The Rochester Knighthawks have re-signed forward Scott Evans to a three-year deal and signed defenceman Mac Allen to a three-year deal and signed defenseman Kyle Guadagnolo and forward Jesse Guerin to two-year contracts. All contracts are still pending league approval.
"We're excited to re-sign Scott to a three-year deal," said Knighthawks General Manager Regy Thorpe. "He is a proven goal-scorer and with John (Grant) out of the lineup we fully expect him to step up with his leadership and work ethic. He is one of the fiercest competitors in the game and I know he's excited about the direction the team is going."
Evans returns for his fifth season with the Knighthawks in 2009. In 64 career games with the Rochester, he has registered 287 points while collecting 306 loose balls. Evans finished the 2008 season with 44 goals and 78 points, good enough for second and third on the team, respectively. His 44 tallies on the year were also fourth best in the league.
Evans also appeared in his first All-Star game this past season, contributing three assists to help the East defeat the West with a 17-16 overtime win. The Peterborough, Ontario native recorded his best season during the 2007 season, nothing career-highs in points (87) and goals (45) en route to capturing his first National Lacrosse League championship.
