I agree with user3158900, and I only differ slightly in the way I use it:

{{Form::label('sports', 'Sports')}}
{{Form::select('sports',$aSports,null,array('multiple'=>'multiple','name'=>'sports[]'))}}

However, in my experience the 3rd parameter of the select is a string only, so for repopulating data for a multi-select I have had to do something like this:

@foreach($aSports as $aKey => $aSport)
    @foreach($aItem->sports as $aItemKey => $aItemSport)
        {{$aSport}}
    @endforeach
@endforeach
