| Letter From the
President |
 Dear
Shamrox fan,
We’ve got two more home games left for the 2007
regular season. And what an Inaugural Season it has
been for the Chicago Shamrox in the NLL. We’ve made
our mark around the league and in the Chicagoland
market.
Our final two Shamrox home games of the season are
both Saturday Night games, Saturday April 7th at
7:30pm versus the Toronto Rock and Saturday April
14th at 7:30pm as we host the Philadelphia Wings.
We’ve got some revenge going against both of these
teams, having tough one-goal losses on the road to
each of them. Should be awesome games on our home
turf.
The April 7th game fans will receive All-Star cards
featuring our two All-Stars, Brandon Miller and Cam
Woods. The April 14th game is Fan Appreciation Night
with lots of fun, lots of prizes for attending the
game.
Spread the word……we’re hoping to Pack the Place and
get the Sears Centre rocking and get a couple “W’s”.
For those who have yet to see a Shamrox home game,
we hope to see you at one or both games. It is your
last chance to experience the fun and the action of
Shamrox indoor lacrosse this season. Don’t miss
out…..
In this edition of Shamrox Scoop, we’ve got the
latest and greatest of Shamrox news and info going
into our last two home games. Check it out.
Shamrox fans, thanks again, come dressed in your
Shamrox gear, and see you at the Sears Centre and GO
SHAMROX!!
Sincerely,
Conrad “Connie” Kowal
President
Chicago Shamrox

Shamrox Close The Season At Home |
|
By: Barrett Sallee |
After a very exciting first three months, the
Chicago Shamrox finish up the regular season with
Saturday night home games on Saturday, April 7,
against the Toronto Rock and Saturday, April 14,
against the Philadelphia Wings. Game time for both
games is 7:30 p.m. CDT.
Jason Clark leads the Shamrox offensively with 53
points (15g, 38a). The veteran from Toronto has
assisted on 12 goals in the last five Shamrox games.
Chris Panos leads the team in goals with 24, and has
scored at least one in every Shamrox game played in
2007. Bryan Kazarian has been busy doing the dirty
work this season, scooping up 121 loose balls this
year, placing him fifth in the NLL in that category.
The Rock come into Saturday’s game clinging to the
last playoff position and trying to recapture the
magic that saw them win the Champions Cup five times
between 1999 and 2005. Josh Sanderson and Blaine
Manning provide the primary scoring threats for the
Rock, and Rookie of the Year candidate Ryan Benesch
has exploded on to the NLL scene, scoring 45 points
(26g, 19a) in 2007.
The Wings come into the match-up on the 14th
fighting for their playoff lives, as they sit just
one game behind the Rock for the fourth and final
playoff spot. The talented one-two scoring punch of
Sean Greenhalgh (24g, 30a) and Dan Marhol (18g, 35a)
provide the offensive spark for the Wings, who last
won a Champions Cup in 2001. All-Star goaltender
Matt Roik solidifies the Wings defense, as he is 5-4
on the 2007 campaign. |
