RAVENS ACQUIRE CURT MALAWSKY
NLL
January 16, 2004

The Vancouver Ravens have acquired forward Curt Malawsky from the
Rochester Knighthawks in exchange for a conditional first round
selection in the 2005 or 2006 Entry Draft. The trade was completed
early on Friday morning.

In exchange for Malawsky, the Knighthawks will receive a conditional
first round selection in either 2005 or 2006 Entry Draft. The year of
the selection is contingent upon how many games Malawsky plays this
season. Malawsky is expected to be in the lineup for tonight's game
against Buffalo, which will be his first action of the 2003-2004
regular season.

Malawsky was drafted by the Knighthawks in the first round (second
overall selection) in the Western Canadian portion of the 1998 NLL
Entry Draft. In six seasons of play, Malawsky has established himself
as one of the game's premiere forwards. The British Columbia native
has averaged 22 goals and 25 assists per season. Malawsky has scored
153 career goals, and has recorded 159 career assists for a total of
312 career points heading into this season. These stats include 19
goals, and 10 assists for a total of 29 total points in post-season
play. Malawsky leaves Rochester as the fifth-leading scorer in
franchise history. The Malawsky name will still have a presence with
the Knighthawks. Derek Malawsky (brother of Curt) is second on the
Knighthawks roster in scoring with 14 points (5G, 9A) through three
games this season.
