Season 22 finished in disappointing fashion for Yellowknife. The regular season champions and many people’s favourites to finally win the Ultimus, but we fell at the first hurdle. This year we will right that wrong and push on to win it all. The team has been in an excellent window recently with a stacked offence and defence.
The defence is full of strong veterans teaching some up and coming stars the ropes. Nero Alexander has been a colossus at DE since he joined the team, and the team really wants to get him a ring before regression sets in too hard. While the loss of all-time great Safety Danny Grithead is a tough loss, Magnus Valdyr will step into his shoes aptly and is my personal pick for Defensive Rookie of the year. Yellowknife nearly swept the awards last season so it’s hard to go up from there but Valdyr should be in with a good chance. On the other side of the ball, we added star WR Action Jackson to an already great receiving corp. While Nate Swift and Cooter Bigsby both are starting to show their age, a win would cap incredible careers for both.
That means there’s only 1 goal for us this season, winning. While that seems obvious, the experienced talent on the team all deserve to finish with a victory to show for all of the nearly moments in the past few seasons. While the upcoming talent will continue to shine for years to come, playoff success is a must to ensure the veterans get the respect they deserve.
