Ryan Cousins (born April 1, 1981 in Toronto, Ontario) is a lacrosse player for the Rochester Knighthawks in the National Lacrosse League. He was selected to play in the National Lacrosse League All-Star Game in both 2004 and 2005 Cousins plays for the Victoria Shamrocks of the WLA in the offseason.[1]
Cousins was awarded the National Lacrosse League Defensive Player of the Year Award in both the 2007 and 2008 seasons.[2][3] During the 2009 NLL season, he was named a reserve to the All-Star game.[4]
In July 2011, Cousins was traded to the Edmonton Rush, along with Aaron Wilson and Kevin Croswell, in exchange for a number of entry draft picks.[5] Three months later, Cousins was traded again, this time to the Rochester Knighthawks. The Rush sent Cousins, Alex Kedoh-Hill, and Andy Secore to Rochester for Knighthawks captain Shawn Williams and Aaron Bold.[6]
