Mohegan Wolves News Release


NEW LONDON, Conn. (December 17, 2002) – The arenafootball2 league office announced late last week that Damon Richardson, Eric Bouris and Cy Butler have been assigned to the Mohegan Wolves. All three players were valuable members of the New Haven Ninjas (af2).

Richardson is a 5-11, 185-pound defensive specialist from Southern Connecticut State University. He led the Ninjas in total tackles in 2002 with 65.5 overall in 12 games. Richardson also ranked second on the team in interceptions with six.

Bouris, a 6-8, 300-pound lineman from Concordia, was a big part of New Haven's offensive and defensive front. In 12 games with the Ninjas in 2002, he recorded three sacks and 13 total tackles.

Butler is a productive, 5-8, 175-pound offensive specialist who played in just one game with the Ninjas last season before injuring his Achilles. In that one game, however, the former University of Rhode Island product caught five passes for 108 yards and two touchdowns. Butler also recorded 58 kick return yards in the contest. As a collegian, he finished his career at URI as the school's all-time all-purpose yards leader with 5,380.

"We've just added three more quality football players, both on and off the field," Wolves Coach Mark Stoute said. "Richardson and Butler and very exciting and Bouris is a solid two-way lineman. All of them have af2 experience and will be part of a core group that will form the foundation of our team for next year."

In other team roster news, the af2 league office also announced the following transactions for the Wolves: FB/LB Ben Labelle and DS Troy Davidson have been activated from suspension and WR/DB Andrew Macaione, OL/DL Viral Keshwala and FB/LB Kenya Ware have been placed on re-assignment.

Catch the Wolves second season of hard-hitting action at the Mohegan Sun Arena, beginning in April. For information on holiday season ticket specials, please contact the Mohegan Wolves office at 860.443.1900 or visit them on the web at www.moheganwolves.com.
