MEDIA INFORMATIONACCESS: The Minnesota Swarm organization and Communica-tions department strive to make its players, coaches, manage-ment and other personnel available in a timely and responsible fashion to all accredited members of the media.

CREDENTIALS: Press seating at Swarm home games at Xcel Energy Center is available to accredited media in the Al Shaver press box located on the south side of the Xcel Energy Center’s press level. Single-game credentials must be requested no later than 48 hours, the day prior to a Friday home game, and by 5 p.m., Friday for a Sunday game. Requests should be made in writing to Alec Schimke, Minnesota Swarm, 317 Washing-ton Street, Saint Paul, MN 55102; facsimile requests at (651) 293-9574 or e-mail requests at “[email protected]” will also be accepted. Single-game credentials may be picked up at the media entrance near Gate 1, located on the south-east entrance of the Xcel Energy Center on Kellogg Boulevard. The elevator to the press room and press box is located in the southwest corner of the Xcel Energy Center near Gate 2. Those persons holding full-season Swarm credentials MUST enter through Gate 1. MEDIA MEMBERS HOLDING SEASON PASSES SHOULD NOTIFY THE COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT IF PLAN-NING TO COVER A GAME IN ORDER TO RESERVE SEATING. A MEDIA CREDENTIAL CANNOT BE USED TO SIT IN SPECTATOR SEATING AREAS.

DAY-OF-GAME INTERVIEWS: After completion of the morn-ing practice, which typically begins at approximately 11 a.m. (for a 7:35 p.m. start), is the best time to interview players and coaches on a game day. Requests to interview a player upon his arrival to the Xcel Energy Center for the game will be accommodated upon the Player’s and Coach’s approval and should be requested at the morning skate. If the team is not practicing, the request should be made to the Swarm, or visit-ing team public relations department, no later than 10 a.m. on the day of game. The Swarm Communications department cannot guarantee access to players or coaches if no practice is scheduled. Interviews which need advance preparation or special accommodation by a Swarm player or Communica-tions staff member, such as live or studio television interviews pre- and post-game, should be made by contacting the Swarm Communications department no later than 10 a.m. on the day of the game.

DAY-OF-GAME PRACTICES: On home game days when the Swarm choose to practice, they will typically take the turf at approximately 11 a.m. Media should plan on arriving by 11 a.m. for game-day practices. The visiting team’s practice usually starts at 12:30 p.m. Call the Swarm Communications department if there is a question regarding either team’s prac-tice schedule.

LOCKER ROOMS: NLL: Only credentialed media members will be allowed into the locker rooms. The rooms will open five min-utes after the game and remain open for 30 minutes. The offi-cials’ locker room is off limits to the media. Should a comment or interpretation from the game’s referee or NLL supervisor be needed, contact a member of the Swarm Communications de-partment and a pool reporter may be assigned.

PHOTOGRAPHERS: Only those photographers on assignment

will be allowed access to designated photography locations at rink level and in overhead positions. Xcel Energy Center spaces are accessible to local dailies, wire service photographers and local TV crews (for non-televised games). Two photography po-sitions are reserved for Swarm team photographers. Additional photography positions are determined on a first-come, first-served basis; however, in cases of increased photographer attendance, positions will be assigned by alec Schimke of the Swarm Creative Services staff and team photographer Bruce Kluckhohn. In all cases, photographers should check in with Bruce Kluckhohn in the press room before game time. Because of very limited photography locations, it is not possible to ac-commodate freelance photographers.

PRESS ROOM: Media possessing season credentials or those granted single-game credentials are invited to have a meal before each game in the press dining room, located on the lower level (Xcel Energy Center’s south side). The room opens two-and-one-half hours before game time. Dining room usage is limited to those presenting valid Swarm credentials. It is impossible to accommodate family members, friends, guests or others. Any abuse of dining room privileges may cause for-feiture of a media pass. Limited refreshments are also avail-able during intermissions.

SERVICES: Pre-game press notes, lineups, press releases, complete statistics and other pertinent information will be furnished by the Swarm Communications department. There are sufficient electrical outlets and telephones available in the press box and media work room (adjacent to the press dining room). Preference for phone use will be given to writers and broadcasters filing stories on deadline. The Swarm will also provide one facsimile machine, which is available for com-plimentary use by working media. Statisticians are available to assist radio and television broadcasters by contacting the Swarm Communications department. These services must be made in advance, and once they are made, the statisticians must be compensated whether or not used.

TELEVISION COVERAGE: Requests for special features and pre-game television live shots should be coordinated through the Swarm Communications department.

MEDIA PARKING: The amount of parking available to the me-dia at the Xcel Energy Center is limited. The Swarm Communi-cations department will issue full-season parking passes only to those media expected to attend the majority of home games throughout the 2010 season. All other parking requests will be handled on a per-game basis and are subject to availability. Media parking will be located in the RIVERCENTRE PARKING RAMP across Kellogg Boulevard from the arena. The ramp has two entrances: on Kellogg Boulevard and on Exchange Street, which can be accessed via Eagle Street (at the Kellogg and West Seventh intersection). To enter the building, media should take the West elevator to Skyway Level and enter the arena at the skyway entrance to Gate 1. An alternate option is to cross Kellogg Blvd. and enter through the main entrance at Gate 1.

TEAM IDENTITY

On October 25, 2004, sports fans and lacrosse enthusiasts in the Twin Cities were introduced to the Minnesota Swarm.

Minnesota Swarm General Manager Marty O’Neill, Head Coach Mike Simpson and players Neil Doddridge and Ray Guze joined local youth lacrosse players shooting balls into a lacrosse net on the Xcel Energy Center turf to help unveil the new team name, logo and colors on the arena’s scoreboard during a special ceremony.

The primary Swarm logo depicts a swarming motion while highlighting an ambiguous insect, all in the form of the letter “S”. The electrifying gold, and bold, dominant blue in the logo and the jersey, bring to life the fast-paced, physical play of lacrosse. The secondary logo brings another character to life, with the hint of a lacrosse stick to tie back to the sport. The official team colors are Minnesota Royal Blue, Electric

Gold and Minnesota Swarm Silver.

“We are excited to unveil the name and logo of our team,” said Matt Majka, Executive Vice President of Minnesota Sports & Entertainment (MSE). “The Minnesota Swarm best represents what fans can expect from our team and the powerful, high scoring and fast-paced action of the National Lacrosse League.”

The Minnesota Swarm name and logo development sought to build a connection to Minnesota sports fans by tapping into the adrenaline-fueled nature of this high-scoring sport, while at the same time recognizing that it would be an edgy new addition to the local sports scene. After sifting through hundreds of names, and getting fan feedback via the Internet, there was one that quickly rose to the top - The Minnesota Swarm - incorporating the idea of coming together in an ultra-energetic way.

SOMETHING OR OTHER


2010 ABOUT THE NLLWHAT IS THE NLL?The National Lacrosse League (NLL) played its inaugural game in January of 1987, and was first known as the Eagle Pro Box Lacrosse League. In 1988, the name was changed to the Major In-door Lacrosse League (MILL). The MILL became the NLL following the 1997 season. All of the statistics and records in this book encompass all eighteen seasons of the league’s existence. Therefore, a League Record is one that covers all three names and the league’s entire eighteen-season history.

The National Lacrosse League plays indoor la-crosse. The game is a hybrid, combining parts of box lacrosse (played inside the confines of an ice hockey rink on a turf surface or concrete surface, more prevalent in Canada) with field la-crosse (played on outdoor field, either on grass or turf, more prevalent in the United States).

Indoor lacrosse was designed to combine the most exciting elements of box and field lacrosse. The game is played inside the confines of an ice hockey rink, with glass and rink boards intact. The playing surface is an artificial turf, which is placed directly over the arena’s ice surface. Each team plays with five runners and a goaltender. The combination of the playing area, and the physical play leads many fans to describe indoor lacrosse “as being like hockey, on foot, with a lot more scoring”.

Twenty-five goals are scored in the average NLL game. Indoor lacrosse is similar to basketball in terms of its frequent scoring, use of a shot-clock (30 seconds), and use of the over-and back-rule. When teams are on offense, they often spread the floor and pass the ball around in a manner similar to that of basketball.

The NLL game is also played in four quarters, each 15 minutes in length. Ties are settled in a five minute sudden-death overtime period. If a goal is not scored in the first overtime, the teams

will continue to play five-minute overtime periods until a goal is scored. More than ninety percent of overtime games are settled in the first over-time period. There are no ties or points awarded for an “overtime loss” in the NLL. The standings and team records are strictly Wins-Losses.

Each team plays a sixteen-game regular sea-son schedule, starting in January and ending in April. The NLL schedule is structured in a similar fashion to that of the National Football League. All games are played on the weekends. The weekends of the schedule are numbered, 1-16. For example, Week #1 refers to all of the games being played on the weekend of January 1st-2nd, 2005.

As the League has grown, so has the sched-ule. Here is a look at schedule growth in recent League history:

1996 10-game schedule



2002-present 16-game schedule

The Champion’s Cup Playoffs are single-game elimination.

THE PLAYERS OF THE NLLEach team consists of a 23-man roster. On game day, the head coach chooses eighteen of the twenty-three players to play in the game. The other six are scratched from the lineup, similar to hockey.

Of the 18 players, 16 are runners (forwards or defensemen) and two are goaltenders.

Each team has five runners and a goaltender on the floor during the game. Of the five runners, teams traditionally use three forwards and two defensemen. In the waning moments of the game, the team trailing will often opt to pull the goaltender for an extra runner.


2010ABOUT THE NLLMinor and major penalties during the game lead to power plays of two minutes and five minutes, respectively.

A 30-second shot clock is used to keep the action moving. The clock resets after a shot on goal, or a change of possession.

The National Lacrosse League features the best lacrosse talent in the world. Approximately 75% of the League’s players are from Canada. The majority of these players grew up playing box lacrosse in Canada’s Junior Lacrosse program. Box lacrosse is played inside the confines of an ice hockey rink, with the glass and boards intact. The playing surface is concrete. In cit-ies and towns across Canada, box lacrosse is a popular sport to play in the spring and sum-mertime months, when the ice is removed from the local hockey rink. Many of the League’s Ca-nadian players grew up playing ice hockey dur-ing the fall and winter months, and then played box lacrosse at their hometown rinks during the spring and summer months.

There are two “hotbed” areas that produce the greatest concentration of lacrosse talent in Can-ada. The province of Ontario, especially within 75 miles/125 kilometers radius of the city of Toronto. Approximately one half of the League’s players are from this region. The other is in the province of British Columbia, within a radius of 50 miles/75 kilometers to the city of Vancouver. Approximately one-fourth of the League’s players are from this region. NLL expansion into Calgary has led to a surge in youth participation in the province of Alberta and other areas of Western Canada.

Media members and team media relations offi-cers will often refer to a Canadian player’s junior lacrosse experience prior to joining the NLL. The following is a partial list of teams in the Ontario Lacrosse Association and British Columbia Ju-nior Lacrosse League. The two leagues produce a considerable share of the league’s players.

The League also features the top college la-crosse talent in the United States. The “hot-beds” of US lacrosse talent are primarily in the Northeast. The Baltimore-Washington DC region, Long Island, and upstate New York are the pri-mary areas. The game of lacrosse is also emerg-ing at the scholastic level in regions across the country, including the San Francisco Bay Area, Denver, St. Louis, and Texas. The players who have excelled in the traditional outdoor or field lacrosse setting take their skills and converting them to the indoor game. The major adjustments an outdoor player makes when going to the in-door game are:

A smaller goal to shoot on. The outdoor goal is six feet high and six feet wide. The indoor goal is four feet high and four feet and nine inches wide. The goalies of the indoor game also wear more equipment, taking away more of the shoot-ing space than an outdoor goalie.

A faster moving game. With a smaller playing surface and 30-second shot clock, the pace of the NLL game is faster than the pace of field lacrosse.

The League also has a prominent contingent of Native American players. These players are pri-marily from the Six Nations of Ontario, and from several tribes in Western and Central parts of upstate New York. Native American players make up approximately six percent of the player pool in the NLL.

The great majority of the League’s players have full-time jobs during the week. Many of the League’s fans will tell you they enjoy a closeness to the players because they have everyday jobs like they do. Some of the teams use this bond as part of their marketing appeal to the fans.


NLL RULESASSIST – Awarded to the player or players (maximum of two) who touched the ball prior to the goal, provided no defender plays or possesses the ball in between.

BODY CHECK – Slowing or stopping an opponent in pos-session of the ball. The check must be above the waist and below the shoulders.

BREAKAWAY – One-on-one scoring opportunity with the offensive player and the goaltender.

CRADLING (THE BALL) - The back and forward mo-tion of the stick with the ball in the pocket. The cradling keeps the ball inside the pocket, making it difficult for the defender to dislodge or take it away.

CREASE - Nine-foot radius area which surrounds the goals at each end of the playing surface. A goal is disal-lowed if a player scores while standing inside this area or steps on the line that defines the crease.

CROSS CHECK - Using the shaft of the stick between his hands, the defensive player tries to push on the op-ponent’s arm forcing a poor pass or shot.

FACE-OFF - At the start of the game, any quarter of play, and after a goal is scored, the ball is placed in the center circle and two opposing players face each other in a scrum of possession.

GOAL - Awarded to the last player on the scoring club to touch the ball prior to the ball entering the net.

HIDDEN BALL PLAY – A player without the ball starts to cradle his stick drawing the attention of the defense while another teammate candidly passes the ball or shoots.

LOOSE BALL – There is no possession and the ball is bouncing, rolling or rebound off the boards or goaltender.

MAJOR PENALTY – Five minutes in length. Penalty time expires on the scoring of two goals, but penalized player must remain in penalty box for full five minutes.

MAN DOWN – A team is considered this, or short-handed, when they must send out a four- or three-man unit as a result of having one or two of their players in the penalty box.

MINOR PENALTY - Two minutes in length. Penalty ex-pires upon the scoring of a goal; penalized player returns to floor.

OFFENSIVE SCREEN – Legal action by an attacking player to impede the defensive coverage of a defender on an attacking player “without” possession of the ball.

OUTLET PASS – The first pass from the goaltender that begins the transition from defense to offense.

PENALTY BOX – Off-field area, near midfield, where players serve penalty time.

PICK - Legal interference by an offensive player from a set position on a defensive player who is playing defense on the ball carrier. If two players execute the pick, it is referred to as a double pick.

POWER PLAY - When a team has a(n extra) man advan-tage because of a penalty situation against the opposing team. Power plays can take the form of five-on-four, five-on-three, or four-on-three. Following are some examples of what is and is not considered a power-play goal:

• If a club scores on a delayed penalty, the goal is not a power-play goal.

• If a club has an advantage due to a five-minute ma-jor penalty, that club is always credited with having one more advantage than the number of power-play goals it scores during that advantage; because the penalty does not expire, a new advantage begins after such a power-play goal. For example, if Team A scores one goal during a major penalty, it is credited with two advantages.

• If a club is on a power play for any length of time, it is considered to have had an advantage.

• A double minor constitutes two opportunities.

SCREEN SHOT - A shot on goal that is difficult for the goaltender to see because of the high amount of player traffic in front of the crease area.

SHORT-HANDED GOAL - scored by a club while it is at a manpower disadvantage due to a penalty.

SHOT ON GOAL - if a player shoots the ball with the in-tention of scoring and if that shot would have gone in the net had the goaltender not stopped it, the shot is recorded as a shot “on goal”. Shots which hit either of the goalposts or the crossbar are also credited as a shot on goal.

TECHNICAL PENALTY - Result in loss of possession of the ball. Minor violation; no time penalty.

TENTHS OF A SECOND - if a penalty or goal occurs in the last minute of a quarter, the time is rounded off to the previous second (i.e. - if a penalty is called with 14.6 seconds left in the quarter, the time is indicated as 14:45, and not 14:46.


2010NLL RULESROSTERS – 23-man roster, each team dresses 18 players for games (16 runners and two goal-ies). A team shall be composed of six (6) players on the floor, who are under contract to the club they represent.

TIME FORMAT – Four 15-minute quarters; two minutes between quarters; 12 minute halftime.

TIME OUTS – Each team may take two 45-sec-ond timeouts per half.

SUDDEN-DEATH OVERTIME – Games ending reg-ulation play with a tie score are decided by sud-den death overtime period five minutes in length. Play continues until a goal is scored. More than one overtime period is played if necessary.

10-SECOND VIOLATION – Occurs when team on offense fails to advance the ball past midfield within 10 seconds after taking possession at their end.

FACE-OFFS – To determine possessions at the start of each quarter and after every goal, two players face their sticks at midfield with a ref-eree placing the ball between the heads of the sticks.

SHOT CLOCK – A 30-second clock begins (count-ing down) when a team assumes possession of the ball. The offensive team must put a shot on goal during that time or they will lose posses-sion. If they do shoot on goal (without scoring) and recover possession of the ball (via rebound/loose ball recovery), the clock is reset for a new 30 seconds.

MINOR PENALTIES – On two-minute personal fouls, the penalized player is released from the penalty box if a goal is scored before the expira-tion of the penalty.

MAJOR PENALTIES – On five-minute major per-sonal fouls, the penalized player stays in the box for the duration of the penalty, though the of-fending team returns to full strength if two goals are scored against them during the five minutes. When a second major penalty is imposed on the same player in a game, an automatic game mis-conduct penalty shall be imposed.

USE OF PENALTY SHOT – Since a team cannot be more than two men down at a time, if a third penalty is called, the official will award a penalty shot to the unpenalized team.

EJECTION FROM GAME – Players can be ejected from a game for several reasons including being the third man participating in an altercation in which there is a penalty assessed or accumulat-ing two major penalties in one game.

SLOW WHISTLE (DELAYED PENALTY) – If a de-fending player commits a personal or major pen-alty against an opponent in possession of the ball where there is offensive momentum and the opponent doesn’t lose possession, the official raises his hand and does not blow the whistle until a shot is taken, the 30-second shot clock expires, a goal is scored or possession is lost.

COINCIDENTAL PENALTIES – When each team is given the same amount of penalty time arising out of the same incident, the offending players shall not be released until the expiration of the penalty. Teams do not lose floor strength, and the ball is awarded to the team who was in posses-sion prior to the fouls.

FIELD & GOALS – Indoor lacrosse is played on a hockey rink covered by an artificial turf play-ing surface, which is usually referred to as the floor or the carpet (as opposed to the field). There must be boards around the sides of a minimum height of 3’ high. Dimensions are 200’ x 85’ but may be altered. Goals are 4’ (high) x 4’9” (wide). The circle around the goal known as the crease is 9’3” in diameter. An offensive player is not al-lowed to intentionally step into the crease area. The large box around the crease is the offensive/defensive zone. Any penalty called against a de-fender in this area by an official is accompanied by a raised hand followed by a whistle blown only after the offensive scoring opportunity has ended.


HOW TO FIGURE...

ASSIST - An assist is awarded to the player or players (maximum of two) who touched the ball prior to the goal, provided no de-fender plays or possesses the ball in be-tween.

GAME PLAYED - A player receives credit for playing in a game if: 1.) he steps on the turf during time played or; 2.) serves any pen-alty.

GAME-WINNING GOAL - After the final score has been determined, the goal which leaves the winning Club one goal ahead of its op-ponent is the game-winning goal (example: if Team A beats Team B 8-3, the player scoring the fourth goal for Team A receives credit for the game-winning goal).

GAME-TYING GOAL - The final goal in a tie game.

GOAL - A goal is awarded to the last player on the scoring Club to touch the ball prior to the ball entering the net.

GOALS-AGAINST AVERAGE - Multiply goals allowed (GA) by 60 and divide by minutes played (MINS).

GOALTENDER OF RECORD - A goaltender re-ceives a win, tie or loss if he is on the turf when either the game-winning or game-tying goal is scored.

PENALTY-KILLING PCT. - Subtract total number of power-play goals allowed from total number of shorthanded situations to get total number of power-plays killed. Di-vide the total number of power-plays killed

by the total number of shorthanded situa-tions.

POWER-PLAY PERCENTAGE - Total number of power-play goals divided by total number of power-play opportunities.

SAVE PERCENTAGE - Subtract goals al-lowed (GA) from shots against (SA) to de-termine saves. Then divide saves by shots-against.

SHOOTING PERCENTAGE - Divide the num-ber of goals scored by the number of shots taken.

SHORT-HANDED GOAL - A goal scored by a Club while it is at a manpower disadvan-tage. The same cases apply for shorthand as for power-play goals, but in the opposite manner.

SHOT ON GOAL - If a player shoots the ball with the intention of scoring and if that shot would have gone in the net had the goalten-der not stopped it, the shot is recorded as a “shot on goal”.

SHUTOUT - If two goaltenders combine for a shutout, neither receives credit for the shutout. Instead it is recorded as a Club shutout.

TENTHS OF A SECOND - If a penalty or goal occurs in the last minute, the time is rounded off to the previous second (ex: if a penalty is called with 12.4 seconds left in a period, the time is indicated as 19:47 and not 19:48.

XCEL ENERGY CENTER

Regarded as one of America’s most intimate arenas, Xcel Energy Center is a one-of-a-kind multi-purpose sports and entertain-ment facility located in the heart of downtown Saint Paul, ad-jacent to the Saint Paul RiverCentre complex and The Legendary Roy Wilkins Auditorium. Situated on a six-acre site and encom-passing 650,000 square feet, Xcel Energy Center is home to the National Hockey League’s Minnesota Wild, the National Lacrosse League’s Minnesota Swarm, and more than 150 spectacular en-tertainment events annually.

Xcel Energy Center first opened its doors on September 29, 2000, when the expansion Minnesota Wild defeated the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim 3-1. Since its victorious beginnings, the hockey club has sold out every game ever played at the arena.

With four separate concourses on four seating levels, plus the Al Shaver Press Box on the fifth level, Xcel Energy Center’s open concourses are fan friendly, measuring as much as 70 feet in width providing an open view of the ice. The venue seats 18,064 for hockey games, and each of its four levels were strategically positioned to create great sightlines. There are 74 executive suites; 12 on the main concourse and 62 on the Club Cambria Executive Suite Level. One level above is the Treasure Island Resort & Casino Club Level, which boasts approximately 3,000 luxury seats, an exclusive merchandise store, and upscale food and beverage options anchored by Headwaters, a full-service bar and restaurant.

Xcel Energy Center has been recognized as one of the best ven-ues worldwide for sporting events, concerts and family shows. ESPN The Magazine has twice ranked the eight-year-old venue No. 1 for “Best Stadium Experience”(2003, 2007). Xcel Energy Center was named “Best NHL Arena” by SportsBusiness Journal/SportsBusiness Daily in its 2006 Reader Survey and recognized for the “Best Fan Experience” by Forbes magazine in its 2006 “Business of Hockey” report. Sports Illustrated named the arena its “top choice” among NHL buildings in its 2006 NHL Preview issue. In addition to hockey, Xcel Energy Center has been nomi-nated six times (2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007) for “Arena of the Year” by leading concert-industry publication Pollstar magazine.

Xcel Energy Center is in the midst of an incredible year. In addi-tion to hosting the 2008 U.S. Figure Skating Championships this past January, the arena welcomed the 2008 Republican National Convention from Sep. 1-4. Other major events previously hosted by the facility include the 2004 NHL All-Star Weekend, 2004 International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Cup of Hockey, 2006 U.S. Gymnastics National Championships and the 2002 NCAA Men’s Frozen Four, which will return in 2011.

Each spring, Xcel Energy Center becomes Minnesota’s epicenter of activity, hosting five straight weeks of athletic tournaments. Two of the most storied events include the Minnesota State High School League Boys’ Hockey Tournament and the Western Colle-giate Hockey Association Red Baron Final Five. Attendance marks are routinely broken as hockey-crazed fans clamor for tickets to these destination events each year.

The first-ever concert at Xcel Energy Center featured the Bare-naked Ladies and The Corrs on Sept. 30, 2000. To date, some of the world’s most legendary performers have performed at Xcel Energy Center, including the Police, the Rolling Stones, Barbra Streisand, Paul McCartney, Pavarotti, Elton John, Billy Joel, Rod Stewart, Tim McGraw & Faith Hill, Kenny Chesney, Neil Diamond, Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Bon Jovi, Simon & Garfun-kel, and three consecutive sold-out shows by hometown-favorite, Prince.

In addition to the great concerts and sporting events, many in-credible family shows pass through Xcel Energy Center each year, including favorites like the World’s Toughest Rodeo, Smucker’s Stars on Ice, Disney Live! and Disney On Ice.

Xcel Energy Center is owned by the City of Saint Paul and man-aged by the Saint Paul Arena Company, an affiliate of Minnesota Sports & Entertainment. For more information, visit xcelener-gycenter.com.
