Forward Callum Crawford. (Adam Borgstahl, for National Lacrosse League)
The Colorado Mammoth has signed one of the National Lacrosse League’s most-coveted free agents.
Forward Callum Crawford agreed to a three-year deal with Colorado, the team announced Wednesday. The 10-year veteran posted five straight years of 70-plus points from 2010-14 with the Minnesota Swarm. An injury limited him to just 12 games last season.
“Callum has been one of the most dominant righties in the National Lacrosse League for years, and we expect him to bring out the best in his teammates,” Mammoth president and general manager Steve Govett said in a release.
Crawford, 30, is Minnesota’s all-time franchise leader in goals (142), assists (282) and points (424).
“I truly believe this team can win,” Crawford said in a release about joining the Mammoth. “I want to win a championship. I hope I can be a piece that helps this team win a championship.”
Colorado also signed defensemen Mat MacLeod and Taylor Northway, and goaltender Zak Boychuk to one-year deals.
