Calgary, AB – Calgary Roughnecks General Manager Kurt Silcott announced today that the team has signed defencemen Jeff Moleski and Ryan Davis to one-year deals. Terms and conditions of the contracts were not disclosed.

"Jeff is one of the hardest working players in lacrosse. He plays good honest defense and is a threat in the transition game as well," said Kurt Silcott, Roughnecks General Manager. "His travel from Prince George is a bit of an issue, but he's always ready to go on game day."

Last season, Moleski's 2nd in the NLL, the Prince George, BC native played in 16 regular season games scoring 9 points (3 goals, 6 assists), picked up 93 loose balls and collected 22 penalty minutes in 2006.
