Snider (Toronto Preview)
Important Back to Back Weekend for Wings
Thursday, February 4, 2010

The reigning 2009 NCAA college player of the year, Max Seibald, will make his professional National Lacrosse League debut as a member of the Philadelphia Wings when the Wings (1-3) travel to Toronto to face the Rock (3-1) at the Air Canada Centre on Friday, February 5, and then return home to the Wachovia Center to meet the Orlando Titans (2-1) on Saturday, February 6.

The Wings acquired Seibald from the Boston Blazers on January 25, 2010, in exchange for the Wings 2010 first-round draft pick and future considerations. Seibald is Cornell University's first recipient of the Tewaaraton's award, which awards college lacrosse's player of the year, and just the third player in the awards nine-year history to win the trophy despite not winning a national championship. He racked up 141 career points, the most ever by a Big Red midfielder, and has proven to be one of the most consistent players in the country, having registered at least one point in 59 of his 62 career games.
