Burnaby Lakers lacrosse star Cam Sedgwick, who recently agreed to play another season with the local amateur lacrosse club, was named to the All-Rookie Team of the professional National Lacrosse League last week.
Sedgwick, 25, enjoyed a sterling season for the Vancouver Ravens pro club last winter, scoring 16 goals and 32 assists in just 15 games, while picking up a total of 69 loose balls.
"It's an honour to be part of this elite group of guys," said the Burnaby native. "We made the playoffs, which was great, but our focus is to bring an NLL championship to Vancouver.
"I'll continue to work hard and improve so I can contribute to that goal," he said.
Sedgwick was a key component of the Raven's success in their second season of professional lacrosse. Despite a slow start, the club won six of its last seven games and edged out the defending league champion Philadelphia Wings for the final playoff berth this season.
Lakers general manager Paul Rowbotham said he is hoping to sign his former draft pick Jeff Ratcliffe, who has played the past three winter seasons with the Wings. Ratcliffe is a Coquitlam native with 110 goals over 49 games in the pro league.
