- 10/15/05 - Signings 10/14/05: 4 coming back and 1 new face
Brock Boyle is signed, sealed and delivered for 2006. The mohawk coiffed man is back to help lead the defense.
Captain Ryan Cousins also has signed for 2006. Good timing, since I made the winning bid on NLL auctions on the 13th for the 27' X 22' first gamesheet displayed signed by Ryan along with his picture. It should be here in a couple weeks.
In addition, the well spoken Travis Hill and tough guy Michael Kilby are signed for 2006.
We also have a new guy signed in Rory McDade, who is also new to the NLL and who played for Burnaby in the WLA as a forward in 2005.
More to come as the countdown to a Wings beat down is 2 months and 22 days.
