The Montreal Royal are introducing their 2018 roster in style. The Royal are looking to build off of their playoff apperance in 2017 with much of the same core from last season.
After three seasons and two playoff appearances with the Cannons, perennial MVP contender Mischa Freystaetter is joining the Raleigh Flyers. Now with Freystaetter and 2017 MVP Jonathan Nethercutt on the roster for 2018, the Flyers can boast two of the top five players in the league on their roster.
One of the most consistent performers the league has ever seen, Marcelo Sanchez has re-signed with the San Francisco FlameThrowers for 2018. Sanchez hasn't missed a game since the 2014 season, winning three AUDL titles in that span. Over his four year professional career, Sanchez has averaged an incredible 29 assists, 28 goals, and 13 blocks per season.
After putting up 21 assists, 41 goals, and 23 blocks during the 2017 regular season, Antoine Davis is back with the San Francisco FlameThrowers in 2018.
