History
A franchise of the upstart North American Lacrosse League based in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area was announced in June 2011, the first of five total teams announced. The name and logos were announced on July 14, 2011 at the Woodlands Inn & Resort in Wilkes-Barre. Jim Jennings, former commissioner of the National Lacrosse League is the owner and team president of the club. They were initially scheduled to play in the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza.
On December 31, 2011, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and three of the four other teams announced the NALL had fired its acting commissioner and would move to a fall schedule. This measure led to a rift in the organization that was resolved in court, with the fall faction organizing as the Professional Lacrosse League. On February 6, 2012, the Luzerne County Convention Center Authority announced it has terminated the agreement for the Shamrocks to play in the Mohegan Sun Arena. Now known as the Pennsylvania Shamrocks, the team is reportedly seeking a new venue for the 2012 season.
