The new season of LFA (American Football League) starts this Saturday. In the first round, Seahawks Gdynia will play an away match against Wilki Lodzkie. The team from Gdynia went through many changes during the off-season. They are however now ready for the new chapter of their history.
Season 2018
The last season was very difficult for Seahawks Gdynia. It was the first time since 2013 that the team from Tricity didn’t get into the final of the league. Their last match was a lost semifinal against Lowlanders Bialystok. After the game, the long-time head coach Maciej Cetnerowski announced that he discontinued the coaching career.
Changes
The legend of Seahawks Gdynia – Maciej Cetnerowski is still very active in the club as he is now the sports director. His successor on the field is Mele J Mosqueda – an American who has worked for a variety of German clubs thus knowing the reality of European leagues.
In addition, the team from Gdynia now has two new imports – Philip Juhlin (QB) and Barron Miller (LB). The latter one has been chosen the best tackling player in the Austrian league last season.
Additionally, there were some more notable changes in the coaching crew. Gawel Pilachowski trains the Running Backs and Peter Plesa takes care of the Defensive Backs. Both coaches are well-known to fans of American Football in Poland. The respect they’ve gained thanks to their hard work can definitely benefit the players they cooperate with.
