Dammmmmnnnn, that was a long winter. I mean, what was it - all of three or four months? I've almost forgotten what things like 'no break' and 'my bad' mean.

You may have heard the rumours. And while most of them are true, not every single player on Stella last year is actually pregnant. No, not even close. (Do we really have that few babies nowadays, that two or three or four suddenly seem like an epidemic?)

Nah, Stella lives on for 2006. Somehow she always does.

The news this year has been slow in coming, but it is coming. We've got two new captains and one returning. Danielle Fortin and Rachel Robichaud will be teaming up with 'ol hat Elliot to round out the leadership this year.

Details like summer schedules to come.

If you're looking for tryout dates, we do have those:
