About the GBPLL:
The GPBLL is a Senior A league that allows Midwest teams to dictate how and what happens both on and off the rink, while making it sustainable for teams to play year after year with continued success and growth. The GPBLL governing board, consisting of elected conference representatives, GPBLL ownership, and chief referee, all represent the league and make decisions based off a majority vote. The GPBLL consists of an East and West conference, comprised of four teams per conference. The GPBLL follows current NLL gameplay rules. The season runs from July through October.
