The National Lacrosse League today released a new schedule for the 2005 season, an eighty-game slate in which the Vancouver Ravens are not included.

In all, NLL changed the visiting team for sixteen games, but eight of those were Ravens games that had to be reassigned anyway.

The league also got by on just one date change, erasing a mid-February game in Anaheim for one in the final weekend of the season -- a shift which league sources indicate would have been made anyway.

The revised 2005 NLL schedule, with changes in bold and original opponent immediately to the right of the game date (all times Eastern):
