Coverage begins on Sunday morning with Combine scrimmage games at 11 a.m. ET. Players have the opportunity to make one final impression on general managers and head coaches by showcasing their skills in a practice setting through structured games.

On Sunday evening, the league will announce 2014 season award winners including the NLL’s Most Valuable Player, Rookie of the Year, All-Pro and All-Rookie Teams, with the ceremony set to begin at 7:30 p.m. ET. The finalists for the 2014 NLL Season Awards are listed below. Claude Feig will serve as the host for the event which will include guest speakers and presenters.

The weekend will culminate with the 2014 NLL Draft on Monday, Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. ET. All three events at TRAC are open to the public with admission free of charge. Limited seating is available and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
