New Season Ch Ch Changes

With the dust barely settled on last season, we forge ahead with a new one. The league appears to have been extremely busy during the off season. Things are going to be interesting this season in the Bronze League. Lets take a look at some of the changes happening for this new season.

For Starters we have four teams that are no more (more or less). The Hurricanes washed their squad of all the ringers, and have reformed under the moniker of BANDITS. They have some sweet new jerseys, and a full roster. They also merged with the remaining boys from Mid Air to form a super team of sorts. Expect big things from these guys throughout the season.

So Mid Air and the Hurricanes are the first two teams we will not see in the standings, now for the next one, the Arch Angels. The Angels are gone, and reformed under the name, Ice Kings. The Ice Kings now have a Silver League and a Bronze League squad, which the Killer thinks is great. I think every team in the Bronze League should be affiliated with a Silver League team. This gives guys a spot to move into if they feel they are ready to take their game up a level. Or vice versa if they feel the Silver is too much.

The fourth team you wont see this season is the Ice Gators. A team that fought hard all the way to the finals with no subs. The Gators have split up. Mike Wolf has moved to Montana, Andrew Busboom (Goalie) has signed with the Senators as has the duo of Zach Gunter and Roger Bishop (Much to the chagrin, <- misspelled?, of the Stingers). No word on where the other Gators have ended up. One report has them in the swamps of Louisiana fighting alligators with their bare hands.

So we now have 8 teams, all with solid rosters. The teams this season are:

Keller Indians
Stingers
Senators
Jaguars
Bandits
Ice Kings
Spider Monkeys
Silver Bullets

All are reporting strong rosters, and this season looks to be the greatest ever in the Bronze League. Congrats to last season’s champs, the Keller Indians.

Right now it looks like there has been lots of roster juggling going on in the off season. We have several new players joining the league. Some teams have moved up their better players and made room for rookies which is the spirit of the Bronze league. Some teams have remained the same (why fix what isn’t broken).

There was talk of moving to point streak, in an effort to avoid any BS, we will be rolling out with schedules and stats on league lineup same as always again until further notice. No sense in losing three or four weeks of stats cause Point Streak wasn’t set up right? The schedule is up on league lineup now, however it is not final. There are going to be some changes to it tonight, so until we make a blog announcement here stating that the schedule is final, consider it only tentative.

Schedule will be finalized hopefully tonight.

Also just letting everyone know that Gator 156 is now going to be Ice King 156 as the Gators are no more

Ice Queens? Just a thought, but that name is gay. Ice Kings? Bandits?

These new team names are lame.

I agree with ^ That guy. Bandits I can live with but Ice Kings is a bad one.

If their season goes south, they will be remembered as the Royal Flush...
