John Grant Jr. and Adam Jones of the Colorado Mammoth have been named the National Lacrosse League’s Player and Rookie of the month, respectively, for the month of January.
Grant is in his 12th NLL season and his second with the Mammoth. He leads the league in scoring after four games with 16 goals and 21 assists. Jones is third in the league with 12 goals and fourth in the league with 22 points.
The NLL also handed out its Week 4 Players of the Week awards on Wednesday. Toronto Rock forward Josh Sanderson was named the league’s Offensive Player of the Week as he posted hat-tricks in both of Toronto’s two victories last weekend.
Edmonton Rush goalkeeper Aaron Bold was named the Defensive Player of the Week for saving 43 of the 48 shots he faced in a 16-5 victory over the Washington Stealth last Saturday at Comcast Arena.
Andrew Suitor of Minnesota was also named the league’s Transition Player of the Week and Jordan MacIntosh won his first Rookie of the Week Award.
The monthly and weekly player award winners are selected by a vote of the league’s general managers and head coaches.
