Diachenko will not be alone when heading to buffalo this winter as a couple of his team mates with Brooklin are currently playing for the Bandits ( Derek Suddons, Steve Priolo, Derek Hopcroft & Shawn Williams).

Jordan Houtby was drafted in the fourth round ( 29th overall ) by the Minnesota Swarm. Minnesota held 8 draft picks in this years NLL entry draft (4 in the 1st round ). Houtby joins team mates Jeff Gilbert, Zach Higgins, Dan Ball & Keil Matisz already on the Swarm.

Jake Hayes was drafted in the fifth round ( 43rd overall) by the Calgary Roughnecks. Hayes being a native of Calgary, it was a natural move for the Roughneck to select him. Hayes played Sr.B lacrosse with Calgary in 2012 before coming to the Redmen this past season.
