San Jose Stealth News Release
PLEASANTON, CA -The San Jose Stealth indoor professional lacrosse team (www.sjstealth.com) has signed two players - Peter Veltman and Sean Morris - to one-year contracts, it was announced today.
The Stealth landed Veltman and Morris in the NLL Dispersal Draft after Boston and Arizona opted to suspend their operations for one season. San Jose selected Veltman from Arizona with the 7th pick in the first round and Morris, the talented left hander, from Boston in the second round (18th overall).
"Peter Veltman was exactly what we were looking for to compliment our team. He has the ability to play as a forward or in a transition role and brings Championship game experience, grit and great skills to San Jose. That leadership will be an asset in our locker room," Stealth Assistant General Manager Doug Locker said. "Sean Morris is a tough competitor and a very talented athlete. He was an outstanding player at the University of Massachusetts and we feel he has both the skills and the desire to be a very good player in the NLL."
Veltman played in nine games for Arizona in 2007 and recorded four goals and 10 assists while winning 43 faceoffs. Morris, one of the nation's top collegiate players at the UMass, was the third overall pick by the Chicago Machine of Major League Lacrosse in 2006. He played in all 12 games in 2007 and finished second on the team in scoring with 39 points, including a team-high 23 assists. This will be his first year playing indoor lacrosse.
