Happy Birthday #43 Kevin Croswell, 22 years young today Options

[Corporal]

Happy 22nd Birthday Kevin!!!!!

Kevin came to the Swarm last year as the 33rd pick in the 2006 Entry Draft. This past season, Kevin, a goaltender, played his first season of senior A lacrosse in Langley, British Columbia for the Thunder. He did extremely well on a team not as talented as most in the WLA. He had a fantastic GAA of 9.96 and a save percentage of .781 as he went 4-7 in 566:03 minutes of play. His performance this summer could be considered even better than Nick Patterson’s statistically and matches up well with Matt Disher, who was the WLA goaltender of the year.

2007 Stats

Last year, Kevin played the entire second quarter of the exhibition game in Winnipeg against Toronto, which the Rock won 13-11. In that quarter, Kevin only gave up two goals against an Rock team with Colin Doyle still in uniform along with Josh Sanderson, Aaron Wilson and Blaine Manning. He was released since we had Patterson and Disher but was signed to the practice roster later in the year as the third goaltender. With Disher possibly not coming back due to a new job, it looked like Croswell would be the second goaltender. Hopefully, fans in Minnesota will still be able to see Kevin play in Swarm blue and gold.

Kevin is a Libra. Here is his horoscope from the Washington Post.

Libra September 23 - October 22
For Sunday, October 21 -Your bright smile is more powerful than you could have ever imagined -- especially today, when a dour person holds the key to a place you want to explore. Turn on the charm. Look at the situation optimistically, and you might get exactly what you want! You have to harness the power of positive thinking, though, because focusing on what could go wrong or what isn't fair will only get you grumpy -- and no one wants to hang out with someone who is grumpy!
