[ ON SALE: 2016 season ticket packages ]
We’re just over a month away from the opening kick of FC Buffalo’s 2016 National Premier Soccer League season, which means you need to know a bit more about your 2016 Wolves.
We’ve still got plenty of player commitments to announce in the coming days and weeks, but we’ve posed some question to our first batch of commits in order to get to know them a bit better.
In the first batch of recruits, we learned a bit about Bayley Winkel and Andres Vega, as well as Keith Traut and Ian McGrath. Then we met Kieran Toland and Andrew Crawford, Isaiah Barrett and Ross Suitor, and goalkeepers Nick Jeffs and Steve Casey. Grand Island residents Troy Brady and Frank Cotroneo then joined St. Lawrence man Austin Dilts and longtime Blitzers player Kendell McFayden in the bio pages.
