Fort Worth, TX (January 10, 2023) – The Panther City Lacrosse Club has acquired right-handed forward Jake Fox from the New York Riptide, the team announced today. In exchange, the club sent defenseman Chad Cummings to New York. 

“We’d like to thank Chad for his time with the Panther City Lacrosse Club as he was an instrumental leader for us in our inaugural season,” Panther City General Manager Bob Hamley said. “Chad is the consummate professional and we wish him the best as he enters the next phase of his career.”
