One Last Run

[JeffD 648]

The Chicago Phoenix have had pretty much the same core for the past few seasons with some parts coming in and out whether it was through trade, retirement, or free agency. Long time Phoenix players like goaltender JP Camus, defenseman Matty Socks, winger Lee Xin and center Christian Mingle are all in the twilight years of their career and are looking to make a run for a cup which has eluded the squad since their championship winning season 76.

 

While often times older players end up fading out or joining another team in the later years of their career the management of the Chicago Phoenix has made it very clear that they wanted to give these long time Phoenix players one last shot at the cup. With the additions of defenseman Kasper Kankkunen and forward John LeClair II this past offseason, both of whom are also retiring, they have one of the strongest yet oldest rosters in the league. So far this season it has them fourth in the North American conference which can largely be attributed to a slow start. As of late they have been very hot and surging towards the front of the pack.

 

Look for this squad of old timers to continue to improve as the season goes on and maybe, just maybe, they can have another Cinderella run.
