The Crease: a 255 square foot forcefield enclosing the goal. The painted circles serve as the last line of defense for goalies and teams guard their crease as if it were the Red Keep. Numerous offensive players who lay siege upon the crease will also often pay a price for getting too close. Conquering the crease is no easy feat in the PLL and few players maneuver their way past the vanguard to duel with the gatekeeper. Attackers and keepers alike fight for the title of “Crease King”.  

The first recipient of the coveted Crease King crown is Atlas LC Attackman, Eric Law. No one is better at infiltrating the enemy's gates and Law is the PLL’s specialist at finding the weakest point of the defense and ransacking on the doorstep.

The two yards of earth in front of the crease are truly “No Man’s Land”. This hostile area makes both invaders and defenders the most vulnerable to opposing ambushes. As always, the long-sticks are also patrolling the area and eagerly waiting to induce pain on any short-stick raiders. In 2019, the league’s leader in successful missions across the heavily defended battle site is the “5 & In” unit officer. 

Eric Law’s Five Yards & In Ranks
Shots: 35 (T-1st)
Goals: 21 (1st)
Shooting: 60% (1st)
Average shot distance: 4.53 Yards (Closest in the PLL)
