DENVER - Veteran defenseman Pat Coyle re-signed with the Colorado Mammoth on Thursday, agreeing to a one-year contract with the National Lacrosse League champions.

Coyle is a veteran of 10 NLL seasons and won his fifth championship with the Mammoth in 2006 after winning four with the Toronto Rock. The Mammoth assistant captain is among the league's top defenders each year and routinely draws the assignment of covering the opposition's best forwards. He is a four-time All-Star and in 2002 was named the league's best defenseman and first-team All-Pro.

"The leadership, experience and toughness Pat brings to our team is invaluable," Mammoth general manager Steve Govett said. "He's one of the best defenders ever to play in this league and has been a huge part of our success."

Coyle, 37, is a 6-foot, 220-pound native of Orangeville, Ontario. He has twice led the NLL in penalty minutes (1998 and 2001) and his 357 career penalty minutes rank second in league history. He played both collegiate hockey and lacrosse at the Rochester Institute of Technology and lives in Coquitlam, British Columbia.
