Josh Gillam Selected in the 2010 Nationl League Lacrosse Draft

HANOVER, N.H. – Former dual-athlete at Dartmouth, Josh Gillam (Peterborough, Ont.) was recently selected in the 2010 National League Lacrosse Draft by the Minnesota Swarm. Gillam played hockey and lacrosse for the Big Green for four seasons.

The Swarm grabbed the talented forward as its fifth pick in the second round. According to Paul Tutka of NLLInsider.com, Gillam was a “huge steal for a guy of his talents. He has amazing talent and is top-5 on talent and skill alone.” Gillam recorded 46 points (32g, 14a), and 28 ground balls in 38 games over four seasons with the Big Green.

Gillam is also pursuing a hockey career, but if he plays lacrosse, General Manager Marty O'Neill knows he has a talented player on his hands.

“Josh just slipped to us,” O'Neill said . “If he decided to put hockey aside, he would have been a Top-5 pick in this draft. That is the kind of talent he has. We don't know where we are with him, but if he decides to play lacrosse, we will welcome him with open arms.”
