Happy New Year!  At first I thought the season would never get here and now it is “full on.”  I am really looking forward to seeing you this weekend and getting a win.  The Wings got better in the off season adding; former Wings great John Tucker, as the new Offensive Coordinator; Paul Stewart, as the Director of Scouting; and new Wings players Dan Teat, Jason Crosbie, Bill McGlone, Josh Sims, Kevin Huntley, Mike Ward, Kyle Smedley and the return of John Christmas. We feel our players can successfully compete against any team in the league.

I am not going to dissect last Friday night’s game. Suffice it to say it was disappointing and not what I had hoped for. The Titans are a very good team winning the Eastern Division last year and competing in the championship game. They brought it to us and we have a good understanding of what we need to do to get better. I have a lot of confidence in the coaching staff and our players. Our upcoming opponent the Boston Blazers also had a disappointing opening so Saturday night’s game should be very exciting between two very proud teams.

This will be the 24^th season of Wings lacrosse. That’s quite an accomplishment for the organization and Wings Fans. We have seen the best and worst of times in a league and sport that was not given a chance to make it two years. Thanks to dedicated support from staff, you, fans before you, current and former Wings….. We are still loyal, loud and proud in the stands in what is now the fastest growing sport in America! Now let’s make some noise this Saturday night and get this season going in the right direction.
