Washington Stealth

reviewed by irishgit

Relocated to Everett Washington in 2009 after several years as the San Jose Stealth

Washington Stealth 5

The Stealth relocated to Everett, Washington, just north of Seattle after the 2009 season. They were formerly located in San Jose.

Pretty lousy name, especially for a sport like box lacrosse, where stealth is about as relevant as iambic pentameter is to haiku. Apparently the name is supposed to be some kind of homage to the Stealth Bomber.

On a personal note, my daughter's boyfriend was drafted by them, and played his rookie season in 2009. Whatever else the move does, in terms of fan support and attendance, it brings him a lot closer to home.

hey, that's cool. getting paid to play sports means you're pretty damn good at it.

He is. Even if a rookie in the NLL could make more money washing cars. He's a neat guy, and I think its great for him to have the chance to get paid for what he loves.

They've got him playing on the same line with Colin Doyle, one of the legends of the game.
