Denver, CO – The Colorado Mammoth has continued to adjust its lineup in preparation for the Dec. 30 National Lacrosse League season opener, signing free-agent forward Jordan Cornfield to a one-year contract.

The left-handed Cornfield, 24, was released by the Edmonton Rush, for whom he scored two goals in six games as a rookie last season. The 6-foot, 210-pound native of Edmonton, Alberta, played last summer in the Western Lacrosse Association, tallying 21 goals and 22 assists in 18 games for the Burnaby (British Columbia) Lakers.

“Jordan gives us added depth at the lefty forward position and he has the potential to be a consistent scorer,” Mammoth general manger Steve Govett said. “We’re curious to see what he can do.”

The Mammoth released forward Cam Monroe to make room for Cornfield on the 23-man roster.
