DENVER - The Colorado Mammoth announced today that it has signed free agent goaltender Dan Lewis to a one-year deal. After reaching an agreement with forward Derek Hopcroft yesterday, Lewis is the Mammoth's second major acquisition this week.

"Dan has become one of the premier goalies in Canada and has the skill set to become a solid NLL player," said Mammoth President & General Manager Steve Govett. "At 22 years of age, Dan gives us a goaltender for the future of this franchise."

The Coquitlam, British Columbia native recorded an .824 save percentage and boasted an 8.60 goals-against-average (GAA) playing for the Burnaby Lakers in the Western Lacrosse Association this summer. The save percentage was third-best in the league, while Lewis's GAA was fourth. Lewis was the 61st and final selection in the 2010 NLL Entry Draft by the Washington Stealth, but was released by the team before the start of the 2011 season.

"Chris Levis was stellar in goal for us last season," said Govett. "We hope this proves to be an extremely strong mentorship program for the young netminder."

Colorado Mammoth season seats are on sale now and start at just $72. Reserve your seats today at ColoradoMammoth.com or by calling 303.405.1101.
