Reaction to Cannons Protection List

Yesterday was a big day for the Cannons announcing Sean Quirk as their new Head Coach, but that wasn’t the only news of the day. The other news was the Cannons announcing their 10-12 man protected player list in the Cannons situation they protected 12 players.

The 12 players protected are, Brent Adams, Midfield, Kevin Buchanan, Attack, Davey Emala, Attack, John Glesener, Attack, Josh Hawkins, Midfield, Will Manny, Attack, Scott McWilliams, Defense, Joe Nardella, Midfield, Scott Ratliff, Defense, Max Seibald, Midfield, Wells Stanwick, Attack, and Chad Wiedmaier, Defense.

While the Cannons left Craig Bunker, Midfield/FO, Jordan Burke, Goalie, Rob Emery, Midfield, Tyler German, Midfield, Adam Ghitelman, Goalie, Brodie Merrill, Defense, Jack Murphy, Goalie, Ryan Tucker, Midfield and Ryan Young, Attack, all unprotected.

There is a possibility we could be some of these unprotected players return to the Cannons in a couple scenarios. For example if one of the unprotected players for the Cannons is selected, the Cannons can then pick one player from their unprotected list and protect that person. For example Ryan Tucker gets chosen (which is possible since his father will be the Head Coach of the new team Atlanta Blaze), the Cannons then decide to protect Jordan Burke. That’s how it works every time someone from your team is selected you get to choose one player from your unprotected list and make him protected and he is back on your roster for next season. Another way a player can return to the Cannons is if they are not selected at all in the Expansion Draft, if that happens it is not guaranteed they will be back on the roster since the Cannons can make the choice if they want to hold onto this player or send him to the player pool.

I love the fact that Cannons are trying to hold on to their core offense group of guys and the young guys trying to keep them all together. I think this core solid group of 12 for now are great pieces that new head coach Sean Quirk can build around

Sean Quirk Named Boston Cannons Head Coach

   

     VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the hiring of Sean Quirk and no it is not just because he is from my Hometown of Swampscott, Massachusetts. and I have a personal relationship with him. He is a constant winner at every level he has played or coached at.
     As a player he attended Springfield College and played Goalie for the team helping lead the Pride to a Division 2 National Championship in 1994, that was not the only accolade he would receive as a player being a 2 time Division 2 All American, and in 1995 was chosen as Division 2 Goalie of the Year.
     Quirk who had spent the last 18 years at Endicott College, and initially stepped down after this past season, helped build and establish a winning program at Endicott. In Quirk's time at Endicott he posted a record of 243-95.
     Quirk brings a constant ability to win at every level and I think that will Translate big time with the Boston Cannons. Quirk's resume really speaks for himself and is arguably one of the greatest Division 3 Lacrosse Coaches of all time.
