Stealth re-signs veteran player Another vital piece to Vancouver’s offence is back for another season. The Vancouver Stealth has re-signed Dean Hill to a one year contract for the 2014 season. Hill will be entering his third season with the National Lacrosse League squad, which relocated from Everett, Wash. to Langley during the summer. Hill has played with four teams during his eight-year NLL career, competing in 89 career games during that span. He’s also put up some impressive numbers throughout his career, tallying 234 points (123 goals, 111 assists) and 202 loose balls in regular season and playoffs combined. With Hill’s addition, the Stealth secured another top six scorer for the 2014 season, “Dean is a savvy goal scorer who gives an added dimension to our offence,” Stealth president and general manager Doug Locker said. “He causes opposing defences lots of concern because when he has the ball he’s a threat.” Hill came to the Stealth in 2012 and couldn’t be happier about the opportunity to continue his career with the team. “I’m really happy to be back,” he said. “This is the team I want to play for. I was a restricted free agent and there was only one team I wanted to play with and that was Vancouver.” Hill is coming off a solid 2013 season, tallying 20 goals during the regular season, behind only Athan Iannucci (22), Lewis Ratcliff (31), and Rhys Duch (45) for most goals. Hill also finished sixth on the team in scoring with 38 points (20 goals, 18 assists) while adding another three points (one goal, two assists) in three playoff games with the Stealth. The 2014 season will bring a few changes, with the most significant being the Stealth’s move to Lower Mainland, but Hill is looking forward to the opportunity of playing in a new home and in his home country. “It’s pretty special to play in Canada. I’m from Ontario but I have family and friends here, so to get the opportunity to play in front of them is pretty special,” Hill said. The expectations are high and will remain high for a team that came one goal short of winning the Champions Cup (NLL title) last year and Hill knows that missed opportunity will help provide some extra motivation for the team. “I think our expectations are just like every team. We want to win that [NLL] championship game and I think we have the team to do it,” Hill said. The journey for another trip to the 2014 Champions Cup Final begins in Colorado on Jan. 4, followed by the Stealth’s home opener at the Langley Events Centre on Jan. 11 against the Minnesota Swarm.
