Well would you look at that! For once, the Americans actually won some games and made the playoffs! After some disappointing seasons (some would blame the playoff structure for this, but I digress) New York’s finest are finally in the big dance! (Just looked it up and the drought wasn’t that long, but I’m already committed  to the article).

 

Things didn’t look so hot for NYA at the beginning of the season. Despite having some solid talent, it looked like Simon T would claim another victim, and banish them to non playoff team purgatory. But then, just before the half way point of the year, a trade was made that changed the tide of the season for the Americans. Sending out Fredrik Elmebeck and some draft picks in a three way trade, the team acquired veteran Julius Freeman. Freeman proved to be just the weapon that New York needed, scoring many goals and winning the scoring title! The team would go on to win nearly 60% of their remaining games, leap-frogging them past Vancouver and allowing them to overtake the Toronto Legion for the 3rd seed in the North American division. Drawing Seattle in the first round will be no easy task, the Bears have been a top team for 5-6 seasons now and have their eyes on the prize.
