Drafting and Call-ups of West Coast Players to the NLL Just Became Easier

TORONTO. - The one thing very noticeable in the National Lacrosse League (NLL) draft was the lopsided picking of players in the east, compared to players in the west. There are a number of factors in play, but exposure, or lack there of, is top of the list. How do we get these kids noticed when they have a window of only a few months to play at top levels?
