Mohegan — New England's Shawn Evans, a two-time National Lacrosse League MVP and the only player in league history to record 100 points in five consecutive seasons, signed a contract extension with the Black Wolves through 2020 on Tuesday.

Evans, acquired in a trade with the Calgary Roughnecks prior to the 2016 season, has made an immediate impact with the Black Wolves, leading the team in points (118), goals (50) and assists (68) and following that up last season with 103 points and 65 assists (both tops on the team) and finishing second with 38 goals.

"It's a great organization," Evans said in a release. "They've allowed me to take on that leadership role, being the captain, to lead this team to good things. That was a big thing when Rich (general manager Rich Lisk) and I were talking, and so far we've had good results. The team has gone from 4-14 to the playoffs.

"Now is a good opportunity to extend this, call New England my long term home and bring a championship to New England."

A native of Peterborough, Ontario, Evans was named NLL MVP in 2013 and 2015. He was also named MVP of the 2015 FIL World Indoor Lacrosse Championships while helping Canada win a gold medal. He currently ranks eighth in the NLL in career points (1,019) and seventh in assists (649).

"I think from a coaching standpoint and a team dynamic, one of the things that he does is he allows you to build around him," New England coach Glenn Clark said. "You've got an established superstar that takes a lot of responsibility, he gets a lot of attention from the other teams and it allows other players to be better. There is something to be said about the "it" and the swagger factor and Shawn gave this group and this team a little bit of that confidence right off the bat. He wears it that way, he plays that way and I think guys feed off that.

"Outside of being a great talent — obviously, we know about the points and the MVPs — I think what he does more importantly for our group is add a layer of confidence to their game that allows them to gain a couple inches and a few pounds and play a little bigger, faster and stronger."
