Season 2

The Silver & Black are gearing up for a great 2009 campaign. With the addition of a many talented rookies and the return of the veterans, the Raiders are looking to produce a very competitive team. With the teams in the EFL bringing in new talent and with many veterans retiring the league will be wide open for a new champion.

Head Coach Jim Compeau is very optimistic about this years team. He has said with the addition of a bunch of former St. Lawrence Vally Trailblazers, who have taken a leave of absence from the NFA, and a possibility of players coming down from the Ottawa area, Massena should be one of or not the hottest team in the league in 2009.

The 2009 season looks really exciting for the Silver & Black. With many S&B Raiders returning for the 2009 season and with the off season recruitment in full strength the Raiders look to be a true sleeper in the EFL. Some notable returners like Rob Sunday, Buddy Compeau, Johnathan Hirschey, Joe Hutchison, Rob James and our Qb from the last game Ryan Mason. Our o-line has the chop twins returning Lyle Compo and Richard Barlow.
