August Launch Press Release

The Tewaaraton Lacrosse League (TLL) has announced its third founding member to its Major Junior lacrosse league, the Tri City Havoc Lacrosse Club.
The Tri City Havoc, is owned by Jeff Snyder, and will represent the lacrosse-rich area of Cambridge, Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, and surrounding areas.
“We are definitely excited about the new league and the chance to be part of what we are sure will be a great thing for the Ontario lacrosse market right from the first game,” Snyder said. “The Tewaaraton Lacrosse League (TLL) is a great chance for us to showcase the strongest lacrosse talent from across the province, while honouring the history and many traditions of the great game of lacrosse. Every once in a while, each sport needs a little shot in the arm to reinvent parts of itself to continue being the best version of themself. The TLL is exactly that.”
And was he ever.
The man who drafted him never had to second guess himself, that s for sure.
Lamoriello: Travis was a core player for the Devils from Day One and still is. He plays in all situations out there whether the goalie is pulled, whether, trying to tie a game or hold on to a one-goal game. He takes all key face-offs and that should say it all about the player but, more important, Travis is liked and respected by his teammates, and he s a coach s dream come true.
Interestingly, Zajac s first National Hockey League game took place on October 6, 2006. Coincidentally, on that same night, Steve Cangialosi made his debut as a member of the Devils broadcast crew.
