FIRESTORM AT NATIONALS 2010

Ladies and gents, we’re off to Nationals! Check out this post for the info on how to follow us at the biggest tournament of 2010!

NEWS: FIRESTORM SHOWCASE 2010

The 2010 Showcase took place on April 13, at the University of Queensland fields. In a nail-biter of a game, Moreton Bay FIGJAM got an early lead before Firestorm took over through the middle of the game. FIGJAM wouldn’t say die, bringing down discs everywhere to get themselves back on serve and bring the game to universe point. Firestorm managed to wrap the game up 12-11 only seconds before the lights went out for the night.

Thanks to everyone who came out and watched for supporting us and giving us an audience to play for – Firestorm greatly appreciates the support of everyone who follows us. Also a special thanks to Mike for arranging the game, to the FIGJAM players for giving us a great preparation, and to the guys who bought/cooked/filmed and so on to make it a great evening.

We hope to continue to see you at training, supporting the club.

NEWS: BC INVITATIONAL

Firestorm hosted the 2010 BC Invitational, at the State Hockey Centre on February 27-28. For more information, see the BC Invitational page.

FIRESTORM SQUAD

This season, for the first time, we have introduced a Squad within the club. This Squad is comprised of the players who have made a commitment to the club, and have full access to everything that happens within the club. Firestorm teams will be selected from the Squad only in the 2010 season, though players do not need to be trying out for Nationals to be accepted into the Squad.

Please see the Current Players page for the 2010 Squad.

GETTING INVOLVED

Firestorm is still young and growing, and we’re looking to add keen, talented players to the club. If you’re interested in coming down and getting involved, feel free to come and catch up with one of us at an upcoming event, or shoot us an email.
