Toronto – After retiring earlier this summer, former Rock goaltender Pat Campbell has been named goaltending coach for the lacrosse club. Dane Fletcher Jersey. Campbells 14-year NLL career saw stops in Columbus, Rochester, Edmonton and Calgary along with beginning and ending his journey with the Toronto Rock franchise. The Rock had a vacancy on the coaching staff after Steve Dietrich left the team to become the General Manager of the Buffalo Bandits. Dietrich, much like Campbell, moved into the goalie coach position immediately after retiring from the NLL as a member of the Rock following the 2010 season. "Pat has always been looked at as a great team guy," said Rock Assistant Coach and GM Terry Sanderson. "We know hes much more than that. He has been around this league for a long time and has a lot of knowledge to pass along to our young goaltenders in his new role with the club." Campbell was a backup goaltender for the bulk of his NLL career in which he was a part of four NLL Championships. Three of those Champions Cup wins were with Toronto and one came with the Calgary Roughnecks. "I feel like Ive been a bit of a coach for most of my career," explained Campbell. "As the backup goaltender, youre on the bench constantly breaking down the game and looking for the oppositions tendencies to feed info to the guy facing shots in the net. Im looking forward to working with the young guys we have here in Toronto." Currently, the Rock have two goaltenders signed for the coming NLL season. Nick Rose returns as the Rock starter after being acquired at the trade deadline in March of 2012. He went 5-1 down the stretch in his first experience as a number one goalie in the NLL. The second goalie is Zak Boychuk who spent the 2012 season on Torontos practice roster and has yet to see NLL game action. Boychuk will come to camp looking to step into the active roster spot that opened up with the retirement of Campbell. Campbell will officially go to work when the Rock open up training camp in early December with the 2013 NLL regular season kicking off in January. Brandon Lloyd Elite Patriots Jersey. Word of the multiplayer trade first broke on Wednesday, though the final version had minor changes. The deal sends the contracts of Jerome Dyson and Brad Miller from New Orleans to Phoenix. Minnesota also receives three second-round draft picks in the deal. The acquisition of Lopez fills a need at centre for the Hornets, who traded away Emeka Okafor and let Chris Kaman go in free agency. Shane Vereen Jersey. Not Clayton Kershaw. The left-hander finished with a major league-leading 2.53 ERA, Adrian Gonzalez singled in the go-ahead run in the sixth inning, and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Francisco Giants 5-1 on Wednesday, a day after being eliminated from playoff contention for the third straight year by the NL West champions. http://www.patriotsofficialteamstore.com/rob-gronkowski-jersey/. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua stopped Brandon Vera in the main event with a flurry of strikes with 50 seconds left in the fourth round for another dramatic finish. After the fights, UFC President Dana White said Machida had earned another light heavyweight title shot with his sudden victory. Jermaine Cunningham Patriots Jersey. Danilo Gallinari added 19 points, Andre Iguodala had 11 and JaVale McGee scored 10. Tim Duncan went 8 for 11 from the field in leading the Spurs with 21 points in 25 minutes at the AT&T Center. Rob Gronkowski Red Jersey. Romero allowed eight runs in 1 1/3 innings, the shortest start of his career, while catcher J.P. Arencibia broke his right hand from a foul tip in an eight-run second inning.Les Miles has a new seven-year contract at LSU that also will result in a pay raise for one of the most successful coaches in the history of the Tigers football program. "Im a LSU head coach and will be a LSU head coach for as long as I can be," Miles said Wednesday. "Hopefully, well look up seven years from now and Ill be looking for another seven-year extension." The new contract runs through 2019, which amounts to a two-year extension. LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said financial details were still being worked out and will be released after LSU plays in a still-undecided bowl game to close out this season. A person familiar with the contract said that Miles new annual pay would be in the range of $4.3 million. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because financial details of Miles deal were not released. Miles previous contract paid about $3.75 million annually through 2017. He has not received a raise since 2008, after LSUs last national title, though he has since received an extension and raises for assistants. "It is not all about winning championships," Alleva said. "Its about being in the hunt to win championships. "Les Miles is one of the premier coaches in the country and has LSU in contention for championships year in and year out. Only two coaches in the 119-year history of LSU football have coached as many years at this school and only one has won more games." Miles has an 85-20 record since arriving at LSU in 2005 with two Southeastern Conference titles, the one national title and two BCS championship game appearances. Only Charles McClendon won more games as Tigers coach (137). The victory over Arkansas last Friday clinched Miles fifth 10-win season at LSU. "The coaching business is a competitive one and it is important to compensate our coach for his accomplishments and his worth," Alleva said. "(Miles) has continued to keep LSU on the national stage. Coach made a commitment to LSU and LSU made a commitment to coach." Miles said Arkansas representatives reached out to him in a preliminary way, but he also said reports of a five-year, $27. Tracy White Jersey5 million offer to take over the Razorbacks program were "not true." "I have great respect for the AD (Jeff Long), a college friend of mine," Miles said. "My talks were very preliminary. They fell far short of being serious. I can tell you that this Miles family is awfully comfortable in southern Louisiana. I think home is what we call this place." Alleva said LSU already planned to offer Miles an enhanced contract after this season, but decided to close the deal now to snuff out speculation that Miles could be lured elsewhere. "Speculation about other job opportunities accelerated our process a little," Alleva said. "I think we have accomplished the important step of securing Les Miles as our head coach for the long-term good of the program." In the short-term, Miles has given his team two weeks off. The Tigers will find out their bowl destination Sunday with the Capital One Bowl, the Cotton Bowl and the Chick-fil-A Bowl being the leaders. LSU will begin bowl practice after fall exams end Dec. 8. "We look forward to playing in a quality bowl game," Miles said. "We should add two starters (linebacker Kwon Alexander and guard Josh Williford). We should be healthy. I think well fill the bowl arena. There is speculation as to which bowl. I know LSU will be in attendance and that will be enough." LSUs 21-17 loss to Alabama, for all practical purposes, ended its opportunity to repeat as SEC champion. With a loss at Florida, the Tigers finished with a 10-2 record. LSU posted that mark even though six projected starters missed all or most of the season. "I would never take 10-2 as a final" record, Miles said. "But, as this year played out, I think this team improved. Three games into (the season), the team changed numbers. We had key players not there. Guys stepped in and played big. This team fought like hell and fought adversity." ------ Bryan Lazare contributed to this story from Baton Rouge, La. ' ' '
