Blades Players Rank Top of Level 6

The Level 6 Blades keep winning and scoring this Fall Season! Brynne Van Putten commented, "I can't keep track of all the great plays and who scored how many goals. They just keep coming. I think just about everyone of our forwards scored. Richard was amazing in net even without the warm-up. It seemed like he was flying from side to side. I was exhausted just watching him. The passing and teamwork was fantastic. We are truly a team."
Keith Michaelson currently ranks #1, and other recently top ranked players include Mark Terwilliger, Peter Bentley, Carl Cliver, Ryan Gallacher, and Dino Carrere. Congratulations to all of the Blades for an amazing season!

Game times will be from 3:45 PM - 8:30 PM. The league should be starting around Sunday mid June . more info to follow

Cost is 300.00 per person, some of the leagues features are:
Supplemental insurance coverage while playing hockey at PISC for the duration of the current 12-week league series.
12 FREE hockey clinics with coaching (ages 16 and over) on Wed. nights from 7:30-9:30 PM.
One game per week for 12 weeks.

Hopefully we will have enough players to field a full "Blades" team, if we need more players we will ask the league to supplement our squad.

Please email Brynne at crittercatchers@cox.net
If there is anyone else you know who might want to play, let me know. This will conflict with Lakewood games, but if the game is eaqrly, you may be able to do both. Also i am checking to see if a player can split a slot. Please let me know if you are a firm yes or no if you are on this list . Thanks, Brynne 949-636-0933
