Govett ('93) was the Highlanders' all-time leading scorer, tallying 118 goals during his RU career. The British Columbia native played for Team Canada in the 1994 and 1998 World Games, and later assumed a leadership role for both Canada and the United States in gold medal-winning performances. Following his collegiate career, Govett played professionally for the Philadelphia Wings from 1994-1998, collecting 26 goals and 23 assists in 36 regular-season games. During his five-year pro career, the Wings won three league championships. In 1999, Govett took the next step in his career by becoming the Wings' new general manager. His talents eventually led him to Denver where he is the president and general manager of the Colorado Mammoth. Under Govett's leadership, Colorado has won three division titles, made 11 playoff appearances and captured the 2006 NLL championship. A dominant force during his playing days, Govett has become a renowned, award-winning sports business executive.
