New York Lizards News Release


Garden City, NY - The nine teams of Major League Lacrosse today completed the Supplemental Draft for the 2016 season. The New York Lizards added 12 players to their roster in preparation for the season.

With their first pick of the draft, 18th overall, the Lizards selected Midfielder Jordan Hall.

"Jordan is someone who has proven that he produce as a big time scorer and playmaker," said Lizards Head Coach, Joe Spallina. "We are excited to have him playing this upcoming summer."

Other notable pickups from the draft include Cody Jamieson and Michael Kimmel.

Among other transaction activity today, the Lizards completed a trade with the Charlotte Hounds sending goalie Charlie Cipriano to Charlotte for a third round 2016 Collegiate Draft pick (24th overall).

"Trading Charlie was not an easy move. He proved to be a great teammate," said Spallina. "This will provide Charlie with the great opportunity to start in Charlotte - an opportunity he deserves."

These 12 new players will join the rest of the Lizards team when training camp kicks off in mid-April. New York's 2016 season will start on Saturday, April 23rd at James M. Shuart Stadium in a Championship rematch against the Rochester Rattlers.
