Stealth Acquire Playing Rights to Two-Time NLL Champion Ted Dowling
November 3, 2004 - National Lacrosse League (NLL)
San Jose Stealth News Release
SAN JOSE - San Jose Stealth Managing Director, General Manager and Head Coach Johnny Mouradian announced Monday the acquisition of the playing rights to forward Ted Dowling from the Calgary Roughnecks in exchange for a conditional draft pick.
Dowling, a 12-year National Lacrosse League veteran, has played with Calgary, Colorado, Montreal, Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, Boston and Detroit. He led the Roughnecks in goals last year with 38. He also added 27 assists for a total of 65 points. He helped Calgary win the Champion's Cup last season by notching 13 points in three playoff games (seven goals and six assists). He also won the cup in 1996 with the Buffalo Bandits.
The 5-foot-10, 190-pound native of Streetsville, Ontario has accumulated 548 points (306 goals and 242 assists) in 134 NLL games.
"We're happy with the acquisition of Dowling's rights," said Mouradian. "Ted and his wife are expecting their second child in February, so we're going to be patient and see how his personal life plays out to see if he decides to play on the Stealth this season."
The conditional pick works as follows: If Dowling plays a total of five games or more in the 2005 or 2006 season, Calgary will receive San Jose's first round selection in the 2006 Entry Draft. If Dowling plays less than five games in the 2005 or 2006 season, Calgary will receive San Jose's second round selection in the 2006 Entry Draft. If Dowling remains retired and does not play at all in the 2005 or 2006 season, Calgary will receive San Jose's third round selection in the 2006 Entry Draft.
