The Arizona Sting are a member of the National Lacrosse League. They played at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio from 2001 to 2003 as the Columbus Landsharks. On August 28, 2003 it was announced the team was relocating to Glendale, Arizona. The team adopted the name Sting in November 2003 and began play in the Glendale Arena.
In 2005 the Sting defeated the 2004 NLL champion Calgary Roughnecks to win the franchise's first-ever West Division title. The Sting fell 19-13 to the East Division champion Toronto Rock in the league championships.
Five Sting players were selected for the 2006 National Lacrosse League All-Star Game, played on February 25, 2006 in Toronto. Craig Conn was selected to start in the game, and was joined by teammates Peter Lough, Bruce Codd, Scott Self and Jonas Derks, who were named all-star reserves.
On October 15, 2007 the Sting's 2008 season was canceled along with the other 13 teams in the NLL due to the Professional Lacrosse Players' Association and the NLL team owners not reaching a new Collective Bargaining Agreement.[1]
