Welcome
to the Siegeworks Lightning Hockey Home Page. The Lightning is
an amateur hockey team composed of intermediate to advanced level
players. At the end of our short 2002 summer session, there were
rumors among the team that some of our players were looking to
exercise the fact that they were "free agents", so they
would have better chances at reaching their quest for the cup.
Instead of risking the demise of the team, a plan was formulated
to aquire some new talent for the team. After extensive scouting
for players the new division D Lightning team was born. This team
was made up of a little less than half of the existing E team,
some of our top ranked alternates, friends from Eastridge, as
well as a few veterans that were picked up on waivers. The talent
of this new team was soon realized by the press and calls were
flooding the front office with offers of sponsorship. After intense
bidding from a number of top name organizations, SiegeWorks
purchased the Lightning for a measly 2 million dollars. SiegeWorks
Lightning has just begun their winter 2002/03 session. If your
up for some intense, bone crushing, in your face hockey, then
come to the Logitech
Ice Center in San Jose, California.
For
the first half of the season in the Division D, the Lightning
went undefeated with a record of 10-0-1. For this reason the team
was elevated to Division CC for the remainder of the session,
where they finished in 2nd.
Starting
in the summer session for 2003, we find ourselves bumped up yet
again to Division C. This time there were only minor alterations
to the roster, adding just 4 new players. Unfortunately the post
season came to an abrupt halt when we were ousted from the playoff
by the Black Mambas.
As
we are set to start the long 2003/2004 Winter session, we remain
in Division C. With the loss of some talented free agents, we
hit the streets looking for new blood aquiring two new players
and bringing up two from the minors. (Otherwise known as alternates).
