The San Diego Seals are a lacrosse team based in San Diego, California. The team plays in the National Lacrosse League (NLL). The 2024 season was their fifth season in the NLL. The season started on December 9, 2022, as a home opener against the Calgary Roughnecks.
On September 13, 2023, before the start of the season, team captain Brodie Merrill announced his retirement from professional lacrosse.[1] His number (#17) was retired at the home opener.[2] Wesley Berg was named as the new team captain.[3] However, on March 15, 2024 it was announced that Merrill would be returning to the active roster, and plans to finish the remainder of the 2024 season on the Seals.[4]
The Seals ended the regular season and entered the playoffs with the second overall ranking.[5] They lost to the Albany FireWolves in the Semifinals.[6]
