The Rochester Knighthawks have re-signed forward Ken Millin to a two-year deal. The Knighthawks also inked former Six Nations goalie Ben VanEvery to a three-year contract.
The 33-year-old Millin enters his fifth season with the Rochester Knighthawks in 2009. Last season, he finished fifth on the team with 33 points and added 49 loose balls.
The Brampton, Ontario native logged his best season during the 2007 campaign, recording a career best in goals (19), assists (33) and points (52) en route to capturing his fifth NLL title and first with Rochester. He finished sixth on the team in points and was one of seven players to appear in all 16 games.
Prior to his arrival to Rochester, Millin spent the majority of his career with the Toronto Rock where he helped guide the team to four league titles in 1999, 2000, 2002 and 2003. Millin was acquired by Rochester in a five-player, two-draft trade that sent him to the Knighthawks from the Minnesota Swarm.
The 22-year-old VanEvery just completed the 2008 regular season with the Kahnawake Mohawks of the Quebec Senior Lacrosse League. In 13 games with the Mohawks, VanEvery posted a 10-3 record and made 393 saves to earn a 4.95 goals-against average and a .866 save percentage. He will compete for the Senior "B" Presidents' Cup in Sherwood Park, Alberta, from August 18th to August 23rd later this month.
Prior to joining the Mohawks, VanEvery spent five seasons (2003-2007) playing Junior "A" lacrosse with the Six Nations Arrows of the OLA where he has tallied 45 assists in 94 regular season games and collected 43 assists in 68 postseason contests.
