Minnesota Swarm General Manager Marty O’Neill, Head Coach Mike Simpson and players Neil Doddridge and Ray Guze joined local youth lacrosse players shooting balls into a lacrosse net on the Xcel Energy Center turf to help unveil the new team name, logo and colors on the arena’s scoreboard during a special ceremony. The primary Swarm logo depicts a swarming motion while highlighting an ambiguous insect, all in the form of the letter “S”. The electrifying gold, and bold, dominant blue in the logo and the jersey, bring to life the fast-paced, physical play of lacrosse. The secondary logo brings another character to life, with the hint of a lacrosse stick to tie back to the sport. The official team colors are Minnesota Royal Blue, Electric Gold and Minnesota Swarm Silver.

“We are excited to unveil the name and logo of our team,” said Matt Majka, Executive Vice President of Minnesota Sports & Entertainment (MSE). “The Minnesota Swarm best represents what fans can expect from our team and the powerful, high scoring and fast-paced action of the National Lacrosse League.” The Minnesota Swarm name and logo development sought to build a connection to Minnesota sports fans by tapping into the adrenaline-fueled nature of this high-scoring sport, while at the same time recognizing that it would be an edgy new addition to the local sports scene. After sifting through hundreds of names, and getting fan feedback via the Internet, there was one that quickly rose to the top - The Minnesota Swarm - incorporating the idea of coming together in an ultraenergetic way.

Calgary jumped out to an early 6-2 lead in the second quarter behind three goals from F Josh Sanderson (4g, 6a) and never looked back. Minnesota was able to trim the lead to 7-6 in the third quarter, but the Roughnecks finished the game on a 5-1 run to seal the victory. Newly acquired forward F Ryan Benesch led the Swarm with five points (2g, 3a) and F Aaron Wilson added three points (2g, 1a). G Nick Patterson allowed 11 goals on 45 shots and added 34 saves in the loss. 1/15/09 • In front of 11,758 fans for the home opener at Xcel Energy Center, the Minnesota Swarm (1-1) defeated the Calgary Roughnecks, 12-10. Fueled by an energetic crowd, Minnesota managed to build an early 6-2 lead over the Roughnecks behind a balanced scoring attack and stellar goaltending play from G Nick Patterson. Key goals from T Jay Thorimbert (1g), D Jon Sullivan (1g) and F Sean Pollock (1g, 2a) jumpstarted the Swarm and gave the Swarm a 3-1 advantage at the end of the first quarter. From there on, Minnesota’s offense continued to stay hot. Rookie F Zack Greer led the Swarm with five points (1g, 4a) and ten players in total scored at least one goal, which included two from F Tim Campeau (2g, 2a) and F Aaron Wilson (2g, 2a). Defensively, the Swarm delivered punishing hits all night long. Several of those came from Sullivan and newly acquired D Rich Morgan, who used his 6’8” 260 lbs. frame to his advantage. In return, the Swarm stifled Calgary’s offense and shut them out in the third quarter to build a 9-5 lead. Minnesota would maintain that momentum through out the final quarter and Patterson was named the “Toyota Player of the Game” after finishing with 10 GA, 41 saves, and one assist to give the Swarm their first victory of the season. 1/22/10 • The Minnesota Swarm (1-2) lost a heartbreaker to the Colorado Mammoth in overtime by a score of 15-14, in front of 8,648 fans at Xcel Energy Center. F Aaron Wilson tallied a hat trick in the first half and finished with seven points (4g, 3a). F Callum Crawford notched eight

points (3g, 5a) but their heroics weren’t enough as Colorado’s D Tim Ethington (1g, 0a) scored an overtime goal, giving the Mammoth their first win of the season. Crawford’s goal with six minutes left gave the Swarm a late 14-13 lead but Colorado F Brian Langtry (3g, 2a) tied it up with less than two minutes to go. 1/30/10 • The The Minnesota Swarm (1-3) fell to the Buffalo Bandits (1-4) 11-7 in front of 15,636 fans at HSBC Arena. After a slow start, Minnesota managed to tie the game at halftime, 5-5 behind a last second goal from F Callum Crawford (2g, 2a). G Kevin Croswell replaced G Nick Patterson 30 seconds into the second quarter after Patterson allowed five goals in 15 minutes of action. Croswell managed to hold the Bandits scoreless for the next 19 minutes of play until Buffalo responded with four answered goals in the third quarter to build a comfortable 9-5 lead. Buffalo’s defense held strong through out the second half despite allowing 26 shot opportunities from Minnesota’s offense. The Swarm unfortunately would only convert on two of those chances. Bandits G Ken Montour held Minnesota to seven goals and added 44 saves in a complete game and T Mark Steenhuis dished out a game-high seven assists as the Bandits earned their first victory of the season. F Aaron Wilson added four points (2g, 2a), as did Ryan Benesch (1g, 3a). 2/5/10 • The The Minnesota Swarm (1-4) suffered a tough loss to the undefeated Washington Stealth (6-0) by a score of 12-9, in front of 3,526 fans in The Comcast Arena at Everett. The Swarm played solid defensively and were led by F Callum Crawford’s five points (3g, 2a) and F Tim Campeau’s four assists. G Nick Patterson made 29 saves. Minnesota’s physical play on defense limited Washington’s scoring chances early in the second half. After allowing two quick goals in the opening minutes of the third quarter, the Swarm were able to hold the Stealth scoreless for the remaining 13 minutes of the quarter. With the game tied at eight heading into the fourth, things looked promising. That was until Washington jumped out to an 11-8 lead at the 11:20 mark and Minnesota’s offense went cold. F Aaron Wilson (2g, 1a) recorded the team’s only goal in the fourth.

2010 GAME SUMMARIES 2/13/10 • There was no love lost between the Swarm (2-4) and Washington Stealth (6-1) Saturday night as the Swarm came out with a huge 16-12 victory in front of 8,952 fans at Xcel Energy Center. It was a badly needed victory that puts the Swarm into a tie for the fourth and final playoff spot in the West. For the second week in a row, the West Division-rivals flaunted their muscle, this time with a bench-clearing brawl in the first half. After losing a tough one last week to Washington, Minnesota put together a complete game. F Aaron Wilson tallied eight points (2g, 6a); F Ryan Benesch notched six points (3g, 3a); F Tim Campeau scored four goals and G Kevin Croswell stopped 28 shots. 2/20/10 • Despite falling victim to an early 0-3 deficit midway through the first quarter Saturday night, G Nick Patterson managed to hold Colorado to just two goals in the remaining 52 minutes and 30 seconds of the game to give the Swarm (3-4) a 15-5 victory in front of 9,223 fans at Xcel Energy Center.

Last week’s win set a franchise record for the Swarm’s greatest margin of victory, defeating Colorado by 10 points. That would not be the case Saturday night as Colorado came out with something to prove. Down 12-11 with two minutes to play, F Ryan Benesch (2g, 2a) and F Tim Campeau (2g, 3a) iced Colorado with two goals for another Swarm victory. Minnesota extended its winning streak to three games and have climbed back to the .500 mark after a rough 1-4 start.

Goals from F Tim Campaeu (2g, 3a) and F Kevin Ross (1g, 1a) cut the Wings lead to 17-11 with 7:39 remaining.

2010 GAME SUMMARIES On defense, G Nick Patterson rebounded in a big way after a tough outing Philadelphia, stopping a career-high 59 shots. The sixth-year Swarm veteran single handedly killed several Roughneck power play chances through out the game and held Calgary to six goals in the second half, despite seeing 40 shots. Forwards Sean Pollock (2g, 3a) and Kevin Ross (3g) put together their best scoring nights on the season and F Aaron Wilson (4g, 2a) recorded three of his four goals in the first half. As a team, Minnesota converted on five of its sixpower play chances and finished the game with a .472 SOG%. For the first three quarters the game remained close. Both teams battled back and forth, while scoring the same amount of goals in all three quarters. That all changed in the fourth quarter, when the Swarm outscored the Roughnecks 7-3. 3/27/10 • In the second of back-to-back road games this weekend, the National Lacrosse League’s (NLL) Minnesota Swarm (5-6) couldn’t recover from an early deficit, losing to the Edmonton Rush (7-4), 16-14, in front of 6,200 fans Saturday night at Rexall Place. F Aaron Wilson led the Swarm with nine points (3g, 6a). The Swarm dug itself into a hole early and could never fully recover. After F Callum Crawford (3g, 4a) tallied his 19th goal of the season just one minute into the game, Edmonton exploded for six unanswered. Both teams set a blistering pace to start the game, totaling 17 goals in the first half. 4/3/10 •The Minnesota Swarm (5-7) suffered a heart-breaking overtime loss against the Edmonton Rush (9-4), 13-12, in front of 8,935 fans Saturday night at Xcel Energy Center. Decked out in their commemorative pink and black jerseys, Minnesota came out hard behind the home crowd on a night where the NLL aimed to increase breast cancer awareness through promotions, donations and support. After F Aaron Wilson (2g, 3a) buried a rebound for the first goal, the Swarm held a lead

all game until the final 14 seconds when Edmonton’s Gavin Prout (2g, 2a) tied the game, sending it to overtime.Edmonton’s Brodie Merril (3g, 2a) scored the game-winner in overtime to cap a six-goal fourth-quarter rally. The Swarm still hold a playoff spot and will have a chance to clinch next weekend. F Callum Crawford’s (5g, 5a) five goals tied Minnesota’s single-game goals record and his 10 points fell one short of the Swarm’s franchise record. Crawford continues to shatter his career-high numbers. His 10 points on the night gives him the team lead with 73, overtaking Wilson’s 69. 4/9/10 • The Swarm (5-8) remained in hot pursuit of playoff lacrosse. After falling in the final minutes to the Rochester Knighthawks (6-7) by a score of 12-11 Friday night in front of 9,193 fans at Xcel Energy Center, the Swarm could still punch their playoff tickets with a win and one Colorado loss Saturday night. In only his 13th game with the Minnesota Swarm, F Callum Crawford set the franchise record for points in a single season, notching six on the night (2g, 4a). Crawford, who was named NLL Offensive Player of the Week after his 10-point performance (5g, 5a) last Saturday, tied the franchise single-season scoring record in the second quarter with a gritty individual effort, driving to the net and burying his 27th of the year. Just minutes later, he snatched the record all to himself with a blast from the point. Andy Secore, who now plays for the Edmonton Rush, held the previous record with 76 points (28g, 48a) in 2008. Crawford isn’t the only one chasing records: F Aaron Wilson (3g, 3a) remains hot on his tail with 75 points (32g, 43a) and is one tally shy of the single-season goals record (33). D Rich Morgan made his presence felt all night, helping start a late rally by drawing a penalty with another one of his monster hits.

2010 GAME SUMMARIES 4/10/10 • The Swarm (5-9) staged another late rally Saturday night, but suffered a 13-8 defeat on the road against the Boston Blazers (7-7) in front of 10,032 fans at TD Garden. Boston was up 9-4 in the third quarter before the Swarm found some of Friday’s fourth-quarter magic, when they rallied from three goals behind during their 12-11 loss to Rochester. Saturday’s five-goal deficit proved too much for Minnesota, who still managed to score four unanswered to momentarily pressure Boston for the lead. The Swarm landed 54 shots but Blazers G Anthony Cosmo was stellar, stopping 46 for the victory. F Sean Pollock (2g, 0a), who became the Swarm’s all-time leading goal scorer (118) Friday night, scored two clutch goals early in the fourth quarter to pull the Swarm within one. Boston F Nick Cotter (4g, 2a) tallied a natural hat trick in the fourth quarter to seal the deal. F Dan Dawson (2g, 4a), F Daryl Veltman (2g, 4a) and F Mat Giles (2g, 4a) posted identical numbers to round out the Blazers offense. 4/17/10 • The playoff-bound Minnesota Swarm (5-10) couldn’t seal the deal Saturday night, losing in overtime to the Philadelphia Wings (5-10) by a score of 13- 12 in front of 9,229 fans at Xcel Energy Center. With less than three minutes left in the 11-11 tie game, the Swarm put on a clinic in its offensive zone with tic-tac-toe passing and a quick finish from F Sean Pollock to take the lead. Philadelphia answered with less than one minute left, sending the game into sudden-death overtime before F Geoff Snider (4g, 3a) scored the game winner three minutes into the extra frame. Minnesota held a lead throughout most of the game. After falling behind by a three-goal deficit early in the first quarter, the Swarm looked like a playoff team to be reckoned with. F Sean Pollock (2g, 3a), the Swarm’s all-time leading goal scorer, sparked a first-quarter rally that brought life to Xcel Energy Center. Pollock, who set the franchise record last Friday, got the Swarm on the scoreboard with an upper-corner snipe. F Ryan

Benesch (3g, 2a) and F Callum Crawford (1g, 3a) followed with some timely goals to help the Swarm build momentum and eventually a lead they held until the very end.Forwards Callum Crawford, Aaron Wilson and Ryan Benesch have consistently ranked among the NLL’s top 10 leading scorers. On Saturday night, they continued setting career highs. F Aaron Wilson (3g, 3a) added to his franchise record 38 goals in a single season, posting six points (3g, 3a). With one game to play in the regular season, Wilson hangs close behind Crawford for the team’s scoring lead with 85 points (38g, 47a) on the year. 4/24/10 • The Minnesota Swarm (5-11) suffered their fifth one-goal defeat of the season, this time to the Eastern Division champion Orlando Titans (11-5) in overtime by a score of 12-11 in front of 10,768 fans at Xcel Energy Center. The Titans have ended Minnesota’s season in each of the last two years, beating the Swarm in the first round of the 2008 NLL Playoffs and again on the final game of the 2009 regular season. Saturday night’s overtime goal by Orlando’s Chad Thompson (1g, 1a) only ended the Swarm’s regular seaon, as Minnesota will begin the first round of playoff action next weekend against the Washington Stealth. It didn’t take long for the Swarm to make a statement early in this one. Team MVP Callum Crawford (3g, 4a) motored his way to the net only 14 seconds into the game for his 30th goal of the year. Crawford’s opening goal ties the franchise record for the fastest goal to open a game. He also finished the season second overall in the NLL points race, setting a franchise record with 96 points (32g, 64a). F Aaron Wilson (2g, 2a) reached the 40-goal plateau in the third quarter, adding to his franchise record for goals in a single season and further increasing his career high in points with 89. Wilson ranked fifth overall in the NLL points race late Saturday night.

ABOUT THE NLL WHAT IS THE NLL?

The league played its inaugural game in January of 1987, and was first known as the Eagle Pro Box Lacrosse League. In 1988, the name was changed to the Major Indoor Lacrosse League (MILL). The MILL became the National Lacrosse League (NLL) following the 1997 season. All of the statistics and records in this book encompass all 24 seasons of the league’s existence. Therefore, a League Record is one that covers all three names and the league’s entire 24-year history. A complete timeline of the major events in league history can be found in this book. The National Lacrosse League plays indoor lacrosse. The game is a hybrid, combining parts of box lacrosse (played inside the confines of an ice hockey rink on a turf surface or concrete surface, more prevalent in Canada) with field lacrosse (played on an outdoor field, either on grass or turf, more prevalent in the United States). Indoor lacrosse was designed to combine the most exciting elements of box and field lacrosse. The game is played inside the confines of an ice hockey rink, with glass and rink boards intact. The playing surface is artificial turf, which is placed directly over the arena’s ice surface. Each team plays with five runners and a goaltender. The combination of the confined playing area and the physical play leads many fans to describe indoor lacrosse as “like hockey, on foot, with more scoring.” 25 goals are scored in the average NLL game. Indoor lacrosse is similar to basketball in terms of its frequent scoring, use of a shot clock (30 seconds), and use of the over-and-back rule. When teams are on offense, they often spread the floor and pass the ball around in a manner similar to that of basketball.

where the first team to score wins the game. There are no tie games and there are no points or credit awarded for an “overtime loss” in the NLL. The standings and team records are strictly Wins-Losses. Each team plays a 16-game regular season schedule. The NLL schedule is structured in a similar fashion to that of the National Football League. All games are played on the weekends. The weekends of the schedule are numbered. Opening weekend of the season is Week #1. As the League has grown, so has the schedule. Here is a look at schedule growth in recent League history: 1996: 10-game schedule 1997: 12-game schedule 2001: 14-game schedule 2002: 16-game schedule The Champion’s Cup Playoffs are single-game elimination. An explanation of the Playoff Format can be found on the next page.

THE PLAYERS OF THE NLL

Each team consists of a 23-man roster. On game day, the head coach chooses eighteen of the twenty-three players to play in the game. The other six are scratched from the lineup, similar to hockey. Of the 18 players, 16 are runners (forwards or defensemen) and two are goaltenders. Each team has five runners and a goaltender on the floor during the game. Of the five runners, teams traditionally use three forwards and two defensemen. In the waning moments of the game, the team trailing will often opt to pull the goaltender for an extra runner.

The NLL game is also played in four quarters, each 15 minutes in length. Games that are tied at the end of regulation are decided in overtime,

ABOUT THE NLL Minor and major penalties during the game lead to power plays of two minutes and five minutes, respectively. A 30-second shot clock is used to keep the action moving. The clock resets after a shot on goal, or a change of possession. The National Lacrosse League features the best lacrosse talent in the world. Approximately 75% of the League’s players are from Canada. The majority of these players grew up playing box lacrosse in Canada’s Junior Lacrosse program. Box lacrosse is played inside the confines of an ice hockey rink, with the glass and boards intact. The playing surface is concrete. In cities and towns across Canada, box lacrosse is a popular sport to play in the spring and summertime months, when the ice is removed from the local hockey rink. Many of the League’s Canadian players grew up playing ice hockey during the fall and winter months, and then played box lacrosse at their hometown rinks during the spring and summer months. There are two “hotbed” areas that produce the greatest concentration of lacrosse talent in Canada. The province of Ontario, especially within 75 miles/125 kilometers radius of the city of Toronto. Approximately one half of the League’s players are from this region. The other is in the province of British Columbia, within a radius of 50 miles/75 kilometers to the city of Vancouver. Approximately one-fourth of the League’s players are from this region. NLL expansion into Calgary has led to a surge in youth participation in the province of Alberta and other areas of Western Canada. Media members and team media relations officers will often refer to a Canadian player’s junior lacrosse experience prior to joining the NLL. The following is a partial list of teams in the Ontario Lacrosse Association and British Columbia Junior Lacrosse League. The two leagues produce a

considerable share of the league’s players. The League also features the top college lacrosse talent in the United States. The “hotbeds” of US lacrosse talent are primarily in the Northeast. The Baltimore-Washington DC region, Long Island, and upstate New York are the primary areas. The game of lacrosse is also emerging at the scholastic level in regions across the country, including the San Francisco Bay Area, Denver, St. Louis, and Texas. The players who have excelled in the traditional outdoor or field lacrosse setting take their skills and converting them to the indoor game. The major adjustments an outdoor player makes when going to the indoor game are: A smaller goal to shoot on. The outdoor goal is six feet high and six feet wide. The indoor goal is four feet high and four feet and nine inches wide. The goalies of the indoor game also wear more equipment, taking away more of the shooting space than an outdoor goalie. A faster moving game. With a smaller playing surface and 30-second shot clock, the pace of the NLL game is faster than the pace of field lacrosse. The League also has a prominent contingent of Native American players. These players are primarily from the Six Nations of Ontario, and from several tribes in Western and Central parts of upstate New York. Native American players make up approximately six percent of the player pool in the NLL. The great majority of the League’s players have full-time jobs during the week. Many of the League’s fans will tell you they enjoy a closeness to the players because they have everyday jobs like they do. Some of the teams use this bond as part of their marketing appeal to the fans.

Breakaway – One-on-one scoring opportunity with the offensive player and the goaltender.

Cradling (the ball) - The back and forward motion of the stick with the ball in the pocket. The cradling keeps the ball inside the pocket, making it difficult for the defender to dislodge or take it away.

Crease - Nine-foot radius area which surrounds the goals at each end of the playing surface. A goal is disallowed if a player scores while standing inside this area or steps on the line that defines the crease.

Cross Check - Using the shaft of the stick between his hands, the defensive player tries to push on the opponent’s arm forcing a poor pass or shot.

Face-Off - At the start of the game, any quarter of play, and after a goal is scored, the ball is placed in the center circle and two opposing players face each other in a scrum of possession. Goal - Awarded to the last player on the scoring club to touch the ball prior to the ball entering the net.

Hidden Ball Play – A player without the ball starts to cradle his stick drawing the attention of the defense while another teammate candidly passes the ball or shoots. Loose Ball – There is no possession and the ball is bouncing, rolling or rebound off the boards or goaltender.

Major Penalty – Five minutes in length. Penalty time expires on the scoring of two goals, but penalized player must remain in penalty box for full five minutes.

Man Down – A team is considered this, or short-

Pick - Legal interference by an offensive player from a set position on a defensive player who is playing defense on the ball carrier. If two players execute the pick, it is referred to as a double pick.

Power Play - When a team has a(n extra) man advantage because of a penalty situation against the opposing team. Power plays can take the form of five-on-four, fiveon-three, or four-on-three. Following are some examples of what is and is not considered a power-play goal: • If a club scores on a delayed penalty, the goal is not a power-play goal. • If a club has an advantage due to a five-minute major penalty, that club is always credited with having one more advantage than the number of power-play goals it scores during that advantage; because the penalty does not expire, a new advantage begins after such a powerplay goal. For example, if Team A scores one goal during a major penalty, it is credited with two advantages. • If a club is on a power play for any length of time, it is considered to have had an advantage. • A double minor constitutes two opportunities.

Screen Shot - A shot on goal that is difficult for the goaltender to see because of the high amount of player traffic in front of the crease area. Short-Handed Goal - scored by a club while it is at a manpower disadvantage due to a penalty. Shot On Goal - if a player shoots the ball with the intention of scoring and if that shot would have gone in the net had the goaltender not stopped it, the shot is recorded as a shot “on goal”. Shots which hit either of the goalposts or the crossbar are also credited as a shot on goal.

NLL RULES Rosters – 23-man roster, each team dresses 18 players for games (16 runners and two goalies). A team shall be composed of six (6) players on the floor, who are under contract to the club they represent. Time Format – Four 15-minute quarters; two minutes between quarters; 12 minute halftime. Time Outs – Each team may take two 45-second timeouts per half. Sudden-Death Overtime – Games ending regulation play with a tie score are decided by sudden death overtime period five minutes in length. Play continues until a goal is scored. More than one overtime period is played if necessary. 10-Second Violation – Occurs when team on offense fails to advance the ball past midfield within 10 seconds after taking possession at their end. Face-Offs – To determine possessions at the start of each quarter and after every goal, two players face their sticks at midfield with a referee placing the ball between the heads of the sticks. Shot Clock – A 30-second clock begins (counting down) when a team assumes possession of the ball. The offensive team must put a shot on goal during that time or they will lose possession. If they do shoot on goal (without scoring) and recover possession of the ball (via rebound/ loose ball recovery), the clock is reset for a new 30 seconds. Minor Penalties – On two-minute personal fouls, the penalized player is released from the penalty box if a goal is scored before the expiration of the penalty. Major Penalties – On five-minute major personal fouls, the penalized player stays in the box for the duration of the penalty, though the offending team returns to full strength if two goals are scored against them during the five minutes. When a second major penalty is imposed on the same player in a game, an automatic game misconduct penalty shall be imposed.

Use of Penalty Shot – Since a team cannot be more than two men down at a time, if a third penalty is called, the official will award a penalty shot to the unpenalized team. Ejection From Game – Players can be ejected from a game for several reasons including being the third man participating in an altercation in which there is a penalty assessed or accumulating two major penalties in one game. Slow Whistle (Delayed Penalty) – If a defending player commits a personal or major penalty against an opponent in possession of the ball where there is offensive momentum and the opponent doesn’t lose possession, the official raises his hand and does not blow the whistle until a shot is taken, the 30-second shot clock expires, a goal is scored or possession is lost. Coincidental Penalties – When each team is given the same amount of penalty time arising out of the same incident, the offending players shall not be released until the expiration of the penalty. Teams do not lose floor strength, and the ball is awarded to the team who was in possession prior to the fouls. Field & Goals – Indoor lacrosse is played on a hockey rink covered by an artificial turf playing surface, which is usually referred to as the floor or the carpet (as opposed to the field). There must be boards around the sides of a minimum height of 3’ high. Dimensions are 200’ x 85’ but may be altered. Goals are 4’ (high) x 4’9” (wide). The circle around the goal known as the crease is 9’3” in diameter. An offensive player is not allowed to intentionally step into the crease area. The large box around the crease is the offensive/ defensive zone. Any penalty called against a defender in this area by an official is accompanied by a raised hand followed by a whistle blown only after the offensive scoring opportunity has ended.

HOW TO FIGURE... by the total number of shorthanded situations.

Assist - An assist is awarded to the player or players (maximum of two) who touched the ball prior to the goal, provided no defender plays or possesses the ball in between.

Power-Play Percentage - Total number of power-play goals divided by total number of power-play opportunities.

Game Played - A player receives credit for playing in a game if: 1.) he steps on the turf during time played or; 2.) serves any penalty.

Save Percentage - Subtract goals allowed (GA) from shots against (SA) to determine saves. Then divide saves by shotsagainst.

Game-Winning Goal - After the final score has been determined, the goal which leaves the winning Club one goal ahead of its opponent is the game-winning goal (example: if Team A beats Team B 8-3, the player scoring the fourth goal for Team A receives credit for the game-winning goal).

Shooting Percentage - Divide the number of goals scored by the number of shots taken.

Game-Tying Goal - The final goal in a tie game. Goal - A goal is awarded to the last player on the scoring Club to touch the ball prior to the ball entering the net. Goals-Against Average - Multiply goals allowed (GA) by 60 and divide by minutes played (MINS). Goaltender of Record - A goaltender receives a win, tie or loss if he is on the turf when either the game-winning or gametying goal is scored. Penalty-Killing Pct. - Subtract total number of power-play goals allowed from total number of shorthanded situations to get total number of power-plays killed. Divide the total number of power-plays killed

102

Short-Handed Goal - A goal scored by a Club while it is at a manpower disadvantage. The same cases apply for shorthand as for power-play goals, but in the opposite manner. Shot on Goal - If a player shoots the ball with the intention of scoring and if that shot would have gone in the net had the goaltender not stopped it, the shot is recorded as a “shot on goal”. Shutout - If two goaltenders combine for a shutout, neither receives credit for the shutout. Instead it is recorded as a Club shutout. Tenths of a Second - If a penalty or goal occurs in the last minute, the time is rounded off to the previous second (ex: if a penalty is called with 12.4 seconds left in a period, the time is indicated as 19:47 and not 19:48.

LACROSSE FOR LIFE CAMP After the first ever “Lax-4-Life” camp concluded on the Fond du Lac Reservation in Northeastern Minnesota, smiles were abundant among campers, staff and community members who participated in the weeklong camp. And after spending hours learning the fundamentals of lacrosse, a sense of accomplishment from an athletic standpoint had only a portion to do with all the excitement. More importantly through the game of lacrosse, tribes miles apart were united and a rich tradition to the Native people was rekindled. “We told these kids at the beginning of the camp that lacrosse was in their blood whether they knew it or not,” said Swarm defenseman Travis Hill. “We came out here to revitalize that interest in their blood and they it showed it too. They were just naturals when they picked up a stick and knew exactly what to do with it.” Hill, who has spent his entire career in Minnesota and is one of the league’s most recognized Native American players, was thrilled when the camp finally hit the ground running. “We are actually starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It put a big smile on my face knowing that this camp is actually happening and that we are making a difference in these communities.” Hill along with Swarm Assistant Coach Aime Caines directed the camp, which ran from July 26-30 and featured 26 campers from five different reservations in Minnesota and Wisconsin. For many kids, this was the first time a lacrosse stick had been placed in their hands. “These kids were amazing,” said Caines. “In all of the camps I’ve ever done, especially with beginners, these kids picked up the sport the fastest. We were able to have a full contact scrimmage at the end of the camp where the kids were able to showcase all the skills they learned this week. That was rewarding to see.” Even when the campers were away from the field, Caines was impressed with the groups’ mentality towards improving their skills. “We would go back to the campsite and all the kids would have a stick in their hands practicing stick moves. As beginners they were doing stuff you never thought they could do. They were throwing and catching balls behind their back and balancing the ball on their stick. I think it just feels natural for them.” The campers stayed overnight at the University of Minnesota’s Forestry Center and then traveled to the Brookston Community Center for daily camp activities. While out on the field, basic fundamentals were stressed such as proper stick grip, shooting, passing, and collecting loose balls. More strategic play such as pick and rolls, skill moves and team play were introduced as the camp progressed. Swarm Co-Owner and Vice President Andy Arlotta spearheaded the Swarm’s efforts to re-connect the Native people with their ancestral game. At the camps’ end, Arlotta made it clear that his vision stretches far beyond last week’s events. “My vision is to get an all Native American team playing at all levels in the state,” said Arlotta. “Whether it’s youth, high school, or outdoor. We want them competing in the Swarm Youth Box League as well.” Arlotta also had a special message for the camper’s after they had just finished their final five-on-five scrimmage of the week. “I want to draft you guys to come to play for the Minnesota Swarm one day,” Arlotta told the group. Each camper also walked away with two top of the line Harrow lacrosse sticks valued at $140 a piece, with the intention being that they can use one for themselves and one to share with someone in their communities to help grow the sport.

Xcel Energy Center has been recognized as one of the best venues worldwide for sporting events, concerts and family shows. ESPN The Magazine has twice ranked the eight-year-old venue No. 1 for “Best Stadium Experience”(2003, 2007). Xcel Energy Center was named “Best NHL Arena” by SportsBusiness Journal/ SportsBusiness Daily in its 2006 Reader Survey and recognized for the “Best Fan Experience” by Forbes magazine in its 2006 “Business of Hockey” report. Sports Illustrated named the arena its “top choice” among NHL buildings in its 2006 NHL Preview issue. In addition to hockey, Xcel Energy Center has been nominated six times (2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007) for “Arena of the Year” by leading concert-industry publication Pollstar magazine.

Xcel Energy Center is in the midst of an incredible year. In addition to hosting the 2008 U.S. Figure Skating Championships this past January, the arena welcomed the 2008 Republican National Convention from Sep. 1-4. Other major events previously hosted by the facility include the 2004 NHL All-Star Weekend, 2004 International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Cup of Hockey, 2006 U.S. Gymnastics National Championships and the 2002 NCAA Men’s Frozen Four, which will return in 2011. Each spring, Xcel Energy Center becomes Minnesota’s epicenter of activity, hosting five straight weeks of athletic tournaments. Two of the most storied events include the Minnesota State High School League Boys’ Hockey Tournament and the Western Collegiate Hockey Association Red Baron Final Five. Attendance marks are routinely broken as hockey-crazed fans clamor for tickets to these destination events each year. The first-ever concert at Xcel Energy Center featured the Barenaked Ladies and The Corrs on Sept. 30, 2000. To date, some of the world’s most legendary performers have performed at Xcel Energy Center, including the Police, the Rolling Stones, Barbra Streisand, Paul McCartney, Pavarotti, Elton John, Billy Joel, Rod Stewart, Tim McGraw & Faith Hill, Kenny Chesney, Neil Diamond, Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Bon Jovi, Simon & Garfunkel, and three consecutive sold-out shows by hometown-favorite, Prince. In addition to the great concerts and sporting events, many incredible family shows pass through Xcel Energy Center each year, including favorites like the World’s Toughest Rodeo, Smucker’s Stars on Ice, Disney Live! and Disney On Ice. Xcel Energy Center is owned by the City of Saint Paul and managed by the Saint Paul Arena Company, an affiliate of Minnesota Sports & Entertainment. For more information, visit xcelenergycenter.com.
