The roster is in! The Grizzlies welcome four new faces to the roster, with all picks in the year 11 draft making the cut.
Coach AutoAxpert also announced the team captains for the upcoming season. Joining veterans Jeff Rodenberger (10 years, receivers) and Konstantinos Laskaridis (5 years, throwers) are stout line-of-scrimmage specialist Onuchukwu Uchy (linemen) and Silver Dietmar Althoff medalist Hartmut Hass (blitzers).
The coach also briefly thanked
Luca Mondelli,
Owen Stenhausl and offensive starter
Tom Horn Jr. for their time in the Green Shirt and their outstanding professional behaviour, and wished luck to Year 9 first round pick Shon Coleman, who leaves the Grizzlies for KFC South side Aldente Scimitars.
Finally, the team took time to commemorate former standout players Siffridus Draken and Gene Upshaw, in a somber ceremony where two banners bearing their numbers were raised to the rafters of Old Palace Stadium, joining the other great Grizzlies of the past.
Still suffering from the effects of
the Red Wednesday (congratulations to SuperBowl X Champions Templehof Thunder, by the way...), the top brass of the Praag franchise confirmed that the focus of the team remains on the future, and the target is to build a solid foundation to bring back success to the shores of river Lynsk.
