Arizona Sting News Release
GLENDALE, ARIZONA --- Arizona Sting Head Coach and General Manager Bob Hamley announced Monday that he has made a trade with the East Division's Buffalo Bandits. The Sting will send forward Jason Crosbie to Buffalo in exchange for a fourth round pick at the 2007 NLL Entry Draft and forward Lindsay Plunkett.
"We're happy to be bringing Lindsay back to our organization," said Hamley. "He was a big part of our team last year and has a lot of offensive talent. Our offense has been struggling somewhat lately, so hopefully he can provide a spark on our attack."
Plunkett was a member of the 2005 Sting team that captured the West Division Championship. He was dealt over the off-season to Buffalo and has amassed 9G-9A-18P in 7 games thus far in 2006. In 12 games for the Sting last season, the 6'3", 210 lb. forward registered 14G-22A-36P in 12 games. In the playoffs, Plunkett tallied 4G-10A-14P in 3 games. A native of Peterborough, Ontario, he is currently in his fifth professional season.
In 9 games for the Sting this season, Crosbie has registered 12G-29A-41P. The sixth year pro played three seasons in Buffalo from 2003-2005.
