From breakout rookies to seasoned stars, these players dominated on the field – and in the stands. Here’s a look at the players everyone wanted to rep this year.
10. Marcus Holman, Boston Cannons
At 34 years old, Holman continues to be the heartbeat of the Cannons. In 2025, his veteran leadership helped Boston navigate an uncharacteristically and unexpectedly tough season. And of course, it always helps when every goal you net is an instant contender for ESPN’s top plays.
9. Jeff Teat, New York Atlas
Teat’s reputation precedes him, and still, somehow, he added another accolade as the U.S. Bank Championship MVP. Teat’s six-point performance in the title game showcased his brilliance as both a scorer and feeder. Teat’s consistency and creativity make him a perennial fan favorite, and his jersey remains among the league’s best sellers. With back-to-back seasons of dominance and, now, a championship ring, Teat is the epitome of a generational talent.
8. Josh Balcarcel, California Redwoods
Balcarcel’s story struck a chord with fans across the lacrosse world. The undrafted rookie fought his way onto the Redwoods roster and made an immediate impact, becoming a spark plug in midfield. The Marist alum captured the hearts of Redwoods fans, giving his all every single week. His jersey sales skyrocketed thanks to his underdog story and relentless hustle.
7. Connor Shellenberger, New York Atlas
The 2025 Jim Brown MVP was unstoppable. Shellenberger led the league with 46 points, pairing perfectly with Teat to form the most lethal duo in lacrosse. His versatility – dodging from X, shooting from range and threading assists – earned him Attackman of the Year honors, as well. Shellenberger’s rise from college star to PLL MVP in just two seasons is the stuff of legend, but for the humble kid from Virginia, all he cared about was helping give the Atlas their first championship.
6. Pat Kavanagh, Denver Outlaws
After an offseason trade from the Cannons to the Outlaws last November, Kavanagh proved to everyone he was more than just a collegiate superstar. He finished top-three in points and was a finalist for MVP, driving Denver’s offense alongside Brennan O’Neill with his vision and infamous Kavanagh grit. Unsurprisingly, his jersey sales surged as he helped Denver become a championship contender.
5. Liam Entenmann, New York Atlas
Aside from Blaze Riorden, goalies rarely top jersey sale charts, but Entenmann is more than just a goaltender. The Atlas netminder was sensational in 2025, leading the league in saves and backstopping New York to its first PLL title. His 18-save semifinal performance and 14 stops in the U.S. Bank Championship cemented his reputation as a top goalie in the pro game in his first full season as a starter. Fans love his calm demeanor and clutch ability, and his jersey became a symbol of Atlas pride.
4. Brennan O’Neill, Denver Outlaws
The Outlaws were a force to be reckoned with in 2025, thanks in large part to O’Neill. The second-year pro’s combination of size and athleticism powered the Outlaws to the title game. O’Neill embodies the new era of professional lacrosse – big, fast and unafraid.
3. Chris Kavanagh, California Redwoods
Kavanagh’s rookie year was nothing short of spectacular. The Notre Dame product earned Rookie of the Year honors after posting 37 points and becoming the Redwoods’ offensive catalyst. Known for his creativity and clutch scoring, Kavanagh brought a much-needed flair to California’s attack. He may be a part of lacrosse royalty, but it was his grittiness and creativity that made his jersey a must-have for fans.
2. CJ Kirst, Philadelphia Waterdogs
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 College Draft lived up to the hype. Sidelined at the start of the season due to an injury suffered during his NCAA championship run with Cornell, Kirst exploded onto the professional scene with highlight-reel goals and a physical style that energized the Waterdogs’ attack. His rookie campaign included two six-point games and a behind-the-back finish that went viral. Philadelphia embraced him as the future of its franchise and had everyone repping No. 15 in the stands.
1. Michael Sowers, Philadelphia Waterdogs
After a down year in 2024 for the Waterdogs, Philadelphia’s hometown hero delivered as one of the league’s most dynamic playmakers, bringing them back to the playoffs. Sowers led the Waterdogs’ offense with precision, finishing among the league leaders in assists and points. His ability to create scoring opportunities from X and dodge through traffic continues to make him a nightmare for defenses. A Philly boy through and through, Sowers is beloved by fans of all ages. It’s no surprise he led the league in jersey sales.
