Q&A

What was the turning point for your league to make it to Playoffs this season?
The Tantrums played a very challenging season, including games against some very talented teams from across the country. We have been building upon every game we played all season to prepare for playoffs, and have learned valuable lessons from all of our opponents.

Has your league experienced any retirements, transfers or injuries in the past year that have made a substantial difference in your league’s play and performance?
Since last year's playoffs, the Tantrums have lost 7 chartered skaters due to retirement, injury and relocation. However, we have added 3 new skaters to the ranks that have had an impact already. Our coach and bench coach are also former skaters with the knowledge and team dedication necessary to lead a successful, nationally ranked team.

Do you have a mascot?
Frank the Flamingo is our league mascot and his inflatable likeness is often seen in the stands whenever we travel!!!
