Colorado Mammoth News Release


DENVER - The Colorado Mammoth released its protected player list on Wednesday, designating the 14 players who will not be eligible for the National Lacrosse League expansion draft.

Among the Mammoth's protected players are forwards Gavin Prout, Brian Langtry and Dan Carey, defensemen Jamie Hanford, Jay Jalbert and John Gallant, and goaltender Gee Nash.

The expansion draft, held via conference call at 2 p.m. on July 12, will consist of 11 rounds. The league's two new entries, the Chicago Shamrox and the unnamed New York team, will each select up to 11 unprotected players from the league's current teams. Chicago, which received the first pick by winning a coin flip earlier this month, will select first in each round.

Each team was allowed to protect 13 runners and one goaltender, or 10 runners and two goaltenders. Once a player is selected in the expansion draft, his team's general manager can then protect an additional player who was previously available. Once a team has had two of its unprotected players selected, the remaining players on that team's list are no longer available for selection.
