It’s official: Gait’s a Knighthawk

October 30th, 2008 by Bob Chavez

Well, it’s official. Gary Gait is a Rochester Knighthawk.

Our own Paul Tutka broke the news more than two weeks ago and yesterday, it became official as the Knighthawks announced they’ve signed Gait to a two-year contract. Of course, the Knighthawks are all giddy about the news and Gait’s even happier to be suitin’ up again. The great thing about all this, however, is the debate that’s rockin’ the message boards. Can Gait recapture the form we’ve come to expect from the six-time National Lacrosse League MVP? Is he washed up? Is this a publicity stunt? Some fans out there even have the ‘nads to suggest Gait’s coming back only because Athan Iannucci broke the scoring record last season and Gait’s out to reclaim it.

Whatever’s going on under that lid of yours, the fact is Gait’s back and it’s got people talking — and excited — about the 2009 season.
