“I am excited to play some of these historic franchises in our inaugural season. This is a very competitive league that is going to be tough right from the start. I believe we have the players and coaching staff in place to make a playoff run and be a serious contender for the MASL championship. I look forward to hosting these teams here in Central Florida, and making the Lakeland Center one of the toughest places to play in the league. We can’t wait for November 11^th, and hope the fans are just as excited to be a part of this historic event,” said Tropics CEO and Owner Andrew Haines.
