To kick things off, there's several new teams this year, and (much to my delight) the madlads over in Spokane Washington have organized a team again! Of all the games I've ever watched, the games with the now-defunct Spokane Empire team were always the absolute wildest- with the most violent hits, absurd plays, and utterly one-sided games. They weren't terribly good as I recall, but my goodness they were entertaining to watch. Now, the Empire is back, re-branded as the Shock (which was their original branding before they were the Empire) so hopefully much of their original talent will be back to put on a good show this season.
