ALBANY, NY – The Albany FireWolves of the National Lacrosse League (NLL) have signed forward Travis Longboat to a two-year contract.

Longboat was a revelation in attack for the FireWolves during the 2023-24 season, as his crafty goal scoring and hard-hitting play provided them with plenty of depth and grit between the lines. He tore his ACL on the FireWolves’ first day of training camp for the 2022-23 season and just over a year later, he scored clutch goals for Albany in the 2024 NLL Finals. Having him back for two more seasons will be crucial to the FireWolves’ continued success.

“We were very pleased and proud of how Travis responded after a serious injury,” said Albany FireWolves head coach and general manager Glenn Clark. “He worked very hard at his craft and had an exceptional season. I look forward to seeing how far Travis can go.”

The Six Nations, ON native was drafted by the New York Riptide in the 2019 Entry Draft and would go on to score 27 points in 9 games for the Riptide during the shortened 2020 season. Longboat appeared in 2 games for the Georgia Swarm in 2022, scoring 1 goal. He was signed as a free agent by the FireWolves prior to the 2022-23 season, but would miss all games due to injury. He returned the following season and had a breakout year as one of the most underrated forwards in the NLL.

During the 2023-24 regular season, Longboat was fourth in scoring for the FireWolves with 57 points on 25 goals and 32 assists, while also collecting 68 loose balls. During the playoffs, he contributed 11 points on 9 goals and 2 assists, with a clutch 3-goal performance in Game 2 of the NLL Finals.
