ROB LAURIE NIGHT
DECEMBER 10TH
END TO FRUSTRATING SEASON...
Irvine, CA
The Anaheim Bullfrogs finished the 2011 - 2012 season without making it to the post season. The team which was overshadowed by talent, didn't have the neccesary commitment to make it when it counted and sadly, missed the playoffs and the opportunity to compete for the $10,000 MLRH championship prize.
"Brutal", Brian Steiner, captain had to say.
"We had a good team on paper but some of these guys think they are above the game. I know next year we build with people who recognize their commitments to our team"
Bright spots were Charlie Middleton, who led the team in scoring and did a great job all season. Brandon Taylor came into his own toward the end.
"The goal is to rebuild for the 2012 - 2013 season and find the right players who have what it takes but are also commited", Steiner added.
Steiner, whose mother was diagnosed with leukemia in November, has had a tough time with his commitment, but it was well justifed.
"Playing with my mom's illness made it that much more difficult for me to focus on the team, but I can assure you, next year will be different. I want to thank MLRH for giving us this chance, bringing back the Bullfrog name and for retiring two players I looked up to Joe Cook and Rob Laurie. " , Steiner finished.
Commissioner Doug Jones added these final sentiments. " I admire Steins for how he handled himself during a very difficult time personally and mentally. He was a leader on and off the rink and the glue that kept the team together, when it became too much with his mother's illness, it was a shame to see that some of the others who were his teammates, neither picked up the slack or met their commitment. Another life lesson on who you can trust and call your teammate", Jones finished.
As for 2012 - 2013, the team will be back and the Bullfrogs look to make this all a memory....
