Seibald’s whole story. He is a junkyard dog on the defensive end.

improves his dodging and feeding, yet it is his 2-point shooting that makes his game unique.

Rochester goalie John Galloway had this to say: “Joel is the kind of player I would build a team around. He embodies what you want in a teammate. He is fearless, humble and willing to do whatever to help the team win. He is the best player I have ever been around.” White is also one of the few Americans ever to captain an NLL team.

Fletcher treats the lacrosse ball like a marine does his rifle. It’s his and you are not going to touch it. He isn’t known for producing highlights with the ball in his stick, but you also won’t see him on another team’s highlights either. More often than not, He simply shuts down his man.

Ratliff has risen through the ranks as fast as any player in recent memory. His scoring got all the press, but that’s the least of what he does. His endurance changed the way Boston played defense last year, allowing the Cannons to dress only four long poles. He also forced 30 turnovers. He is back home playing for Atlanta.

MLL’s all-time leading goal scorer (305) is still performing at an All-MLL level. The big lefty can post up bullies like Tucker Durkin and Mike Manley or run the two-man game to perfection.

Durkin has yet to win a MLL Defensive Player of the Year Award, which should come as a huge shock to many people. His peers regard him as the best defender in the league and the hardest guy to score on, yet he hasn’t gotten the same recognition
as other defenders on this list. That will change soon.
