My son received a contract to play in NCL this summer. Any info about the Brainerd area, team or venue? He's excited about the opportunity.
I know it seems a long time away but I know it will be here before I'm ready! thanks

Try NWL (vs NCL)

Maybe play for Madison?

I always enjoyed the (car and plane) trips between Madison WI and Minneapolis (and surrounding NWL summer teams, Brainerd, Eu Claire, St Cloud, La Crosse, Mankato, others)

Yes, it's a tad early. Yet Host families are typically located by Blue Thunder thru spring '08!

Son played for Mankato 2 years ago and loved it. I believe the Brainerd team was going through some ownwership changes and financial problems at that time.
