Orangeville Americans Sign Older Players to Add Solid Veteran Presence

 

November 2nd, 2011

2 months into the first ever season of the Orangeville Americans has been a wild ride for the team. With an impressive opening record of 4 - 8 - 4 the team feels that they should be 11 - 2 - 3. "We have had a great deal of success training these young players and continue to get stronger, but we have lost 7 games against top teams and we need to be better then that. When you hold a lead going into the third by 1 or 2 goals, it comes down to little mistakes and discipline and with the additions of our new players that should help us in the long run." says Coach Fines who is optimistic this will shake up the lineup.

The Americans signed forward Brian Adams (1990) from Michigan and Greg Gross (1991) from Finland (born in Calgary) to improve their roster upfront. With the addition of these players the Americans have added some depth to this already competitive lineup. The players are expected to arrive Saturday and be in the lineup Sunda against Algoma for their first home game! Teen Ranch Sunday at 5:30pm! Look forward to seeing everyone there!
