Stealth activates Sorensen

The Washington Stealth announced on Tuesday that defenseman Kyle Sorensen has been activated from the physically unable to perform list.

Sorensen, the Stealth’s assistant captain, suffered a knee injury over the summer playing with the Peterborough Lakers of Major Series Lacrosse. Sorensen, who prior to this season had only missed six games in his career, will be available for the Stealth’s next game March 25, when they host the Boston Blazers at Comcast Arena.

Last season, Sorensen played an important role in the Stealth’s run to the NLL championship. He played in eleven regular season games, collecting 45 loose balls, scoring two goals and dishing out six assists. In 58 career games, Sorensen has scored 43 points (18 goals, 25 assists) and picked up 277 loose balls.

Sorensen is in his fifth NLL season after being selected second overall by the Stealth in the 2006 Entry Draft.

“Having Kyle back for the stretch run is a huge boost for us,” Stealth General Manager Doug Locker said. “Not only is he a tremendous player, but Kyle is also an outstanding leader. We are very excited to have him back on the active roster.”
