New York Knights![]() |
The New York Knights have set
the bar high for other
teams to measure up to as they come bearing the first triple GM roster
in league history. Boasting 2007 US Champion GM Alex Shabalov, 2005 USCL MVP GM Pascal Charbonneau and legendary
New York GM John Fedorowicz, the
Knights hope to give their arch rivals, the Boston
Blitz, a difficult time in 2008. The Knights slayed the Blitz in
the 2006 SemiFinal but the Blitz got their revenge by eliminating the
Knights in 2007. It should be exciting to see how this rivalry develops
in 2008. The middle of their roster also serves to provide strong support with the always solid IM Irina Krush, the returning 2005 All Star SM Gregory Braylovsky, and 2007 All Star IM Jay Bonin. With this strong cast along with the underrated NM Matt Herman and 2007 All Star WFM Iryna Zenyuk to hold down fourth board, this could well be the year where the always playoff bound Knights overcome their post-season demons to capture their first USCL Championship. |
