The 2021 season was certainly a unique year with many challenges, tribulations and restrictions such as not holding the NY State Championships among other logistical and scheduling modifications, but everyone was fortunate it to be able to play and we as a publications company, were honored to cover these Long Island players & market - the hotbed of lacrosse that breeds the nations most talented lacrosse players.  Last year (the 2020 season) was cancelled due to covid-19 but the players made the best of it and it is important for us to recognize the top players for their remarkable performance on the field.  Although it is a pleasure to cover this market, it is also extremely difficult to make this team as there are so many phenomenal players to choose from but after much consideration and evaluating the players from this season and throughout the playoffs, our staff has selected the below players to be named to our annual All Back Of The Cage Media team.
