- 02/09/11 -Shewchuk Acquired from Mammoth for Campeau
Jamie Shewchuk |
Tim Campeau |
The Minnesota Swarm traded Tim Campeau and a second round pick in the 2011 Entry Draft to the Colorado Mammoth for lefthanded
forward Jamie Shewchuk and a fourth round pick in the 2012 Entry Draft.
Campeau, 26, had one goal and six assists in four games this year for the Swarm. Acquired in the Portland
LumberJax dispersal draft in July 2009. Last year with the Swarm, Campeau had 11 goals and 37 assists. He also had two game
winning goals including one in the last game the Swarm played the Mammoth on February 27, 2010.
Shewchuk, 25, is a lefty forward who is in his fifth year in the league. Drafted by the Mammoth with
the 25th pick in the 2006 NLL Entry Draft, Shewchuk was named to the 2007 NLL All-Rookie Team along with
Ryan Benesch. In 67 regular season games, Shewchuk has 109 goals and 142 assists and led the Mammoth in scoring in 2010. This
year, Shewchuk has five goals and ten assists in five games with the Mammoth. He also has
an impressive playoff line in three games, Shewchuk has seven goals and nine assists. He scored six game winners in Colorado and
had four points and four assists in a game against Minnesota on March 22, 2009. Shewchuk is from Edmonton, Alberta and lives in Denver
at this time.
With Zack Greer missing last week's game in Buffalo, possibly due to an injury he suffered against
Washington on January 29, 2011, the near future availablity of Greer is in question. So, it looks like Swarm General Manager
Marty O'Neill decided to add some scoring to the left side to help out Benesch and Shewchuk looks
like he may be a good fit and at 25, he is what Marty likes, young.
