While there have been in the past, there are no CLL Alumni on Buffalo, Fort Worth (Panther City), or Vancouver. Given the nature of the NLL roster movement is very active and players are frequently "called-up" from the Arena Lacrosse League (ALL).

A special shoutout to "Friend of the Program" Duncan Carte as he enters training camp with the Buffalo Bandits having battled back and fully recovered from a freak-injury he sustained during the 2023 Arena Lacrosse League Playoffs.
We are extremely honoured to have spent time with each of the players mentioned above. The CLL gives its best to everyone as they pursue a career in professional lacrosse.
A full list of CLL Alumni can be found here.
*CLL Alumni now at 33, with the inclusion of Evan Soucy at Calgary Roughnecks camp.
