Hall of Fame

    The Great Plains Lacrosse League (GPLL) was formed in 1991 following the demise of the Gateway Lacrosse League.  Initially the league consisted of seven teams, and over the years it has grown to as many as eight or shrunk to as few as four.  Many of the college teams moved to the USILA as it grew, but the GPLL lives on as a thriving post-collegiate league and a breeding ground for young college teams.
