Mammoth Trades for Another Pioneer Alum
March 31, 2015 - National Lacrosse League (NLL)
Colorado Mammoth News Release
DENVER - With the trade deadline looming at 1pm MT on Tuesday afternoon, the Colorado Mammoth acquired University of Denver alumnus Cam Flint from the Minnesota Swarm in exchange for second- and third-round picks in the 2016 NLL Entry Draft, pending league approval.
"I loved watching Cam play for the Pioneers and I enjoyed getting to know him last summer at the World Lacrosse Championships," said Mammoth president & general manager Steve Govett. "Cam's game fits extremely well with what our coaches are trying to accomplish."
Flint won a gold medal for Team Canada in July. He joins six national team members on the Mammoth roster, including former college teammate Jeremy Noble who Colorado acquired earlier this month.
The Ontario native was the fourth-overall selection in the 2013 NLL Entry Draft by Minnesota. Colorado goaltender Dillon Ward was taken third.
In 11 games played in his rookie season in 2014, Flint recorded 33 loose balls and nine forced turnovers. He chipped in with a goal and an assist.
A captain and four-year starter at DU, Flint was the first Pioneer in school history to earn First-Team All-American honors from the USILA. He currently resides in Denver.
Colorado and Calgary play a home-and-home this weekend in a match-up that could clinch a playoff berth for the Mammoth. Tickets to Friday's game are on sale now at ColoradoMammoth.com.
