The Calgary Roughnecks have announced the signing of goaltender Mike Poulin to a three year contract.
"We feel Mike is in the upper echelon of goalies in the National Lacrosse League. He is committed to the Roughnecks and was enthusiastic about a long-term deal. His is one of the leaders in our room and has a burning desire to win," said Roughnecks General Manager Mike Board. "Securing a goaltender with Mike's qualities over several years is important to our organization and was one of our top priorities in the off-season."
Poulin, a native of Waterloo, Ontario, spent the last season and a half backstopping the Calgary Roughnecks after being acquired in a trade from the Boston Blazers in February of 2010.
"Securing a multi-year deal for Mike`s services was a high priority, a reward for his dedication and commitment to his team," said Roughnecks Head Coach Dave Pym. "He gives us an opportunity to compete in every game. He strives to be a leader of character, competence and courage and really has that 'follow me' attitude. We know he is committed to coming to camp in peak physical and mental condition. We are ecstatic to know we have secured a great character player for years to come."
