Today was the first day of the Carlstad Crusaders official preparation for 2011. The anticipated season premier in north Germany is just under 5 weeks away. Players and coaches joined together for an opportunity to dust off the pads and get crunching again just 5 days before QB Eli Cranor joins the group. An exhibition game is scheduled against Norway's Oslo Vikings in 3 weeks which will be a great chance to test the system before heading to Kiel on April 23rd.
