Boston (AP) - The World Cup organization committee are very busy these days sifting through applications for the 8 teams who will grace the 3 week long tournament that will get underway during the FNHL's offseason.
"I would have to say that I am surprised of the amount of applications as compared to the initial interest put forward after the World Cup was announced. I only have 6 maybe 7 teams filled to date. Thankfully everyone who has applied so far chose a team that was open so basically as of right now every GM who has applied should get their first choice. I am hoping over the next couple of days we will get a couple more applications and have all the teams with general managers." said organizer Jeff Nagle.
Roster lists are also shaping up. With team Canada leading the way with 80+ eligible players, the organizing committee will be narrowing it down to about 50 before the lists go out to the GMs.
"We will be looking to release those lists to the GMs sometime later next week. The GMs will then have the balance of the regular season to make their final team selections." added Mr Nagle.
We also caught word that the FNHL World Cup website should be up and ready to go next week. Supposedly it is already created and populated but they are awaiting the GM selection before officially launching it. All World Cup related news, stats and roster selections will be available on that website.
"We found it would be imperative that we have a website dedicated to the World Cup. It is a league in it's own right. Once we have it launched we will ask the FNHL officials to put an official link on the FNHL website to bring users to the World Cup website. That will drive alot of traffic to the website and give fans a chance to keep up with the progress of the tournament." added Mr Nagle.
