Washington Stealth lacrosse captains letter

April 13th, 2010 at Tue, 13th, 2010 at 11:42 am by Megan Managan

The Washington Stealth professional lacrosse team captains, Jason Bloom (a Mercer Island resident) and Jamison Koesterer sent out this letter via press release about the team’s upcoming playoff chances.

Dear Washington Lacrosse Community,

As you are probably aware, we’re putting together a great inaugural season here in Washington.  Speaking on behalf of our teammates, we all feel very fortunate to be playing in front of some amazing fans, and in a state where lacrosse is absolutely taking off.  All of the pieces are in place, and we are playing some of our best lacrosse of the season.

The Stealth has a phenomenal opportunity this Saturday to secure first place overall in the National Lacrosse League, and play all of our playoff games in front of you at home!  We have our sights on a Championship season, and are gearing up for another huge game this Saturday at the Comcast Arena at Everett against our archrivals, the Edmonton Rush.

There is no doubt about it, this is the biggest game of the season; winning this game will not only lock up a West Division Title, but more importantly it will also give us the best record in the NLL and keep us at home for all of our playoff games in front of you, our dedicated fans!  Please help us spread the word to the community- to your friends, family members, lacrosse fans and simply just fans of any sport.

We’re looking for another huge and boisterous turnout this Saturday and we need you to help us make Comcast Arena one of the most intimidating buildings for opposing teams to play.  Your energy is contagious, so let’s pack the place this weekend and show the lacrosse world what Washington lacrosse is all about!

See you Saturday,

Jason Bloom & Jamison Koesterer
