Halifax Thunderbirds Sign Forward Cam Milligan to One-Year Deal
The Halifax Thunderbirds have added a new offensive weapon to their roster, signing forward Cam Milligan to a one-year contract. The National Lacrosse League (NLL) franchise announced the agreement earlier this week, securing the services of the dynamic scorer as they prepare for the upcoming season. Milligan’s addition bolsters an already potent Thunderbirds offense, aiming to make a deeper playoff push this year.
A Versatile and Proven Scorer
Cam Milligan, a 27-year-old native of Peterborough, Ontario, has established himself as a versatile forward with a knack for finding the back of the net. Known for his offensive IQ and his ability to contribute in multiple ways, Milligan is equally adept at scoring and playmaking, making him a dual threat on the floor.
Milligan brings with him an impressive track record from both his time in the NLL and in the Major Series Lacrosse (MSL) league. A standout with the Peterborough Lakers, Milligan has proven his ability to perform at a high level, contributing to his team’s success with consistent offensive production. His time in the Arena Lacrosse League (ALL) has also been notable, where he posted eye-catching numbers and helped his teams achieve several victories.
His previous NLL experience came in brief stints with teams like the Rochester Knighthawks, where he gained valuable experience in the professional ranks. While his NLL career has yet to see him establish himself as a full-time impact player, the Thunderbirds appear confident that Milligan can elevate his game and become a key contributor this season.
A New Weapon for the Thunderbirds
For the Halifax Thunderbirds, signing Milligan to a one-year contract is a move that brings added depth to their forward unit. The Thunderbirds already boast a talented roster featuring top-tier offensive talent such as Clarke Petterson and Austin Shanks. With Milligan in the mix, Halifax is hoping to add another layer of creativity and scoring punch to an already dangerous attack.
Head coach Mike Accursi has expressed his excitement about the acquisition, emphasizing Milligan’s potential to make an immediate impact. “Cam is a player we’ve had our eye on for a while,” said Accursi. “He has the ability to change games with his offensive skillset, and we believe he can take his game to the next level here in Halifax.”
The Road Ahead
As the Thunderbirds gear up for the 2024 NLL season, the signing of Cam Milligan signals their commitment to building a team capable of contending for a championship. Milligan, eager to prove himself on the NLL stage, will have a chance to showcase his talents in Halifax’s high-octane system. If he can replicate his past success, the Thunderbirds may have found a crucial piece for their championship puzzle.
