Regatas Corrientes signed F Lou Roe.

I believe Roe was on the US national team in Saint Petersburg 1992 for the Goodwill Games. He's a good player. Very skinny, though. I'm kind of surprised he's still playing, because he's probably about 40 now.

Hi Matt, he is 38 and had a great carrer in Europe. Recently he was playing in Mexico doing pretty well. Last night scored 20 to lead Regatas to the victory.
