Hey everyone,

Just wanted to keep everyone updated on the USA National Team situation. Unfortunately, as many already know, RamQ went bot on monday. This is very unfortunate as Ram had a big part in the growth of the National team through the years. However, with RamQ going bot, I have taken over duties for the NT for the rest of the season.

I know many of you have been disgusted with the way the NT has performed the last couple seasons and probably expected a win yesterday. Unfortunately, we did not win that game, and I'll be the first to say that I could have done better. However, we were in a tough situation as it was and wasn't even guaranteed to advance in the tournament had we won. We were low on enthusiasm and I felt that the only way to even have a chance later on was to TIE. We ended up losing it in the 4th quarter after winning all game though.

Not all is lost though! I have begun the scouting process for the NT to begin preparing for the future. With the lack of communication the past two seasons, the NT depth chart was old and community members weren't aware of what we were working with. I can say from those that I have scouted thus far, we definitely have some good looking players in the pipeline but there is work to be done.

I will be continuing the scouting process for the rest of the season and many of you will see your players getting called up. This is so that I can update the NT pipeline. If you believe you may have a unique player with MVP or higher potential, please feel free to send me an email. I know salary isn't always the best indicator of skills, and there are some good players out there that weren't previously on our charts.

Also, if you have some opinions about the NT and would like to discuss, feel free to come on over to the USA offsite. If you dont have an account,go to:

Thanks Phyr! Definitely has been a transitioning stage so far, but hopefully things will get better once all of the dirty work is done.
