Lexington, MA– There is still time to get your ICL raffle tickets!!! Due to the number of recent postponements because of rain, the ICL has decided to reschedule the drawing of the winner of the 2019 raffle until after July 1. The rescheduling of the raffle will give ICL supporters additional time to purchase tickets and players more time to return them. Many teams have experienced numerous rainouts over the last few weeks. Many players have not had the opportunity to meet with their respective teams and return their tickets. A new date for the raffle drawing will be announced next week. The ICL’ s Board of Directors thanks our fans for their ongoing support.
