Rosters Shuffled For Altador Cup V (26 May 2010)
It turns out that the members of Moltara's Yooyuball team aren't the only new faces at this year's tournament. In an effort to regain their competitive edge, the winners of the first Altador Cup have parted ways with defenseman Autrey Fulse (the lone team member not on that championship team) and signed relentless pursuer "Brains" Mortigan.
There are also a couple of familiar faces in new places this year. In a trade that broke up Tyrannia's vaunted Forsaken Five, the club dealt Evren Guilako to Terror Mountain for Elbin Kroe. Additionally, Brightvale has decided to give goalie Orie Dinelle another shot in front of the net.
Perhaps the most surprising roster move is the one that, in the end, didn't happen. After last year's championship victory, Krawk Island's Dasher Soley decided to hang up his Yooyuball sling. However a last-minute injury to his rookie replacement, Feldon "Dinksy" Collibridge, left the club with no time to find a replacement who knew all the team's plays. And so, Ol' Dash agreed to come back for one last tournament.
How will this offseason's changes impact the way that the tournament plays out? We'll just have to wait and see....
