Rob's strengths lie in his defensive game, he plays hard and is one of the most hated players to play against in the League.
Woody will piss you off and take a penalty if he needs to do it, in '98 and '00 Woody was the most penalized player in his respective League.

Al Lagassé - #1 – A seasoned goaltender, Al is an original members of the Venom/Soar organization and has decided to rejoin his team after a two year hiatus. Al began his career playing for CJS and earning a spot as the first team all-star goaltender before moving on to the WTHL. After two years with Soar, Al left the Spectrum System to try his luck with ‘A’ league champions Spartak. After a dismal and confidence shattering season with Spartak, Al was welcomed back by the ever-loving father figure “The Kauf” and preceded to have a good season playing for a depleted Spectrum team (even though we only won three games we only got blown out once). Al has decided to try his hand at ‘B’ league one more time and he hopes to help Venom become one of the dominating teams in the WTHL. Al brings the experience of having played three years with the Manitoba Junior Men’s Provincial team and hopes to crack the roster of the Senior Men’s team within the next couple of years.
Chris "Smurf" Greenhalgh #8 plays left wing and played his first game with Spectrum Jan. 10, 2004. Chris is 17 years old and has been playing Handball for 6 years, already. He started handball in grade 6 with Monique Ditter as his coach. Chris is still in high school and plays for CJS of The W.H.S.T.H.L. where he has been playing since grade 9 with "The Kauf" as his coach. He has represented CJSat the Highschool All-star game in his past two seasons and if all goes well Chris hopes to go again at the end of this season.
Last year Chris played for the Juvenile provincial team and went to nationals in Edmonton, where Chris Helped his Manitoba team win a Bronze medal. Chris has played 2 years of senior mens handball; 1 year with Soar and 1 with Venom/Spectrum.
Chris has a natureal flare for the game of handball with the wits to match. What he lacks in size (5'6) he more than makes up in desire and intensity and has the potential to follow in the footsteps of the "Little game breakers" that have gone beore him in the likes of Riel and Loyd Rana.
Chris hopes to put on some weight and build some more muscle so he can "improve his skills in the big boys League, and attract all the Handball groupies like David Bordeaux & The Gauth's sisters!"

Gjamma "Jamma" Gullet-#9-Centre Back. Jamma has played Handball in Somolia for 11 years, with 3rd to 1st division teams, and coached girls 2nd Div. Teams. Jamma moved here last year but didn’t realize that there was a League here in Winnipeg. Jamma moves the ball quite well, but a year of rust and the fact that he still needs to adjust to the Canadian game, will be the biggest challenge for him. But the fact that Ben Moore and Norm Taylor are going to be around for the first few weeks, will allow Jamma time to get acclimatized to the game at a comfortable pace, instead of being thrown into the fire.
