Black Wolves trade star goalie Kirk to Saskatchewan.

Mohegan — The New England Black Wolves announced Tuesday that they traded record-setting goalie Evan Kirk to the Saskatchewan Rush.

In exchange for Kirk, the Wolves received goalie Aaron Bold, transition player John LaFontaine, plus the the No. 8 overall pick in the 2017 National Lacrosse League Entry Draft and a second-round pick in the 2018 draft.

Kirk, the 2016 NLL Goalie of the Year, saw action in 70 games for the franchise over four seasons, compiling a record of 26-32 while picking up 2,385 saves. His 676 saves in 2017 were a franchise record, eclipsing his previous mark of 620, set in 2016.

The No. 6 overall pick by the Minnesota Swarm in the 2011 draft, Kirk signed a twoyear contract extension with the Black Wolves on July 26, although no terms were released.

In 2017, Bold compiled a record of 11-4 in goal for the Rush, stopping 565 shots with a goals-against average of 11.22. In 12 NLL seasons, he has 3,776 saves in 179 career games. A three-time member of the NLL All-Pro Second Team, Bold has a career mark of 71-39.

LaFontaine saw action in 15 games for the Rush last season, picking up five points on one goal and four assists. He also scooped up a career-best tying 39 loose balls while causing 10 turnovers.

Local golf

• Jeffrey Evanier (Clinton CC) and amateur Max Theodorakis (Ridgefield) share the lead heading into Wednesday's final round of the 83rd Connecticut Open at Ellington Ridge Country Club. Evanier carded back-to-back rounds of 67 over the par-72 course to finish at 10-under along with Theodorakis, who shot an 8-under 64 in the second round. Two players with ties to Black Hall Club in Old Lyme made the cut, which included 45 players at 2-over or better. Matt Smith, the current Black Hall assistant, and former assistant Adam Rainaud are tied for seventh at even-par 144. Smith followed a 73 with a 71 while Rainaud, the defending champion, fell off the pace with a 75 after shooting a 69 in the first round.
