Ultiworld Previews
Open; http://ultiworld.com/2013/08/29/pro-fli ... s-preview/
"Perhaps most impressive about their, (GOAT), performance was that they were missing some of their best veteran talent: Anatoly Vasilyev was out, as was Cam Harris, Adrian Yearwood, and Isaiah Masek-Kelly."
Women's; http://ultiworld.com/2013/08/29/pro-fli ... s-preview/
"Two of the season’s biggest player acquisitions have come midseason: Scandal adds Anne Mercier and Nemesis is joined by Lindsey Hack." Mercier was a captain on Team Canada World Games and had been a major star and key handler for Capitals until taking this opportunity to play for top coach Alex Ghesquiere.
