The Denver Outlaws
are a lacrosse team based in Denver, Colorado. They began playing in the MLL as a 2006 expansion team. From 2006 to 2008, they were in the Western Conference. With the MLL contraction for the 2009 season from 10 to 6 teams (due to the state of the U.S. economy), there will only be one conference.
