December 2004 Updates


November 2004 | Current Month | Other Months | January 2005

  • 12/30/04 - The Swarm Make One Roster Move Before Opener

    The Minnesota Swarm released rookie defenseman Michael Kilby and signed forward Jayme Bryde. Bryde was released on December 20th right before the roster deadline but it looks like the Swarm want a bit more offense for the opener in Rochester against the Knighthawks. The Swarm also added defenseman Travis Hill to the practice roster. The Swarm can add two more for a max of three at any time during the season.

  • 12/21/04 - 23-Man 2005 Minnesota Swarm Roster

    The Minnesota Swarm announced their 23-man roster for the upcoming season beginning January 1, 2005 in Rochester, NY.

    The Minnesota Swarm traveled to Arizona to play the Sting in their final pre-season game and fell 16-13. Kerry Susheski had two goals and three assists while Chad Culp had a goal and four assists. The Swarm finished 1-2 and will finalize their roster by December 21st for the opener in Rochester on New Year's Day.

  • 12/16/04 - 2005 Minnesota Swarm Schedule 2.0

    With the Vancouver Ravens not playing in the 2005 season due to arena unavailability, the NLL was left with ten teams and needed to revise the 2005 schedule. The Anaheim Storm road game on February 13th was moved to April 9th. The road game in Toronto was removed and replaced by a road trip to San Jose to play the Stealth on January 22nd. The home game on April 1st will be against Colorado instead of Vancouver.

  • 12/15/04 - The Vancouver Ravens Will Not Play in 2005 and Their Players Are Dispersed

    The National Lacrosse League announced that the Vancouver Ravens will not participate in the 2005 season as they were unable to get a lease agreement for an arena this season. A new schedule will be drawn up and their players were dispersed in a draft. When a team drafted one of the former Ravens, they had to release a player from their own roster. In the link above, you can find out who the Swarm drafted from the Ravens and who they had to let go to do so.
