"This season is going to be challenging with the addition of teams like San Diego and Canton. I fee that we have the talent to build on our playoff berth season last year and am happy to see that we have an abundance of experience players that will make the difference. Players like Aaron King and Roby Monroe will be welcome additions and will fit in well with our style of play and philosophy. As I look down the line, I see both new and seasoned players that will contribute to what will hopefully be a championship season for the Dynamite," Technical Director, Chuck Estrada.
Also agreeing to terms for the upcoming season are midfielder Justin Stones and goalkeeper Brett O'Connor. Stoner has played the past two seasons with the Golden Strikers (PASL-Premier), while O'Connor spent time with the Denver Dragons (PASL-Premier) and the Colorado Springs Blizzard (USL-PDL).
