The 2002 [[National Lacrosse League]] season is the 16th season in the NLL.  The season began on November 16, 2001 and concluded with the championship game on April 13, 2002, so, during that season, it was known as the 2001-2002 season as can be seen in the [[Albany Attack]]'s [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bc/Nll_central_division_champs_2002_banner.jpg 2001-2002 Central Division Championship banner].

The [[Toronto Rock]] defeated the [[Albany Attack]] 13–12 to win their third championship in four seasons. [[Colin Doyle (lacrosse)|Colin Doyle]] was named championship game MVP for the second time.

Only one year after the season was lengthened to 14 games, 2002 saw it extended again, this time to 16 games.

==Team movement==
2002 was a year of expansion for the NLL, particularly north of the border. No less than four teams were added, three of them Canadian: the [[New Jersey Storm]], [[Montreal Express]], [[Vancouver Ravens]], and [[Calgary Roughnecks]] all made their NLL debuts. The expansion caused the NLL to return to a divisional format for the first time since [[1994 MILL season|1994]]. The teams were split into the Eastern, Central, and Northern divisions; the winners of each division would make the playoffs, as well as the top three ranked non-division-winners. The Eastern division consisted of Washington, Philadelphia, New York, and New Jersey, the Central division had Albany, Rochester, Montreal, Buffalo, and Columbus, while the remaining Canadian teams (Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, and Calgary) were in the Northern division.

Early in the morning of February 14, limousine driver Costas Christofi was found shot to death at the home of New Jersey Storm owner [[Jayson Williams]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lacrosse-network.com/outsidersguide/news020214.htm|title=Fatal shooting at Jayson Williams' estate|date=February 14, 2002|work=Outsider's Guide to the NLL|accessdate=February 4, 2007|author=Philly, R.A.|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070303050859/http://www.lacrosse-network.com/outsidersguide/news020214.htm|archivedate=March 3, 2007|url-status=usurped|df=mdy-all}}</ref> Williams was later arrested and charged with manslaughter.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lacrosse-network.com/outsidersguide/news020225.htm|title=Williams charged with reckless manslaughter|work=Outsider's Guide to the NLL|date=February 25, 2002|author=Philly, R.A.|accessdate=February 4, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070825124919/http://www.lacrosse-network.com/outsidersguide/news020225.htm|archive-date=August 25, 2007|url-status=usurped|df=mdy-all}}</ref> Williams was acquitted of most charges,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/index.ssf?/news/ledger/stories/jayson_20040522_retrial.html|title= Prosecutor: We'll retry Williams on key charge|work=[[The Star-Ledger]]|author=Reilly, Matthew|date=May 22, 2004|accessdate=February 4, 2007}}</ref> but was to be retried for reckless manslaughter. However, the case was delayed several times. On Monday, January 11, 2010, Williams pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in the case,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/12/sports/basketball/12williams.html|title=Jayson Williams Pleads Guilty in Shooting of Driver|work=The New York Times|author=Schweber, Nate|date=January 11, 2010|accessdate=January 23, 2010| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20100119060027/http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/12/sports/basketball/12williams.html| archivedate=January 19, 2010 | url-status= live}}</ref> and was sentenced on February 23, 2010. Williams would remain owner of the Storm until the franchise folded after the 2005 season.

For the first time in league history, a team changed arenas midseason, as the [[Ottawa Rebel]] left the [[Corel Centre]] for the smaller [[Ottawa Civic Centre]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lacrosse-network.com/outsidersguide/news020215.htm|work=Outsider's Guide to the NLL|title=Rebel going downtown after Saturday|author=Philly, R.A.|date=February 15, 2002|accessdate=February 4, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070926234736/http://www.lacrosse-network.com/outsidersguide/news020215.htm|archive-date=September 26, 2007|url-status=usurped|df=mdy-all}}</ref>  There were two home games left in the season at the time of the move.

==All Star Game==
The 2002 [[National Lacrosse League All-Star Game|All-Star Game]] was held on April 21 at the [[Mohegan Sun Arena]] in [[Uncasville, Connecticut]], where the North team (all of the Canadian teams plus Rochester) beat the South 14–10. The MVP was Toronto's [[Steve Toll]], who scored three goals. At the time, this also marked [[Paul Gait]]'s final professional lacrosse game, as he retired after this season. However, Gait was convinced by his brother [[Gary Gait|Gary]] to come out of retirement during the [[2005 NLL season|2005 season]], and played four games for the [[Colorado Mammoth]] before retiring once again.
