San Diego Seals News Release
(SAN DIEGO) - The San Diego Seals announced today the active 21-man roster for the team's inaugural season.
The 21-man active roster is highlighted by veteran leadership and a young, athletic core. Future hall-of-famers Brodie Merrill and Dan Dawson will help lead the Seals in their inaugural season.
Five NLL Entry Draft picks, including Austin Staats (who was selected first overall), earned their spots on the final roster. Seven players taken in the NLL Expansion Draft made the team, including starting goaltender Frank Scigliano [pronounced shill-ee-AHH-no].

There were a lot of difficult decisions we had to make. We're putting what we believe will be a competitive roster on the floor this season."
