by KENNESAW, Ga.— Randy Staats (Six Nations/Mohawk) will represent the Atlanta Blaze in the Major League Lacrosse All-Star Game on Saturday, July 9 at 7 p.m ET. The game will be held at Cal State Fullerton’s Titan Stadium, and is the first time the event will be hosted on the West Coast.
Staats was announced as the 2016 Inside Lacrosse NLL Rookie of the Year earlier this season for his time played with local Atlanta professional indoor lacrosse team, the Georgia Swarm. He has continued his impressive play with his transition to the Blaze, putting up at least two goals and one assist on the board every game.
“For my second year it’s pretty awesome and an unreal experience to be put in a category with all those other great players. I don’t know a lot of them too well, but it will be a great experience for me to get to know them and play with them. This is a huge honor for me,” said Staats.
