Round 1 of the tryout is done
Wednesday, 14th November 2007, by Wisso
Round one of the tryout is done with a lot of prospects. This year we have decided to purchase a franchise in the new Rookie Xball league..the RXL. This done, we have around 15 spots available for this team only not even counting the numerous spots open for our MXL and CXBL teams.
On November 11 we were hosting our 1st round of the tryouts and a lot of new faces from all corners, ans background showed some interest in our organization witch is great. That shows that our hard work, amazing training program and friendly atmosphere does have a positive influence on the Quebec paintball community.
With that said, we only have a limited amount of spots available and unfortunately those who did not make the first cut will be contacted this week. That doesn't mean you cannot train harder and ask any skorpion when you see them to teach you some techniques.

Richmond Cup review
Thursday, 11th October 2007, by Wisso
I know it took time for me to comment on it, especially after our 2 heartbreaking defeatS (9-7 and 6-5) against our long time rivals Mirabel Impact, but im finally gonna do it..so here it is
Looking back on the season we can clearly come to a conclusion that both teams played amazing all year long, dominating without any doubts the eastern division. Us having only 1 loss and them going undefeated.
Now lets go back to the subject... Richmond Cup started when
we first got into the plane, making fun of JP in his sleep and talking about cases and who s better at who (pure Laval style) ... When we arrived at Edmonton we went directly to PAG wich is the field of Becky (our western pickup) and home field of Canadian Champs, Edmonton Impact. After about 2 hours of driving trying to find the field (Shawn Monk and his driving is something we all have to experience one time) We decided to call someone from the field to come pick us up from a gas station. Even tho some ppl would love to forget that part of the trip..i gotta say we had alot of fun making fun of Shawn Monk with his so called "GPS". Now when we arrived at the field...about 3 hours later ( im exagerating but it almost felt like it), we decided to reschedule the practice the next day.I have to say the field is amazing. Real Xball dimensions with an indoor NPPL field. The people there were extremely kind to welcome us a and i gotta personally thank them for that.
On the Friday, we woke up early and went to the West Edmonton Mall. Now this place is HUUGGEEE.. Water park Amusement park submarine whales (hahah) everything you want is there. We spent half our day...humm more like 3/4 of our day at the amusement park riding in roller coasters and playing arcades and looking for new cases and the other 1/4 visiting the mall. When the time came we headed up to the field and had a long practice. The boys were ready everything was in place for a good show the next day
The next day was the BIG day. The 2 teams were ready and it was to be a good show. Who ever was gonna win will not win it easy. After a very tight game of back to back scoring, we lost 9-7. The worst was that we lost a 5 vs 1 when the score was 8-6 after a little controversial call when a ref supposedly called the last player of mirabel out and an other called him clear...our players didn't know he was still alive, they thought he was heading out to his pit. What can you do...it happens...
The second game was even more intense..we started strong..scoring 4 fast points back to back leading the way 4-0. Unfortunately penalties started to rain on us and got 4 straight penalties in a row. Some were questionable some were not but matters was that we lost the momentum at that moment and Mirabel took advantage of that. After 2 half the score was 5-5 and we were going into overtime (exciting for spectator, a pain in the ass for players). Unfortunately for us, Mr luck and the paintball gods were not in our favor that day and lost the game after a long battle of 4 minuts.
Disappointing indeed, but what can you do except look back at the season and say "We were one of 6 teams in Canada to make it that far, and alot of ppl in canada would have given everything to be in our shoes...so why be disappointed?". We are a very young team that keeps on getting better and stronger year after year, hopefully were can learn from our mistakes and keep on innovating and progressing in the years to come. Whats more important is that our friendship and desire to win has grown even more...They have just woke up a Monster.. L-A-V-A-L
