Stealth President and General Manager Doug Locker commented on the added versatility Cornwall brings to the team,
“If there was ever a player who could fill a variety of roles it is Travis. We are extremely excited to have him join the Stealth. It’s great for another BC product to come back to Vancouver to represent his home team and we are looking for big things from him this coming season.”
Colton Clark was originally drafted in the first round (9th overall) by the Colorado Mammoth in the 2012 NLL Entry Draft. He played two seasons in Colorado appearing in 18 games in 2013 and 2014. In that time, Clark had 3 goals, 6 assists with 71 loose balls.

“In signing Colton and Adam we add two players who are ready to play in the NLL,” said Locker. He continued, “Colton has had a terrific summer and is a player who can contribute in many ways for us. He is dynamic, can score goals, play defense and has very good speed. Likewise, we have been impressed with Adam all summer and feel he is ready to compete for a spot on our roster this season.”
