Mahoning Valley Thunder News Release
BOARDMAN, Ohio- The Mahoning Valley Thunder is pleased to announce that the arenafootball2 League Office has assigned Defensive Lineman Eddie Robinson to the team for the 2008 season. Robinson enters his second season with the Thunder.

Be a part of all the action in 2008 as the Thunder continues their climb towards the ArenaCup9 Championship. Season ticket prices start as low as $96 and are on sale now.
