After the cancellation and subsequent reinstatement of the 2008 season, the Arizona Sting and Boston Blazers announced that they would not be playing in 2008.^[1] A dispersal draft was held, and Malawsky was selected by the Portland LumberJax.^[2] When the Arizona Sting ceased operations prior to the 2009 NLL season, another dispersal draft was held, and Malawsky was again selected by the Portland LumberJax.^[3]. On July 7, 2009, Malawsky was again selected in the Dispersal Draft, this time by the Philadelphia Wings as the 26th overall selection,^[4] but was subsequently traded by the Wings to the Edmonton Rush for Dan Teat.^[5]
