Any thoughts on MLRH's midwestern expansion push?

[NLane]

Why not? There are other teams out there that want to play the offsides and hitting type of game. It's just the financial thing that keeps it from happening. It's expensive to have a MLRH team and backers in this type of economy are not just waiting in the wings to throw money at inline teams. MLRH has been thru so much that they can now inform interested parties as to how much time and money it takes to do it correctly. The website has much improved with updates and posting the scores/stats and the teams have been very professional in show and action this year. I also want to say to the teams toward the bottom of the standings thank you for continuing to play as professional athletes to finish out the season. Most of the names that started the season are also ending the season and I applaud all of you. I look forward to a continued growth of MLRH (but I really don't look forward to playing against Derek Desjardin!) and hope next season is even better.

Just curious, why don't you want to play against Derek Desjardin?

[NLane]

Because I HATE cheering against a player (as I don't play) that has been on a team that I've cheered for in the past. And he just racks up those PIMs!!

The bulldogs are going to get murdered in this league. I went to the Tryout and wow......good luck fellas!

[MDE3]

Was that a serious comment, or one intended to just pacify the other teams? I take it you made the team?

I can make my own assumptions, however I would much rather hear from those directly involved..at least the other side of the story.....

[GROWL]

me neither... then again perhaps only you , me, mr yoder, and the folks at speed hockey may understand.

Alex,
Nice low blow, however, if you look on the date of that email it would probably say something around NOVEMBER of 2003. I had just heard that you saw our team and wanted us on the team. I am out of the loop on all of this stuff, but I have heard stories from my friends/teammates about your Management tactics. Like dropping our team from your plans without even telling us. As far as "Not making any of your tryouts," I was there and it was a joke. You guys will have trouble beating a Midget Team, let alone a team that Yoder or any other superstars play on. I wish you guys the best of luck and feel sorry for your players!

Sincerely,
Kurt Wampach

Why would anyone not involved with this organization in any way, or the player in question, have the least idea of what was going on?

Sometimes that's the problem with cryptic cheap shots....it makes others curious not only about the implied events, but also about the character of those who issue them.

Heres the deal........we were told that we were the second team in the Chicagoland area, funded by Alex (BulldogGM). Our PR/Manager called the league and found out that the deposit for our team had not been made, when Alex said it had. After he told us that we were being retracted from the league, our Manager called the PIHA and found out that he never even told them as well. Bottom line is that he lied to us and misinformed us about everything. Luckily we are still going to participate at the Pro Level that we all hoped for. As far as their team goes, well.......I will let you fans of the MLRH figure them out for yourself.
