Professional career
Cittadino was originally drafted by the Colorado Mammoth in the National Lacrosse League, but did not play in 2007 due to injury. He was acquired by Boston with Sean Morris as Brian Langtry was traded back to the Mammoth following the 2008 NLL expansion draft.[2] However, before the 2008 NLL season began, the Blazers announced that they would not play in the 2008 season.[3] A dispersal draft was held, but Cittadino was not selected and became a free agent.
