Moving on to Montgomery

Our Florida Project athletes will next be going to the Capital City Clash, which will arguably be the strongest 8-team tournament of the year this season, and will feature a multi-national European team that is presently training with our Florida Project group. A tournament schedule will soon be released, but the Clash will be held on February 18-20.

The Euro team will consist of:

SWI - 0.5 - Andi Braendli
SWI - 0.5 - Christian Haehnel
SWI - 1.0 - Roger Suter
FIN - 1.5 - Antti Koskela
SWE - 2.0 - Stefan Jansson
SWE - 2.5 - Roger Lindberg
SWI - 3.0 Cornel Sonderer

Two Florida Project Teams will attend, which will be supplemented by South Florida Rattler players.

Aside from the Canada Ice, who are seeded 1st at the Clash, th other teams at this high-performance tournament include the Texas Stampede, Phoenix Heat, Hoveround Lightning, South Florida Rattlers, TNT, Tampa Generals, and Team Europe.

0.5 - Daniel Paradis

Ian Chan will be playing with his home team, the BC Bandits this weekend at the Mile High Massacre, which starts today in Denver, Colorado. He'll be flying back east to suit up for the Ice at the Montgomery tournament.

Speaking of massacres is a good segway to another Murderball review, this time by my favourite wheelchair rugby scribe, Ed Hooper.

~That is all~
