Reading Rockets News Release
Reading, PA - The Reading Rockets today announced their roster for the upcoming season. The Rockets enter their first season of play with twenty-one players and two goaltenders on the main roster and four players and a goaltender on the practice squad.
"We have a great group of guys here and a lot of talent," said Head Coach Tom Slate. "We're really looking forward to hitting the field and showing how competitive we can be."
The foundation for success for any lacrosse team is its goaltending, and the Rockets boast a trio of solid goalies. The trio is headed by 6'4", 188 pound Canadian Scotty Komer. The Toronto native comes to the Rockets as a veteran of Canadian box lacrosse leagues. Joining him in the crease will be Buffalo, NY native Findley Wilson. Big "Fins" has spent time in the Can-Am League, CLAX as well as the NLL. The third member of the goaltending trio is Philly-area native Chris Collins.
Reading's defense and transition group will have plenty of local flavor. Led by Philly-area natives Evan Swiker (6'3", 220), Jim Forsythe (6'3", 225), Julian Maliszewski (5'10", 210) and former Philly Wings player Brett Moyer (6', 190). Also on the back end are Josh Kacprzak (6'2", 220) and Brandon Turner (5'9", 190). The defense corps will be rounded out by Drexel University graduates Dana Wilber (6', 190) and Andrew Collins (5'11", 195). The transition group includes a pair of Rochester, NY natives in Ryan Maciaszek (6'1", 215) and Jake Davis (6', 175). Also in the group are locals Kevin Kaminski (6'2" 210), George Castle (6'1", 180), Rob Forster (6'1", 195) and Michael Adkins (6'2", 220).
On the attack, the Rockets will be led by Canadians Travis Bland (5'10", 185) and Brendan Muise (6'1", 190) as well as veterans Dan Deckelbaum (6', 200), Justin Otto (6'2", 205), Andrew Lazore (6'3", 210) and Andrew Wasik (6'2", 205).
