Barron brings in a strong squad who play together regularly, with a heavy Somalian-American presence on the team.
Eau Claire Heat FC - The Heat are a combination of Eau Claire's two top 7v7 amateur teams (EC Boys + EC Heat). The Heat have built up a strong roster, with many players having previous NPSL and MASL experience. Look for Eau Claire to have a target on their backs for the entirety of the season.
Hayward United SC - The Wolfpack come into the WPASL after a difficult first season in the DASL out of Duluth. Hayward will bring youth to the league, and will rely on some of their top scoring forwards and a good goaltender to compete this season. Look for the Wolfpack to be a dark horse in the league.
Inter Wisconsin FC - El Azul y Negro come into the season as a new club. Inter Wisconsin has played together under various names, and finished 2nd in the RLASL last year. The team consists of hodgepodge of different ethnicities and backgrounds, with players from Spooner, Cumberland, Hayward, Rice Lake, and everywhere in between.
Rice Lake City FC - Rice Lake City will begin the season as underdogs, having finished in the bottom half of the RLASL standings in 2018. City will have a few college players, but will mainly be a bit older than the average WPASL team. Look for Rice Lake to upset a few teams and as the only team playing on turf, they will have the advantage at home.
Saint Croix Valley SC - The "Saints" will look to be the biggest unknown in the league. A newly started club, SCV brings in a multitude of players from St. Croix, Osceola, Baldwin, Amery and Chisago Lakes. They will have some top end talent in their forwards and if they can get chemistry started early, they will be a force in the WPASL.
The season starts soon, keep an eye out for more exciting news from our league!
