Kyle Ross (born May 12, 1983) is a professional lacrosse player for the Washington Stealth in the National Lacrosse League.
Professional career
His career began in Minnesota Swarm, where he spend two years. He was then, in 2009, chosen by Boston Blazers in expansion draft. He established there as a useful player, while they were using him especially on their special teams. He was a "loose ball guy" and would protect teammates in man-down situations.[1] In 2010 he was traded, alongside with Daryl Veltman, Jon Harnett and first round selection in the 2010 Entry Draft for NLL star Josh Sanderson.[2] But Ross didn't spend a long time there and was immediately traded to Toronto Rock. He found his place in their roster and he helped his team to win Champion's Cup.
In July 2011, Ross was traded to the Washington Stealth for goaltender Matt Roik.
International career
Because of his Czech ancestry, Ross was able to play for the Czech Republic in the 2007 ILF World Indoor Lacrosse Championship and 2011 FIL World Indoor Lacrosse Championship.
