What This Means

Playoff experience in Year One? That’s huge. We showed we can compete with the best, even if we fell just short of the conference finals. This is no fluke—it’s a foundation.

Looking Ahead

This offseason is about building. We’re focusing on:

• Retaining top talent (like Teubner, Miles, Violette)

• Strengthening our roster for deeper playoff runs

• Boosting community outreach, merch, and fan engagement

• Planning a stronger, smarter campaign for 2026
