Former Boston Cannons midfielder Paul Rabil was included in the 2025 Pro Lacrosse Hall of Fame class, the team posted on Wednesday.

Attacker Kevin Laveille and midfielders Joe Walters and Kyle Harrison were also honored in the 2025 class. 

Rabil was the first pick in the Major Lacrosse League 2008 Draft by the Boston Cannons. In the league, he earned the MVP honors twice, was a seven-time All-Star and was Offensive Player of the Year three times. 

He left the league to co-found the Premier Lacrosse League in 2018 with his brother, Mike. Rabil was originally a part of the New York Atlas but was then traded back to the Cannons in 2021 after the MLL and PLL merged in 2020.

In the PLL, he earned two more All-Star titles in 2019 and 2021 as well as was named to the First-Team All-Pro in 2021. He is the all-time scoring leader across professional lacrosse with 657 points, including 355 total goals. 

He also won two championships as part of the US Men’s National Team and was included in All-World selections in 2010 and 2014. He was inducted into the USA Lacrosse Hall of Fame in January.

Rabil retired in 2021 but continues to be a part of the PLL, where he serves as president.
