The Philadelphia Wings' Geoff Snider was named the NLL's January Rookie of the Month. Snider scored 13 points (6G, 7A), collected 53 loose balls and won 53 of 79 face-off attempts in five games during the month.

Geoff has all the tools to be a great player in this league for years to come."

Snider was drafted by the Wings in the first round (fourth overall) of the 2006 NLL Entry Draft. The 5'11" 200-pound transition player played his college lacrosse at the University of Denver.
