Joe Brainerd returns to the KWL to help the Fightin' Roo's.

One of the newest teams to the league, the Fightin' Roo's, were hanging by a thread with just enough players a week before the start of the regular season. Team captain, Kevin Marszelek ask if I knew of anyone that might want to jump in and help fill up their roster. The next day, I started to thumb through my contacts and making calls to see if I could help out. I contacted a handful of people before finally making the call to recently retired Joe Brainerd. To my surprise, Joe was interested and indeed has decided to continue his KWL career.

After verifying that Joe was under no contact obligations with the Flyin' Wildebeest, he officially joined the new KWL team. After hearing about the return of Joe Brainerd, ex-teammate Matt Kirsch said "I am throwing for his head!" in a joking manor and continued to say "I'm glad Joey is returning, he is great for the league."

An all Rookie squad will be greatly helped by this 3 season veteran and 2-time funstar.

Welcome back Joe! We're glad to have you!
