Busy Weekend/Wizards Acquire Cristman

Cristman goes up against Jonathan Leathers back in April.

Seems like forever ago since I've posted here...sorry for the delays. We'll get into all the excitement from this weekend in a little bit, but first we'd like to let you know we just traded for two-year MLS veteran Adam Cristman from the New England Revolution for a 3rd round pick in the upcoming MLS SuperDraft and allocation money. Below are a couple of goals from Adam this year scored against the Galaxy and here's a link to his bio at mlsnet.com. 

He has scored 10 goals and added five assists in his two MLS seasons. This year was shortened by a toe injury, but he has been jogging already this offseason. Last year, he was a finalist for the Gatorade Rookie of the Year award that was won by now-Rangers player Maurice Edu. The release will be up shortly at kcwizards.com. 

Cristman, who played at the same university as Wizards Head Coach Curt Onalfo and assistant coach Kris Kelderman, scored a hat trick Oct. 20, 2006 against Virginia Tech, alma mater of Wizards goalkeeper/fitness coach Dave Tenney. 

In talking with Adam today, he mentioned that he's excited for him and his wife to come to Kansas City and start chasing tornadoes. I like his spirit!
