The 2005 Demolition Derby will move in to full throttle tomorrow morning.

Action starts early at the Lakeshore Foundation down in Birmingham, Alabama. The guys have been reviewing a lot of video as well as training in the facilities that have been provided for us at that great facility.

This time we are down to a single team at this tournament, which features the top-4 teams from last year's USQRA Division 1 Nationals, along with the Division 2 Champs and the rebuilding Swedes.

Coach Benoit Labrecque, who worked with a lot of substitutions at the Coloplast International, had been patiently wringing out a few wrinkles with the newer players in Tampa, will now have the full national team at his disposal, although we have made a few substitutions due to injuries and personal circumstances back home.

All the best to the Sask boyz back in the tundra. The 'bama boyz send their best from the sun and promise to go for the gold again at the Derby.

We'll see how it all plays out, starting tomorrow morning...
