Skater Scary Only says they have a lot of new players joining their returning veterans, including a graduate from the Junior, age 8-17 league.
For people wanting to see the games or take part, she says there will be lots of opportunity throughout the summer.
In April, Neversweets player Sophie Brutale was named by the Town of Paradise as one of the Athletes of the Year.
Only says they will have five games throughout the season, including a charity game June 22 featuring two all new teams.
Tickets are available from players or at the door at Jack Byrne Arena. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. You can find more information here.
