On November 16, the NLL announced the NLL unBOXed Series, a new series of games designed to activate their unBOXed markets. The first game in the series took place on February 16, 2024 at the Place Bell, in Laval, Quebec between the Toronto Rock and the New York Riptide. The game was designed to activate the Quebec market and was the first NLL game for that market since 2002, when the Montreal Express folded.[5]
On February 21, the NLL announced that the New York Riptide would relocate to Ottawa, and will be renamed the Ottawa Black Bears.[6]
