(NLL) - One day after re-signing Matt Vinc and Sid Smith to multi-year deals, the Rochester Knighthawks re-signed forward Dan Dawson to a seven-year contract on Thursday. Dawson, who could have tested the open market as an unrestricted free agent, decided instead to remain a Knighthawk for the remainder of his National Lacrosse League career. "It allows me to play for (Knighthawks owner) Curt (Styres) and play out my career in Rochester," said the 31-year-old Dawson. "When you have a leader and an owner that cares about his players more so off the floor than on the floor, it really makes your decision to sign and end your career under Curt that much easier. It is truly an honor playing for him and I am excited to make a serious run at the championship this year." By re-signing Dawson, Rochester retains one of the most prolific scorers and playmakers in NLL history. The Oakville, Ontario native stands seventh on the NLLs all-time assist (577) and points (946) lists. He also has 369 goals in 187 career games. In the NLL Playoffs, he is second in assists (73), fourth in points (118) and seventh in goals (45). The Knighthawks acquired the seven-time NLL All-Pro and former NLL MVP in a six-player, two draft pick deal with Philadelphia on December 14, 2012. The trade, which also sent his brother Paul to Rochester, rejuvenated his career. Last season, the veteran completed his 12th season in the NLL with his first NLL Championship. Dawson finished the regular season second on the Knighthawks in points (75) and assists (52). He was equally as dangerous in the playoffs, as he led Rochester in goals (six) and finished tied with Cody Jamieson with 14 points in three games. In the Championship Game, he scored one goal and chipped in four assists to help the Knighthawks defeat the Washington Stealth to defend their NLL title. Nike Sb Shoes Sale Canada .

Yet the team has once again failed at a major tournament. In the 2010 World Cup, the 2011 and 2015 Asian Cups, North Korea has lost eight of its nine games.But this time is more disappointing after 2014 proved a great year for North Korea in youth tournaments. The nation won Asias under-16 championship and reached the final of the U19 edition and the U23 Asian Games.Perhaps this tournament came too soon for North Koreas young stars and coach Jo Tong Seob is already looking ahead to the 2018 World Cup.This tournament in Australia will be very good experience and motivate our team for further success, including qualification for the 2018 World Cup, Jo said. In mmy opinion, at the senior level, we dont have enough ability to read the games compared to the other teams and physical preparation is also a problem.ddddddddddddIn Australia, the team lost its opening match against Uzbekistan 1-0 in a dull performance and then, despite taking the lead against Saudi Arabia, ended on the wrong side of a 4-1 scoreline. In the final game Sunday, China scored after 45 seconds through Sun Ke who added his second just before halftime. The one positive against China was that North Korea fought back from 2-0 down at halftime to 2-1 and came very close to earning a point.As you know, we played much better in the second half and we were unlucky, Jo said. Looking back, our matches were not satisfactory but I think this was a valuable experience for the whole team, and those at home Im sure are not very happy but they will continue to encourage us.Not in Australia, though. Once again, the team is leaving a major tournament after failing to make a real impact. ' ' '
