NLL Insider

As part of today’s National Junior Player of the Year Award announcements, NLL Insider is also announcing our inaugural All-Canadian First and Second Team members.

Our All-Canadian Teams can be best described as simply our All-Pro picks for the Junior game in Canada. Also similar to the NCAA’s All-American selections for a variety of sports.

Our teams consist of three offensive players, two defensive or transitional players and one goaltender. As with our individual award winners, only this year’s regular season was taken into consideration. Past seasons and playoff performances were not factored in.

After the jump, check out who landed a spot on our All-Canadian Teams for the 2008 season.
