Who needs Bo?  Mac has Joe!

Joey Cupido, a four-year veteran of the Marauder football team, was named to the National Lacrosse League (NLL) All-Rookie Team for the 2013 season on May 6.

Starting cornerback Cupido was a First-Team OUA All-Star and All-Canadian in 2012 as the Marauders returned to the Vanier Cup final for a second-consecutive year. He amassed 26 solo tackles and two interceptions over the course of the OUA conference season.

With Buffalo Bandits transition player Dhane Smith as the lone representative from the East Division, six of the seven rookies honoured represent the West Division including Calgary Roughnecks forward Joe Resetarits, Colorado Mammoth transition player Cupido, Edmonton Rush forwards Curtis Knight and Mark Matthews, and Minnesota Swarm forward Shayne Jackson and transition player Kiel Matisz.

Cupido led all rookies and ranked 11th in the NLL with a team-high 101 loose balls, tied for 10th in the league with 20 forced turnovers and finished eighth in rookie scoring with 15 points (6+9) in 15 games played for the Mammoth. The Hamilton, Ontario native was Colorado's fifth-round (38th overall) selection in the 2011 Draft. Cupido becomes the first player drafted in the fifth round or later to be voted on to the NLL All-Rookie Team since Brian Langtry, a sixth-round pick in 1998, made the team as a rookie in 2003.

The 2013 NLL Season Awards are determined by a vote of the league's Board of Governors, General Managers and Head Coaches. Due to a tie in the voting, the All-Rookie Team was expanded to seven players this year.
