The National Lacrosse League said it will cancel the 2008 season unless a new collective bargaining agreement with its players is reached by Monday.
Talks between the NLL, which includes the Buffalo Bandits, and the Professional Lacrosse Players Association broke off Sunday. The sides are said to be far apart on salary levels and length of contract.
According to the league, no talks are scheduled.
The NLL added an expansion team in Boston this year, the league's 14th franchise.
The average salary for the NLL is about $14,500 over a 16 game season.
With attendance of over 12,000 per game, the Bandits were the third-largest drawing team last season.
