The New York Atlas are a professional field lacrosse team based in Albany, New York, that competes in the Premier Lacrosse League (PLL).

History

The Atlas LC was one of the six founding members of the PLL for the 2019 season. The inaugural roster was made up of several former Johns Hopkins players, most notably PLL co-founder, Paul Rabil, as well as Tucker Durkin, Ryan Brown, John Crawley, and Joel Tinney. The Atlas has an unofficial rivalry with the Whipsnakes as several of the Whipsnakes players are former Maryland Terrapins, a collegiate rivalry carrying over to the pros. The Bulls struggled in their first 2 seasons going 7-10. However, in 2021 and 2022 they were among the league's best with a combined record of 13-9. This success was largely due to the breakout of Attackman Jeff Teat and the 2022 MVP campaign from Faceoff Athlete Trevor Baptiste. In 2023 it was announced that the Atlas LC would become the New York Atlas with the introduction of home cities for the 2024 season. The decision to place the Atlas identity in New York was attributed to iconography like the Wall Street Bull Statue and the tough, hard-nose nature of New York sports.
