"We know it's no breaking news but the process of getting contracts negotiated and signed was quite some work. We are thankful for the efforts Lincoln put into this team and wish him nothing but the best for his future.



Needless to say, we are more than happy to welcome such a talented player to our roster. Felps played a great season in 2016 and we are excited for the tournaments ahead."
