Meet the 2010 Sarnia In Motion Pacers

(Players by Alphabetical Order)

Josh Bujaki:            After missing the 2009 season due to injury we are looking for Josh to compete hard this season. He has a strong presence on the defensive end of the floor and his work ethic will inspire his fellow teammates.

Brandon Burr:         Brandon is in his rookie season with the Pacers. He is a highly intelligent player that sees the floor very well and also has the ability to put the ball in the net. The coaching staff speaks very highly of Brandon and his work ethic. We look forward to having him be a Pacer for many years to come.

Mike Butler:           Mike is entering his 3rd season with the Pacers. His speed and ball handing makes him a central part of our transition game. We will be looking for leadership from Mike this season both on and off the floor.

Dan Charlton:         Dan is in his rookie season with the Pacers. Despite being a rookie, his talent, size and smarts are those typical of our veteran players. Dan will not only play a key role on offense with his goal scoring ability, he will also keep the other teams scorers in check on defense with this size and tenacity.

Ryan Chartiers:      Charts is entering his 3^rd season with the Pacers. He is the anchor of our defensive squad. His crushing hits make the opposing team goal scorers cringe. He also strikes fear into opposing goalies when he gets the chance to make it to the offensive end. We will be looking for his leadership in the locker room as well as on the floor.

Kyle Conroy:           After taking a few seasons off of lacrosse to pursue other sporting interests, Kyle has decided to pick up the stick again and the coaching staff couldn’t be happier with his decision.  Kyle is unrelenting in the defensive end, his intensity is second to none and his speed and ball handling ability make him a pure transition player. We are looking forward to seeing what Kyle's full potential is on the floor.

Shayne Cox:            Shayne will be joining the Pacers after an extremely successful season with the Sarnia Intermediate Pacers in 2009. Shayne led the Intermediates in scoring last season and will be looked upon to put an end to some of the offensive woes the Pacers have endured in the past.

Mitch Doughty:       Mitch is entering into his rookie season with the Pacers. Mitch brings something to the table that you just can’t teach and that is heart. He might not be the biggest player on the floor but one thing for sure is when he is out there you will notice him. He has the ability to put the ball in the net but more notably, his offensive playmaking ability has even our veteran players impressed. Mitch is the type of player that every coach wants on his team.

Llew Falla:               Llew is a rookie goaltender for the Pacers this season. He brings a great attitude, strong work ethic, and very good athleticism to the team. He is a quick learner and will no doubt get accustom to the fast pace of Jr B lacrosse. Llew will surely become an asset to our organization for many seasons to come.

Kyle Ferguson:       2010 is Kyles sophomore year with the Pacers. Last year he showed that he has heart, determination and he will do whatever it takes to be successful on the floor. He has the ability to put the ball in the net and also play a gritty style of lacrosse that gives headaches to the opposing team.

Stevee General:      Stevee is starting his second year as a Sarnia Pacer but not in the conventional way. Last year Stevee split goaltending duties with Justin “House’ Matthews and Bobby Smith. This year he is stripping off the goaltending gear and going to be an offensive threat for the Pacers. Stevee has a cannon for a shot that is going to intimidate anyone that gets in the way. With his style of play he brings a lot of options to the table for offensive coach Shaun “The Big Show” Kennedy.

Chris Gibbs:            Gibby is starting his 3d season as a Pacer. His work ethic is absolutely second to none and his attitude and poise is going to make him a huge part of our defensive corps.

Dylan Lee:              Dylan comes to the Pacers this season via the Hamilton Bangles Jr B lacrosse team. This is Dylans 3^rd season in the Ontario Jr B loop and is a proven player that will drastically help the Pacers in the defensive end, transition and hopefully will be able to bulge the twine a few times this season.

TJ Mara:                 TJ is set to start his second season as a Jr B Pacer. The coaches are impressed with his hard work on the floor and his willingness to do anything asked of him. He is a solid two way player but will be looked upon to help out the offense the most and build upon his promising rookie season.

Justin Matthews:    Justin,  better known as “House” is the back stop and back bone of the Pacers. He will be looked upon to keep the goals against down and show rookie goaltender Llew Falla what it takes to be a quality keeper in the Jr B loop.

Dyaln McNiel:        Dylan is a rookie player for the Pacers this season. Dylan is big, strong and is going to make things tough for the opponent’s offenses. Dylan has had a very strong minor career with the minor Pacers and the coaching staff knows that he is only going to continue to improve.

Terry Millar:           Terry comes back to the Pacers after spending a year playing lacrosse in Kitchener. He is a welcome addition to the right side of our offense and will be a leader to our offensive players. Terry will immensely help out an offense player that has had limited success over the past few seasons.

Brock Murphy:       Brock is coming to the Pacers via the storied Clarington Green Gales organization. Only with the team for a short time, Brock as already proved to be a leader in the dressing room and on the floor. His hard nosed/gritty style of play is going to bring another dimension to the tough style of lacrosse the Pacers are looking to play this season.

Jimmy Purves:        Jimmy is starting his 4^th season with the Pacers. He has been one of the Pacers top point getters over his career and the coaching staff is looking for this trend to continue. Jimmy’s natural athletic ability makes him the type of player that every team wants to have. Look for Purves to have a break out season with the new style that the coaching staff  plan to implement this season.

Cody Ross:              This will be Codys rookie season with the Pacers. Cody is a sound player that has all the skill sets that will make him a Pacer for many years to come. His work ethic on the floor is relentless and is impossible to miss.

Lance Ross:            Lance is entering his 4^th season as a Pacer. Lance is a pure athlete and will see the floor for every crucial situation this season. He is reliable and takes care of his own end just as good if not better then anyone in the league. He is a true leader and will be looked upon to come up big in all situations this season.

Aaron Schieman:     Skeeter is returning for his second season in a Pacer uniform. Aaron will be looked upon to keep the offense on the right track. Skeeter had a strong 2009 season and the staff hopes he will continue to improve and put up the numbers he is capable of.

Connor Smith:         Smitty is a rookie this season but plays with the confidence of a 5^th year player. His ability to pick up loose balls and to find the open man will be an asset for the Pacers. He oozes the definition of hard work and this should rub off on the rest of the team.

Ben Tamming:         This is Bens first year back to lacrosse after a hiatus from the sport for a few years. Ben picked up right where he left off and continues to improve every time he hits the floor. The staff expects big things from Ben at both ends of the floor.

Riley Thompson:     This is Riley’s last season wearing the Pacer uniform. Riley will be the Captain for the team this year and rightfully so. There are just too many positive things to say about Riley to fit into a small blurb. He is the definition of a true lacrosse player. He plays both ends of the floor as good as anyone in the league and does it with class. The team lives and dies with Riley, he defines the Pacer name.

Josh Yurchuck:       Josh is entering his 3^rd season with the Pacers. Josh is a true transition player and can handle himself superbly in any situation he may find himself in on the floor. He will be looked up heavily to help put goals on the scoreboard for the Pacers and keep them off for the opponents.
