# 2006 Philadelphia Wings season

The Philadelphia Wings are a lacrosse team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania playing in the National Lacrosse League (NLL). The 2006 season was the 20th in franchise history.

Other than the emergence of talented rookie Sean Greenhalgh, the 2006 season was largely forgettable for the Wings, who finished 8-8 and out of the playoffs for a fourth straight year.
