Long Island City, NY - August 4, 2009 - Dan Hardy, one of only a handful of players to wear the immortal number 22 at Syracuse University and the eighth overall pick in the first round of the 2009 MLL Collegiate Draft by the Denver Outlaws, is the latest professional and collegiate all-time great to come on-board with Maverik Lacrosse.
