Zeddy Ball-Game will be chasing an NLL Championship with the Colorado Mammoth so he’ll be missing from training camp and in his place the Whipsnakes have added Attackman Sean Goldsmith.
Thoughts, Facts, Camp Position Battles (CPB)
Two Sean's, Two Matt's, plus Mike and Michael
The two-time PLL champs will be without some key pieces to start training camp, standout FO man Joe Nardella is out injured on the PUP list, Zed Williams is chasing down an NLL championship with the Colorado Mammoth, Duke rookie Garrett Leadmon is playing in the NCAA Championship game after scoring the game winning goal against Penn State, and attackman Jay Carlson retired in May. They won't get Carlson back, and the timetable for Nardella to return is unknown, Zed will at least miss the first three days of camp and maybe the first game of the season if the Mammoth vs. Bandits series goes to a third game. The Whips did draft Joe Nardella lite in Petey Lasalla from UVA and added Will Manny in free agency from the Archers.
2022 was the first year the Whipsnakes did not make the PLL championship game, it will be interesting to see how they respond.
CPB- Who will play as the third SSDM for the Whips? Ty Warner and captain Jake Bernhardt are likely locked. Does second year player Roman Puglise who played in the Championship Sixes series, but not in the regular season due to injury get the third spot or will it be Garrett Leadmon who has more two-way capability, maybe even undrafted rookie Grayson Sallade.
CPB- Kyle Bernlohr is firmly in the driver's seat for the starting goalie spot, but does veteran Brian Phipps hold his backup spot or will Brendan Kribbs fill the role.
The ultra-athletic LSM Elijah Gash, son a former NFL player Sam Gash, will get a chance to learn from arguably the best defense in the PLL with players like Mike Ehrhardt and Matt Dunn. Look for the former UAlbany Great Dane to make a splash at training camp on the same campus he left a few weeks earlier.
