Rochester Knighthawks News Release


The five-time National Lacrosse League Champion Rochester Knighthawks are partnering with the 2014 Empire State Cup to promote the game of lacrosse throughout New York. The 2014 event will be played from Thursday, July 31 through Sunday, August 3 in Syracuse. The High School Girls tournament will be held at Onondaga Community College and both Boys tournaments will be held at Sunnycrest Park.

"The Rochester Knighthawks and our owner Curt Styres are happy to support the Empire State Cup," said Knighthawks President Lewis Staats. "We are always ready to support any organization or event that promotes and helps grow the game of lacrosse."

"The Empire State Cup organizing committee is extremely excited about the support that the Rochester Knighthawks will provide for this year's event. The Knighthawks' organization continues to prove their commitment to the growth of the game, not only in the Rochester region, but throughout the entire state of New York," said Empire State Cup's Tony Ventiquattro. "Our committee looks forward to both the summer event, as well as the fall indoor tournament. The support of the Knighthawks will greatly assist in the overall success of both events and we look forward to working with them this year."

This year's tournament includes two new divisions, High School Girls (rising grades 9-12) and Developmental Boys (rising grades 6-8). Tryout information for the six regions are listed below. To register visit the registration page HERE. https://esc10001005.sportssignup.com/

Although not mandatory, the Empire State Cup suggests players attend all sessions. If you are unable to participate please inform the coaches. It is not uncommon for regions to add additional tryout sessions in the event players are not able to attend. Those who wish to participate, but are unable to attend the tryouts, please notify Tony Ventiquattro via email (tony@empirestatecup.com) or by phone at (315) 408-8260.

The Empire State Cup will also launch an indoor tournament through a partnership with U.S. Indoor Lacrosse (USIL). The second Empire State Cup event will be held in October.
