The Boston Rockhoppers were an American indoor lacrosse team based in Marlborough, Massachusetts. Formerly a member of the North American Lacrosse League, the Rockhoppers played their home games at New England Sports Center.[1]

On June 18, 2013, the Rockhoppers and the rest of the North American Lacrosse League announced that they would be suspending operations.

History

The franchise was announced as an expansion member of the North American Lacrosse League on January 14, 2012.[2] Originally scheduled to be a 2013 expansion team, due to initial struggles and as a result of the NALL and PLL split, the Rockhoppers moved up their first season to 2012.[3]

On March 2, 2012 the Rockhoppers faced-off against the Kentucky Stickhorses in the first game between two NALL franchises. The Stickhorses won 19-14.[4] The two teams opened the 2013 season, with the Rockhoppers winning 10-9.[5]
