Philadelphia Wings’ defenseman Ian Llord was named the NLL’s Rookie of the Week for his performance in the Wings’ 10-7 win over the Calgary Roughnecks last Saturday.  Llord scored his first NLL goal in the contest, added one assist, and collected seven loose balls.

“Our rookies are showing great maturity this season and Ian is no exception,” said Wings Head Coach Lindsay Sanderson. “In addition to showing us a scoring touch on Saturday, he played a great game defensively.”

Llord has five points (1G, 4A) through five games this season and has 23 loose balls.  The 6’3”, 220-pound defenseman was drafted by the Wings in the first round (fifth overall) of the 2006 NLL Entry Draft.
