Congratulations, we are officially America’s “It” sport! Wherever you travel today, lacrosse is being played every- where throughout this great country of ours. From the West coast to the East, the North to the South and every- where in between, boys and girls youth programs, club and school programs, indoor and outdoor, the sport of lacrosse is on a roll. These are very exciting times for Major League Lacrosse! This summer we’ve got games in Atlanta, Boca Raton, and Tampa. And we’re bringing the 2013 All-Star Game to Charlotte and look forward to some great southern hospitality. Last year we saw the addition of the Charlotte Hounds and the Ohio Machine and this year we will see the newly re-branded New York Lizards take the MLL into New York City. It’s great to see the commitment the Lizards’ ownership has to expanding its footprint beyond Long Island and into the whole tri-state area! Our sport has better television coverage than ever thanks to Major League Lacrosse’s partners at ESPN and CBS Sports! This year we’re back with 6 games on ESPN2, we’ve increased our games on CBS Sports Network to 20, and we’ll air 19 regionally televised games and 25 live games on ESPN3. We’ll have 15 games playing on You- Tube so you’ll be able to watch MLL action anywhere – on your computer, laptop, or any mobile device! Got a favorite player you met after a game and want to learn more about them? Then be sure to catch “Inside the MLL”, our 30-minute magazine show every Thursday night on CBS Sports Network. We take you behind the scenes with player features, highlights, expert analysis and exclusive interviews. And check out our website www.majorleaguelacrosse.com, featuring up to the minute breaking news, the hottest highlights, and exclusive content you won’t find anywhere else. On August 24-25, the 2013 MLL Championship Weekend is being played at PPL Park in Philadelphia. The great state of Pennsylvania is a hotbed for lacrosse and we can’t wait to show off the MLL in the city of brotherly LAX! A big shout out to our sponsors and fans! The MLL family is getting bigger and stronger every day and we couldn’t do it without YOU! You’re AWESOME! Dream BIG, Take a Shot, and remember… Don’t Quit! Jake 2 FRONT OFFICE AND COACHING STAFF Pat Bowlen President and Chief Executive Officer Denver Broncos and Denver Outlaws Pat Bowlen enters his 30th year as President and CEO of the Denver Broncos and his eighth of the Denver Out- laws in 2013, and he is still the only two-decade owner of a major-league sports team in Colorado history. The Broncos’ and Outlaws’ President and CEO has fashioned a powerful reputation among his peers as a bold, dynamic leader who is single-minded in his pursuit of excellence, whether representing the Broncos, the Outlaws, the city of Denver, the state of Colorado, Major League Lacrosse or the National Football League. His status and reputation as an owner were recognized within the state on April 10, 2007, when Mr. Bowlen was inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame. For many years, Mr. Bowlen’s reputation as an outstanding owner has been well known nationally. In 1987, he finished second in The Sporting News Executive of the Year balloting. In December 2000, ESPN conducted a fan poll asking which NFL owner would be the best for which to play. Mr. Bowlen finished first among all NFL own- ers with 44.7 percent of the more than 60,000 votes cast. Mr. Bowlen has been well respected for many years by fans, players, coaches, his peers and NFL executives. Pat Bowlen was introduced as the majority owner of the Denver Broncos on March 23, 1984, and that announce- ment triggered a new era in franchise history. Mr. Bowlen and the Bowlen family acquired 100 percent ownership of the Broncos in July 1985, and currently his brother John Bowlen owns a minority interest in the Broncos. Mr. Bowlen was born in Prairie du Chien, Wis., where he attended high school. He went on to the University of Oklahoma, earning degrees in both business (1965) and law (1968). After successful careers in oil, gas and real estate, he purchased the Denver Broncos in 1984. He is chairman of the board of the Denver Broncos Charities Fund and in that capacity has donated more than $25 million to charitable organizations in the Denver area since the inception of that fund in 1993. Mr. Bowlen served as the Honorary Chairman of the Colorado Special Olympics for 19 years. He has served as the Honorary Chairman of the Stadium Stampede (formerly the Colorado Family Classic) to benefit St. Joseph’s Hospital Foun- dation for 27 years, and this is his
