New York Riptide Acquire Scott Dominey from Panther City Lacrosse Club in Trade
June 29, 2021 - National Lacrosse League (NLL)
New York Riptide News Release
Uniondale, NY - The New York Riptide have acquired defenseman Scott Dominey from Panther City Lacrosse Club in exchange for forward Dawson Theede, the team announced today.
Dominey was selected by Panther City Lacrosse Club in the 2021 NLL Expansion Draft from the Toronto Rock. In nine games for the Toronto Rock last season, Dominey scored seven points on six goals and an assist, including two game winning goals. Dominey also scooped 32 loose balls and caused four turnovers.
"We feel this trade is good for both teams," Riptide General Manager Jim Veltman said. "Even though we would have liked to witness Dawson's skills at training camp, the addition of Scott gives us a much-needed transition player. He brings skills we can build into our defense and he is a constant breakaway threat in transition that opponents must be mindful of. New York fans will love his work ethic within the defensive zone and his explosiveness out of it. He is a welcome addition to our organization."
Selected 57th overall by the Rock in the 2018 NLL Entry Draft, the 6-foot lefthander had a 5-year career at Nippising of the CUFLA, where he was the scoring champion and East MVP in 2018. Dominey also was the CUFLA East Scoring champion in 2017, scoring a career-high 50 goals. Dominey also won the Founders Cup Canadian Jr. B Championship in 2016 and 2017 with Orangeville Jr. B Northmen.
The Riptide will return to Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum for the franchise's second season this December. Fans have a chance to be one of the first to own a player tee of 2020 first overall pick Jeff Teat! For a limited time, place a $50 deposit per seat on a Season Ticket Membership and receive a free Jeff Teat player t-shirt. While supplies last.
