Ztec 8cers(Ztec 8cers Floorball Club)
Last season: 2nd/4 (Div 2)
The D2 runner-ups were in a class of their own, dominating the league with outrageous score lines.
This season, it was a relief for the D2 teams seeing them promoted, leaving the D1 teams sweating and fearing the worst.
Indeed they should.
The D1 team shows no signs of being weakened despite the fact that some of the original team members were included in the new D2 teams, as they were replaced by some “big name” recruits.
Defence has been severely boosted with the likes of Sjaiful, Hadfiz and Jun Wooi (Dalat Eagles), all national defenders; add on a familiar name who is back for holidays, Jeremy Yeap and sharp shooter Danial Cheah (Innebandy), the mere sight of their names on the match record would send shivers down the spine of their opponents.
The only area that pale in comparison, is the goalkeeper. The GK, Choon Hun will mark his debut on the opening match of PFL, but the sheer fact that the newbie shook of challenges from 2 other more experience team mates surely indicates how highly the coach view him. The “new” tag is mere cover up folks.
Ztec is new to D1 but not new to floorball. Fact.
Ztec was strong, now stronger. Fact.
Their emergence has disrupted the title challenge. Fact.
Their existence has force teams to reshuffle objectives and aims for the league. Fact.
Facts. All is just plain talk for now. The big question is: Can they live up to their billing?
Opponents surely hope not.
But for neutrals, nothing beats a game of entertaining Floorball.
This years’ PFL is surely worth looking forward too!!
Star Player:
Picking a star player has never been such a dreadful task.
The team is just full of stars all over!
Die die pick one? BBF will have to go for Ter Min.
Used to be known for his powerful drag shots, the boy has grown and evolved in many ways, and has to a certain extent, progressed to be a more complete player. Already technically superior than most, now seasoned with experience, topping up with improved vision plus the support of capable team mates, makes him deadlier than ever.
Being Team Malaysia’s point leader from the recent APAC campaign, Ter Min would be hoping his sizzling form will continue in PFL. Penang, expect the worst, this boy would be hard to contained even on a bad day. It would be more less a decent achievement if one can limit him to shots on goals in any game.
Rising Rookie:
With a full team of seasoned players, the only one qualified for the rookie tag would be the goalie, Choon Hun. This being his first outing for PFL.
But do not be fooled, he is certainly not your average rookie. Seeing off competition from two of the club's more experience goalie, a regular in state training, and a few call ups to train with the national players. Rookie? Fake one maybe.
With the cover he has upfront, the goalie would most probably have an easy ride through out the campaign. Yet, never let your guard down, you’ll never know when your opponent is up for a surprise or two.
Prediction:
Bendy:
Title contenders. Period.
It would be utterly insane not to rate them with the players they have.
Although the commitment of the KL fellas are unsure, rendering their full strength unknown, their current crop of players would be more than capable to handle any challenges ahead.
The million dollar question: How do you stop the Ztec Juggernaut?
Some say break their mental, break them.
True. To a certain extend. They do lose ground and lose focus when they lose their mind. Yet mental toughness hardly applies to any team.
My say: if they don't lose their heads, they will have the crown on their heads.

Jose:
Ztec 8cers or otherwise known also as "the Galacticos" of Penang fFoorball should find themselves at the top of the table by the end of the league. On paper, no team can stop them, but games are not won on paper. Therefore, there is every chance of an upset especially in their opening match when they face Contact FireAnts. Another possible threat should be against Innebandy!Co, which are looking to upset the odds against them.
However, if things were to go smoothly, there is absolutely no stopping the mighty Ztec marching forward to clich their first ever Division 1 title. UNLESS, they trigger their own self destruct button by losing their heads especially during the big matches.
