Contact FireAnts
Last season: 1st/4
Presumably, the team with a great mind behind the sticks.
They are back again this year with the intention to defend the title. Consisting a good mix of youths and oldies, most of them are all quite seasoned and decent players who have played in last year's league as well. Trained and coached under “The One”, this is the team to watch for its movement and plays.
Contact, as everyone would know by now, possess one thing that almost every other team lacks - team work and good team play. Their strength is how they move as a unit and how they stick as a unit to whatever plan the coach has laid out for them. Speaking of coach, that's their other strength. They have a coach with the knack of using whatever he has in his team and push it to its full potential on court, be it a new team or not. Strategically speaking, Contact FireAnts is probably the only team who can come up with a solid plan.
However, the downside to this team is probably their lack of speed. The need for speed in floorball is as essential as getting your technique right. With the likes of younger and faster team in the league this year, it will definitely be a tough competition for the reigning champs to fight for their spot again. To add a little salt, this year every game will be played at Balik Pulau indoor stadium, at least twice the size of last year's venue. In order for Contact to go far, they have to play their cards right.
The big question everyone is asking by now is, "Can team Contact do it again this year?". Can they win it the second time round?
With the likes of Ztec and other teams rising up, it will be hard for Contact to keep their winning streak. However, BBF wouldn't rub them off as title contenders. With the FireAnts, you better keep an eye out of them.
If not, they'll be stinging you just when you're not looking.
Key player:
The wits and grits of FireAnts - None other than Edward Lim, the man himself.
The player/coach of the team, although lack the pace and fitness he once had, certainly make up with his cheekiness up front and from the sidelines.
The boss surely knows majority if not all of the players in PFL, strengths and weaknesses, and definitely showing no mercy against his disciples in using what he knows for a victory for his team.
Will the Master triumph over his Disciples effortlessly and flawlessly?
Or will the Disciples over power the Master in rebellious fashion?
PFL has never been so entertaining.
How dull it would be without his mind games!
Rising Rookie:
Joerel Marcus.
Never heard of him?
You will soon enough.
The FireAnts import from Sabah, has been training secretly with the boss, and is now ready to be unleashed upon in PFL.
Rather pacey and adequate in skills, the boy will provide an extra man for the thin line up of the FireAnts. Maybe some beginner's jitters in the games, but the boy certainly has what it takes to survive at the (current) highest level.
Prediction:
Bendy:
Last season, they were the most entertaining FLOORBALLING team, deserving the crown.
This season? Tough! Especially with Innebandy around, ready for vengeance. Ztec too, having an eye on the crown themselves, not to mention coming in strong with a solid squad.
With their current weakened squad, defending the title seems hard, but not impossible. This is still a team with a handful of state/ national players and coach by the national coach. They are still one of the most experience team in the league.
All points considered, 2nd looks promising.
They might disagree though.
Especially last year's point leader, Nick Jr. who flew back from Aus just to bagi the goalies in Penang.
You guys better watch out!

Spritzer:
Personally, I still think Contact FireAnts is the team to lookout in this competition. Sure we have other faster and more tenacious looking teams, but somehow my gut feeling is telling me Contact will be pulling another stunt this year.
A team with probably an engine that runs like a team and not out of impulsion. Having said that, it will be really hard for them to defend their title this year.
My bet is for them to finish first or second though.

Jose:
One of the more tactical teams around Penang, which has the best chance of upseting the odds by beat Ztec 8cers. However, their squad depth is not as good as compared to Ztec 8cers, which will surely prove to be the difference when both these teams meet in the opening fixture.Unless they break the minds of the Ztec players, there is little chance for them to retain their Division 1 title this time round. However, they should finished 2nd above Innebandy!Co and beat the rest of the teams in Division 1 without much effort.
