Fukufuji stopped 40 shots in Royals
6-2 win vs. Long Beach
2006.1.1- The
3rd Asia League season opened with something
familar, a Kokudo win. That said there
are many new faces, a couple of new teams
and much to look forward to in this season.
The Summer started roughly when Golden
Amur, the Russian team quit the league
due to financial troubles. However, the
Korean team Kangwon Land and a special
team in China called the Nordic Vikings
joined the league. The Vikings, made up
mostly of players from Nordic countries,
beat Harbin 5-1 in their first game. Kangwon
made a go of it but lost to Anyang Halla
Winia 5-3. More news to come soon.
