Long Division

Here is the latest update out of Mother Russia. There will be two silver teams. So far, the cores of the team are such:

Team 1: Peter, Mark, Neal, Beege, Lynch, Brad, Jamie, Ryan (total of 8)
Team 2: Andy, Steve, Jerrod, Chris, David, Kraus, Tony, Wilson (total of 8)

Team 1, the team that will retain the name "Red Army", is also beginning contract negotiation talks with Hoefer (who at last contact said he could play for one month), Pat (who is 50/50 on playing), and Ben (status: unknown). If just one of the aforementioned players can fill a roster spot, then that only leaves the Red Army to find a goalie, which is no mean feat.

Team 2, a team bearing a striking resemblance to spring season's team, will look to add a few players to their roster to hopefully make a run deeper into the playoffs this summer. While no names have been released yet (keeping with club policy) many believe GMAS (aka grandmas) may be working to bring someone in.

If either team needs players they can call upon individual players to join them. Mark received a message this evening about players looking for teams. More information on this to come if necessary.

That is it for now, registration/rosters are due in 10 days. The final rosters will be posted when finalized. If any breaking news/trades occur then I will update.

SIDENOTE: Brad, Peter, and Mark will be participating in a tournament in Winchester, VA on May 31st in a fundraiser to build Virginia Tech a roller hockey rink. Brad, an alumni of the school, got the brothers along to fill out the team of 6. Mark, coincidentally was already registered in the fundraiser, as he still needs 18 more hours of community service to satisfy his sentence for hosting a caribou fighting ring in his basement. He also owed Canada 14 caribou, but that case was settled for a keg of Labatt Blue.
