Finally we've reached the last part of our roster announcement; our brand-new Coal Miners. While recruiting players to your team, the importance of aquiring players that are a "good fit" for the teams style of play cannot be overstated. Unfortunately for the Coal Miners, we haven't quite figured out what our style of play is yet... so when recruiting players we had to do it the old-fashioned way: with the false promise of a lofty salary further down the line Here are the two insanely talented players we managed to lure to our squad using this devious tactic: Free Agency Signings @pentsaa (Player profile) Jersey #: 58 ECL season, FCM: 1st Career stats, ECL: 19 GP, 8 G, 20 A, 28 P, +31 Player type: Two-way defender/forward Information: Fresh off an eye-opening performance in the Summer Cup for eventual finalist 50 Shades of Blades, this young Finn probably had plenty of offers to choose from ahead of ECL 5. His soft hands on the ice and great mind for the game isn't even the greatest thing about this this defender/forward hybrid, its that he can curse at the rest of the team both in his native Finnish and Swedish! All kidding aside, pentsaa is poised for a breakout season and if his history with the Finnish Roosters and performance in the Summer Cup is any indication, he will make for an explosive addition to The Mine. Just, you know, hopefully not too explosive. Mines collapse. @minokin (Player profile) Jersey #: 15 ECL season, FCM: 1st Career stats, ECL: 58 GP, 12 G, 44 A, 56 P, -83 Player type: Two-way defender/forward, Butterfly goaltender Information: This veteran ECL:er brings a wealth of experience, poise and calm to a roster that seems better prepared than it ever has been for ECL competition. A match made in heaven it would seem and sometimes, things are just that - exactly what they seem. Outside of dazzling plays on the ice and solid defending, "mino" has the mind and voice of a storyteller. What might begin as a harmless story in a PSN party will easily transition into a riveting drama where axe-murdering women and car racing hockey players are front and center. Welcome to the Falun Coal Miners guys We hope you won't be running for the exists in a state of absolute panic until at least half the season is over! NEXT UP, Links to FCM social media!

Updated our team post.

3 forwards up for grabs Phillelindberg Panserhagen12 Zidso All righties, much skill, great teammates. Grab em!

Hi, I'm looking for a club that needs backup players for position like RD & C. I'm GM for Nordic Nosebleed and have participated in this tournament several times. But this time we don't have enough active players. kind regards/ Mikael Wennerstrand PSN: Cherrykicks

Hello skaters, I want to know is there any interest in 6vs6 LAN/LIVE/OFFLINE tournament? 1vs1 tournaments are nice, but I think 6vs6 tournaments would be AWESOME! Poikani puolesta kyselen. Later skaters.

64-3 Yes

It's called skill hockey. We fourthliners are not supposed to understand that kind of danglez & snipazz

Still looking

Next up are The Prospects. While "prospects" is generally used as a term for young, up-and-coming players in real life hockey, the Falun Coal Miners version of virtual hockey "prospects" combines the traditional hockey concept with that of outlaw motorcycle gangs. Strange you say? Not so! Wikipedia has the following to say on prospects: "Some "biker" clubs employ a process whereby members must pass several stages such as "friend of the club", "hang-around", and "prospect", on their way to becoming full-patch members. In these clubs, some amount of hazing may occur during the early stages ranging from the mandatory performance of menial labor tasks for full patch members to sophomoric pranks, and, in rare cases with some outlaw motorcycle clubs, acts of violence" While we do not plan on forcing our dear prospects into performing any acts of violence, they might have to clean the locker room bathrooms and collect all the pucks after practice from time to time. Without further ado, here they are: Prospects @Sawardo (No player profile) Jersey #: 7 ECL season, FCM: 1st Career stats, FCM: N/A Player type: Two-way defender/forward Information: Imported from the TPS regions of Åbo, Finland, the skill of this 25-year old Finn was first discovered by Head Scout @LastMandalorian through the very inofficial VOCL (Viaplay Office Couch League). With a booming slapshot as his main weapon, this natural defenseman has signed a PTO (professional tryout contract) with FCM to "watch and learn" during his first ECL season. Has significant EASHL experience stretching back to 2010, but is completely untested in 6v6 tournament play. Counts Henrik Tallinder as his favorite player due to his dominating run as an assistant captain for TPS. @R00tster89 (Player profile) Jersey #: 89 (previously wore 15 but with a new Free Agency signing coming in, gracefully relinquished the number) ECL season, FCM: 3rd Career stats, FCM: 16 GP, 11 G, 12 A, 23 P, +4 Player type: Sniper Information: Arguably the most natural virtual hockey sniper in the entire Södertälje area, R00tster joins the Coal Miners for his third season as a prospect. Mainly known amongst his teammates for two things: playing with a left-handed stick on the left wing and being one of the only ECL players ever to use the "Sniper" player type (the small one). While still counted as a prospect, R00tster is not without experience as he has been playing EASHL with the FCM captaincy brothers since NHL 2012. Will probably not get alot of ice time in ECL due to more important obligations in life BUT will shoot the puck when you least expect it. NEXT UP, The Free Agency Signings

LW/RW/LD/RD and in tight spot C Looking for ecl team, last season with Huppati HC. NHL since 09 over 30years old and still going. Reliability and looking team hopefully longer term. PM here or PSN: RuttuBerse

WE are looking for eLITE players for ECL 5. About us: We are an active Finnish based team who likes to play a lot, also on the weekends. ECL4 was the first time we participated in ECL and not that many of our players had much experience from 6v6. Despite the lack of experience we were only two wins away from claiming a spot in ECL Pro. For the next season we are looking for a couple of new players to help us take the next step. Our goal next season is to reach at least the semifinals and gain a promotion to ECL Pro. What we are looking for is: - Active and versatile team players, big plus if you can play more than one position - Some game sense, not saying that we have it but it helps if at least someone has - Last season our youngest player was 15 and oldest 27 so it's a big plus too if you fit into that age category - You need to be able to communicate in finnish, english or på svenska. ANY POS IF YOU ARE eLITE And finally, last but not least, at least some Sense of Banter IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ARE INTERESTED DON'T HESTITATE TO CONTACT @Heero, IN CASE YOU SPEAK THE BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE OF KALAKUKKO PLEASE CONTACT @Stu
