Wednesday, December 23, 2009
The Philadelphia Wings 23-man roster for the 2010 season
is set according to team General Manager David Huntley. The Wings will return 14 players from
the 2009 squad. The team plays its
home opener Saturday, January 16 at the Wachovia Center with lower level seats starting at
only $18.
Key players returning for 2010 include
former All-Stars Geoff Snider (Assistant Captain), Kyle Sweeney (Springfield, PA), Taylor Wray, and Drew Westervelt along
with the goaltending duo of Rob Blasdell and Brandon Miller. Team leading
goal scorer Merrick Thomson will also be back for his third season with
Philadelphia. Captain Thomas Hajek will enter his
seventh season with the team and will be joined by fellow defender and Assistant
Captain Shawn Nadelen. Mat Giles,
the Wings top overall scorer in 2009, will also be back to compete in his
twelfth NLL season.
New faces for 2010 include the Wings
top draft pick Bob Snider and former 2008 top five overall draft choice Kevin
Huntley, who did not play in 2009.
They will be joined by two former players; John Christmas (Lower
Merion, PA), who took last season off to start his
urban youth lacrosse organization LEAPS and by Jason Crosbie who played for the
Toronto Rock in 2009. Ridley, PA
native Bill McGlone and Edmonton Rush 2009 top point getter, Dan Teat, are also
key additions for 2010.
