Speaking about the new roster, Dave Scotford, Team Norse Thunder's owner said: "We're really excited about the roster that coach has put together. I think we have a really good group of players who have a massive amount of potential.
"They've got a few practice sessions under their belt already and the baptism of fire in the Powered by Dai tournament this weekend will be a great way to really see where we're at as a starting point.
"They're a really good bunch of people too - I was a part of the orientation session that coach ran earlier this week and it's good to see there's a bond forming there already. I really think we're onto something good all round!"
