacrosse, Baltimore, only 500 fans attended the very exciting match. The Tribes second home game drew a smaller crowd of 300 fans.<ref>crossecheck.com/2019/03/17/american-lacrosse-league-1988/#_edn1 The American Lacrosse League</ref> On the Other hand, Denver, proved to be a pleasant surprise as 2,7000 paying patrons attended the Rifles exciting overtime victory over New Jersey.

By May 19, teams had played four games. However, it as rapidly becoming apparent that the owners had grossly misstated the amount of capital they had invested. Balitmore player checks bounced and then their General Manager abruptly rescind.  Games started being postponed and the Rifles suspended operations.<ref>Brown, Doug, "Barely a month old, the American Lacrosse League already showing signs of wear," Baltimore Evening Sun, May 20, 1988</ref>

As the league floundered, a few of the Long Island players encouraged Wallace and Meierdiericks to meet them in person at the bank in Long Island to pay their salaries under threat of major slashing penalties and they did.

The most definitive piece written on the league was penned by Steve Holroyd in crossecheck.com/2019/03/17/american-lacrosse-league-1988/#_edn1 The American Lacrosse League.

The '''Boston Militia''' was an outdoor lacrosse team in the short lived American Lacrosse League formed in 1988.<ref>((cite book | last1 = Fisher | first1 = Donald M | title = Lacrosse: A History of the Game | publisher = JHU Press | year = 2002 | url = https://archive.org/details/lacrossehistoryo0000fish | url-access = registration <!--| accessdate = 2012-12-13--> | isbn = 978-0801869389))</ref> The Militia played their home games at Ellis Oval on the campus of [[Tufts University]]. The general manager for the Militia was Chris Harvey and the head coach was David Hill. The Militia compiled a record of two wins and two losses before the American Lacrosse league ceased operation due to financial difficulties. Some of the Militia's notable players were Barry Fraser, Bruce Chanenchuk and goalie Dan O'Neill.

The general manager of the Militia was Chris Harvey and the head coach was David Hill.

* The [[Denver Rifles]] were one of the 6 original members of the American Lacrosse League. They were the only team west of the Mississippi river and not located in a traditional lacrosse hotbed market. The team is credited by multiple local Colorado lacrosse players and coaches along with the [[Vail Lacrosse shootout]] for jump starting the growth of lacrosse in the Rocky Mountains to where it is now a vibrant lacrosse community. Peter Scott, an All-American attackman, from Johns Hopkins University was the first player inked to a contract by the club's General Manager John Bock. Local coaching legend, [[Jon Barocas]] (a Hall of Fame High school coach from East High school in Denver who is in the Coaches Hall of fame) served as the team's assistant General manager. Barocas was credited with garnering multiple marketing opportunities for the team and its players. The legendary player Dave Devine (from Cornell University and a member of the USA World Lacrosse team) served as the team's Head Coach. The team practiced during the pre-season in the famed City Park of Denver causing many patrons to wonder what men with sticks were doing running around with the ducks and the geese. The Rifles would eventually lead the league in attendance during the regular season due to the efforts of Bock and Barocas. The team colors were Red with white and blue trim. The Jerseys were red with royal blue shorts.
