Bonny River, NB - Puck drop is weeks away and the Bonny River Ratz have been aggressive in the off season in hopes of bringing a championship to the community. Last December, the mini-metro area suffered a devastating flood and it was at that time team captain Joe Stevens said he was determined to turn things around.
Stevens said, "I looked around when me and my friends were performing miracles and said how can I really give back? Grabbing the Fish Bowl might just do the trick. We tried last season but were unsuccessful again. I met with my advisers and developed a plan to turn things around. We have brought in local boys Jason Frost and Gregg Buchanan to give us some toughness. Then when we were in Maine this summer, Matt Dewar was on a line with ex NHL-er Gary McAdam and the legendary Mark Taylor and performed beyond our expectations, so we're giving him a shot as well. It's unfortunate, but we're also announcing the release of Andrew Moffitt. He is a businessman, so he should understand that this is solely a business decision."
