October 29th, 2008 by Lauren Ward

The Rochester Knighthawks have announced the mid-November opening of their training camp, and the first two practices are free and open to the public. Saturday, November 15th from 3:00 to 6:00 PM and Sunday, November 16th from 9:00 AM to noon the 2009 Knighthawks players and hopefuls will take to the floor at the Rochester Sports Garden (1460 East Henrietta Road). Players and coaches will be available following work-outs for autographs.

In other news, San Jose Stealth assistant GM Doug Locker has been honoured for his role in growing lacrosse in California. Locker will be inducted into the Whittier College Purple & Gold Hall of Fame for not only founding the lacrosse program at the school, but for racking up a record of 293-72 in a 21-year coaching career with the team. He was named the NCAA Div III coach of the year in 2002 after helping his team to its first ever NCAA tournament berth. And speaking of west coast lacrosse, has anyone noticed that new Portland assistant coach Darren Fridge has a son named Jaxon?
