FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DECIDE TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE WE WISH YOU LUCK. FOR ANY NEW PLAYERS INTERESTED IN JOINING THE PANTHERS, WE ALSO WELCOME YOU TO TRYOUT FOR THE VENOM. YOU CAN GET MORE INFO FOR THE VENOM AT milwvenom.com. ANY OTHER TEAMS YOU CAN FIND INFO ON THEM AT IRONMANFOOTBALLEAGUE.COM.

WORD FROM THE OWNER

FIRST OFF I WOULD LIKE TO START OUT SAYING THAT I WISH WE COULD CAN CONTINUE AS A TEAM, BUT IT JUST GOT TO BE TO MUCH. I DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME TO BE AS ORGANIZED AS I WANTED AND I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS FAIR TO THE TEAM AND THE LEAGUE. I DO THANK EVERYBODY THAT STAYED UNTIL THE LAST GAME. I WILL REMEMBER THIS TEAM FOREVER. YOU ARE A GREAT BUNCH OF GUYS AND I HOPE TO CONTINUE TO PLAY WITH YOU ALL. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T COME WITH US TO THE VENOM, I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU. I WILL LET YOU GUYS KNOW OF ANY UPDATES. THANK YOU GUYS AGAIN.

YOUR BROTHER,

BZ RICE

WORK OUTS

WE ARE STILL HAVING CONDITIONING WORKOUTS EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 6:30 PM AT THE PETTIT ICE CENTER. IT IS LOCATED ON 84TH JUST SOUTH OF I-94. THE COST IS $3. I ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO COME TO GET IN SHAPE. TRYOUTS ARE COMING SOON AND I WOULD SUGGEST COMING IN READY TO GO.

INJURED PANTHERS UPDATE

MARK CHAMBERS HAS HAD HIS SURGERY AND IT WENT WELL. HE IS IN PAIN AND HE IS RECOVERING. WE WISH HIM AND HIS FAMILY THE BEST AND A SPEEDY RECOVERY FOR MARK. HOPEFULLY I WILL BE ABLE TO GET AN UPDATE ON AB SOON. PLEASE KEEP THESE PLAYERS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN YOUR PRAYERS.

SUNDAY GAME NIGHT

THE PANTHERS END THE SEASON ON A POSITIVE NOTE. THE PANTHERS DEFEAT THE SPRING CITY CYCLONES 8-7. IT ENDS THE PANTHERS LOSING STREAK. OWNER BZ RICE WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF THE PLAYERS WHO WERE THERE AND PLAYED THEIR HEARTS OUT. HE APPRECIATES EVERY PLAYER WHO STUCK IN THEIR AND FINISHED OUT THE SEASON.
RUNNING BACK MAKES TOP 5

ON THE IRONMAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE WEBSITE OUR VERY OWN REQUIZE RHODMAN WAS A TOP 5 RUNNING BACK CHOSEN BY RYAN CHUDADA. TO CHECK IT OUT GO TO IRONMANFOOTBALLLEAGUE.COM. REQUIZE DESERVES TO BE MENTIONED IN A CATAGORY LIKE THIS. I'M NOT POSITIVE, BUT I THINK REQUIZE STILL HOLDS THE RECORD FOR MOST RUSHING YARDS IN A SINGLE GAME.

NEW PRACTICE SCHEDULE
WE WILL BE PRACTICING WEDNESDAYS AT 6PM. ALSO WE WILL BE PRACTICING ON SUNDAYS AT 1PM. SAME LOCATION HALE HIGH SCHOOL. IF YOU ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO ATTEND PLEASE CONTACT BZ AT 414-430-0944.

PLAYER FEES

WE ARE NOW EXCEPTING PLAYER FEES JUST TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY THE WHOLE THING AT ONCE, WE WILL TAKE PAYMENTS. FOR NEW PLAYERS THE FEE IS $175. FOR VETERANS THE FEE IS $125. WE HAVE A NEW FEATURE THIS YEAR WHERE YOU CAN PAY YOUR PLAYER FEE ONLINE UNDER THE REGISRTATION TAB. WE NEED TO GET THIS MONEY IN SO WE CAN ORDER THE NEW GUYS THEIR JERSEYS. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE FELLAS, THIS IS YOUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR TEAM. THE QUICKER WE GET PLAYER FEES IN THE SMOOTHER THINGS WILL GET.

JERSEYS

We need to get the Jersey order in early April. So for the new guys it is important that you get your player fees in and paid. Also, veterans if your black jersey needs to be fixed make sure you get it to BZ and it will get fixed thanks to IDEAL LOGOS. We have 2 preseason games that is why we need to get the jerseys done quicker. For new players veterans get to keep their own number, but if a number is available it goes to the first person who pays. For the new players make sure you get your jersey size and pant size to BZ asap. You can give it to me before or after practice or call me at 414-430-0944. If I don't answer leave a message and let me know your name, sizes, and call back number.APRIL 10TH IS THE DEADLINE. If you don't have an order in then there will be no jersey for you to play with this year and you will have to wait until next year.
