Danowski is the best
2-point shooting attackman in MLL history. He has scored more than 30 points every season despite his role constantly changing. He has a veteran IQ acquired only from coaching at the highest level.
connotations accompany the long-stick midfielder label. Many are viewed as poor one-on-one defenders who would rather start transition than play team defense. On an injury- ridden Bayhawks defense, Bernhardt has been asked to play close. His versatility allows him to transform from a takeaway LSM to a physical, door- slamming defenseman.

Matthews is a human highlight reel. ESPN still has his one- handed goal in its college intro package. Another unforgettable moment came last season when he faked an around-the-world shot, then scored. Matthews didn’t invent the toe drag, he just perfected it. Pictured here with Rochester last year, he should thrive in expansion Atlanta’s offense, where he is reunited with former Canada coach Dave Huntley, an Atlanta assistant.
