(S6) - PT2 - New Teammates

[Bzerkap]

I guess the player I’m most excited about in our locker room is none other than Forfeit! (@KimJungBigDong) If you’ve followed the history of Yellowknife you know about their punting and kicking woes throughout the years.

We started in Season 1 with the original Booter, Archibald Booter. He was a good kicker for us, going on for 3 seasons and kicking his heart out. Well, it wasn’t really all roses for us and Booter. By season 3 he was missing extra points and actually cost us a few games because of it. I believe the disappointment must have gotten to him as he announced his retirement mid season.

Well, this sent the YKW GMs scrambling for a replacement and they made a trade with Liberty for Joseph Lombardi. Lombardi was very effective for us in seasons 4 & 5 but then left in the offseason for the newly moved New Orleans Second Line.

That brings us to season 6 and Forfeit. He was drafted by the Wraiths as their special teams ace of the future. Hoping to get a Turk Turkleton or Dean Jackson type player out of the pick, Sprike Crown has been quoted saying “We have all the faith in the world in Forfeit. We think he’s gonna be a great player for the Wraiths and hopefully a team mainstay for his entire career.”

I can only hope this is true.
