The Washington Bayhawks are a professional men's field lacrosse team based in Annapolis, Maryland. Since the 2001 season, they have played in Major League Lacrosse. From 2006 to 2008, they were in the Eastern Conference. From the league's inception in 2001 through 2005, they were in the National Division. With the MLL contraction for the 2009 season from 10 to 6 teams (due to the state of the U.S. economy), there will only be one conference. The team was based in the Baltimore, Maryland metro area as the Baltimore Bayhawks from 2001–2006.

[edit] Franchise history

Logo from 2001–06 as Baltimore Bayhawks

The Bayhawks have played two seasons at Homewood Field on the Homewood campus of Johns Hopkins University (2001 and 2003) and played its home games during the 2002 season at Ravens Stadium now called M&T Bank Stadium in downtown Baltimore, currently the home of the Baltimore Ravens. They played their home games at Johnny Unitas Stadium on the campus of Towson University from 2004 to 2006. The Bayhawks have won National Division championships in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2005. They made the 2004 playoffs as a wild card.

The Bayhawks were the only Major League Lacrosse charter team to have a winning season in each of the first five years of the league.

The Long Island Lizards are the Bayhawks biggest rival. Thay have competed with them for the championship four times, and are the closest to them in stats.

[edit] Move to Washington, D.C.

There had been months of rumors about the Bayhawks moving from Baltimore, and a lot of the speculation centered around the team's moving to Washington, D.C.. On November 3, 2006, Inside Lacrosse received an email entitled “Major League Lacrosse is coming to Washington D.C.” announcing a pre-season press conference at Nathan’s of Georgetown on November 14. In addition, the domain name washingtonbayhawks.com is registered with a contact name of Kerry Pucillo, Director of Corporate Operations for Major League Lacrosse. The e-mail contact for the domain was her e-mail address and the street address given for the domain registry is that of Major League Lacrosse’s headquarters. The domain was registered September 2006.

The MLL approved the move to Washington. ^[1] The Bayhawks played their first home game of the 2007 season on May 12th at George Mason Stadium in Fairfax, Virginia with the subsequent five home games at Georgetown University's Multi-Sport Field. George Mason Stadium served as the primary field for five home games during 2008 with one home game at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

The Bayhawks subsequently reached a three-year deal to play all home games at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium through 2011.^[2]

[edit] Mikey Powell/Connor Gill trade

On March 20, 2007, the Bayhawks completed a trade with the Boston Cannons. In the trade, the Cannons gave up Connor Gill and Ryan Curtis and in return they got Mikey Powell, Ben DeFelice, and a 2008 conditional draft choice.^[3] Both players have local ties to the Washington metro area.
