Prout joined the Mammoth in 2004, and was named the captain of the Mammoth prior to the 2006 season. He was named the Championship game MVP when the Mammoth won the NLL championship in 2006.[4]

In 2008, Prout led the National Lacrosse League in assists with 67, a career high.[5] During the 2009 NLL season, he was named a reserve to the All-Star game.[6]
