BAYHAWKS OPEN TRAINING CAMP:
MLL 2005 PRESEASON KICKS OFF

Baltimore, MD (April 28, 2005)- The 2005 MLL season starts for Baltimore Bayhawks players this Saturday, April 30th, at 9am. The Bayhawks will open this season’s training camp at St. Paul’s School in Brooklandville, MD.

For Bayhawks veterans like attackman Tom Marechek and midfielder Paul Cantabene, this will be the fifth year they will be stepping onto the field together for a new season. For others like newly acquired midfielder David Curry and first-year MLL player Mikey Powell, Saturday will be the first time they will have ever played with one another.

“I’m excited, at this point in my career and in the history of the MLL, to get to experience the game from a different perspective on a different team,” says Curry about his recent move to the Baltimore roster. “It’s going to be interesting to play with some of the guys that I have been playing against for so long. I think it’s going to be a fun experience.”

For player-coach Gary Gait, this will mark not just his fifth year of MLL competition as a player, but his fourth as the Bayhawks’ coach.

“It’s always exciting to start a new season fresh, with a new outlook and renewed opportunity to put something really special together,” Gait says. “We’ve made some off-season changes, brought in some great veteran players like David Curry and Trevor Tierney, and still have a core of returning players like Brian Reese, Jeff Sonke, and Lee Zink, who are stellar. Plus we’ll have Mikey Powell out to add to an already strong, experienced, hungry team. I’m excited to see what a team this talented can do.”

“A big advantage,” says defenseman Shawn Nadelen, “is the fact that a lot of us have been playing indoor all winter. Being able to come out to training camp with a mid-season level of conditioning only makes us a tougher team.”

Come Saturday, every little bit will help, according to GM Jay Pivec.

“I expect this training camp to be very competitive. Every guy on the field will be playing as hard as they can to make each other, and this team, better. These guys have a passion for the game, and it will show in the speed and intensity of these practices.”

Whether this is their first training camp or their fifth; and whether they have been a Bayhawks for half of the last month or half of the last decade, training camp will be sure to bring out the same traits in every player on the practice field: love of the game, and pride in the Baltimore Bayhawks.

Training camp is open to the media and to the public
