This agreement comes at the perfect time, as Albany was one of the best teams in the National Lacrosse League last season. After winning just three games the season prior, Albany finished the regular season with a record of 11-7, third-best in the entire league.
They advanced to the NLL Finals for the first time in franchise history, and seem poised to do it again in 2024-25.
The FireWolves will open the 2024-25 NLL season on Saturday, November 30 at MVP Arena as they begin their journey toward the NLL Championship.
