RENEGADES ROSTER TAKING SHAPE!!!!

My apologies for not updating this weekend, but there was an extreme demand for Laser Tag at the local family fun center and my abilities to explain "Keep two hands on the gun" were required.

Anyway, Bench Boss Peter Ambroziak has spent the off-season on the hunt for Grade "A" players to join his returning veteran core. 

As the stars align, The New Mexico Renegades are proud to announce their signings. Over the next two weeks, the blog will showcase each individual player as the Renegades unveil their roster in the days leading up to Main Camp. 

Our first signing is DJ Pyle.

Pyle (Midland, TX-New Mexico Renegades WSHL), a '90 birth-year, returns to the Renegades for his final season of junior hockey eligibility.  Last year, as a rookie, Pyle used his lethal shot to destroy goaltenders of all shapes and sizes, while also mildly concussing me as well.  He began his rookie season at 5'10" 210 lbs., but realized that he could use his physical prescence more effectively at a lower weight.

The day after the season ended, Pyle began the "Insanity" program and never looked back.  He dedicated himself to off-ice training and exercise, and at the July Camp it paid off.  He is now a slim 185 lbs. and stronger than ever. 

His "do what needs to be done" attitude will pay off this season as a veteran leader who plans to play college hockey.  Schools need to keep an eye on this player because he is bound for a breakout season.  His developing agility and pro-style shot will terrorize the WSHL, along with his massive hits and undefeated fight record (2 KOs in one season).  Expect some Gordie Howe Hat Tricks from this young man.

Mr. Pyle, the New Mexico Renegades are excited to have you back, and the blog looks forward to following your progress as you travel the path to college hockey.
