Crosby's Announce Roy McDonald as Franchise Pick
The October 25th deadline is just days away, where all of the FHL's Franchise Players must be announced. The first of six comes from the Crosby's General Manager John George. Out of all of the players on the Crosby's last year, including Matt Wierchowski, Buddy Doyle, Roy McDonald, Dan Drane, and more, George narrowed it down to one - Roy McDonald
"He's more than just a great slapshot," said George. "He knows a lot about the game and is a great team guy." This seemed like a great option for the Crosby's, who finished the season 9-8 last year.
McDonald was the league leader in goals, with 36. He scored 51 points, which was third best, behind the likes of Brian Barca and Chad Kanz. He will be entering his third season (second full season) in the FHL, where he totals 50 goals and 25 assists.
McDonald has only played for one team in his entire FHL Career, and it continues to stay that way. When asked for a quote concerning his official franchising, Roy replied, "I wouldn't want to wear any other color but white. Simple as that." He later added, "I'm glad to be the franchise player of the Crosby's and am looking forward to the draft and finding out who my teammates are this year so we can improve on our disappointing performance in last years playoffs vs. The Pirates."
The FHL Season is just around the corner. The draft will be held November 1st. The season starts on December 19th. Stay tuned for the Pirates franchise selection tomorrow. Will it be Tony Bonacorso, or will GM Andrew McDonald decide elsewhere for the upcoming season?
