As NLL teams continue to release their rosters for the 2014 season, the Buffalo Bandits released theirs and there were not many surprises.
Buffalo Bandits General Manager Steve Dietrich today announced the team’s 20-man roster for the 2014 National Lacrosse League season.
The Bandits return 16 players from their 2013 squad, including their top five scorers Shawn Williams, Aaron Wilson, Dhane Smith, John Tavares and Mark Steenhuis. Highlighting the four new faces for the upcoming season is forward Ryan Benesch, who finished in a tie for seventh among NLL players with 84 points last season (34+50).
