#30 Pete Mancini — 2016 Hybrid Pete Mancini’s energy is jittery but not nervous; effusive, and ebullient, like he’s on the starting line but ready to play like it’s universe. In the Breeze’s first match up against Philadelphia, Pete’s first active game with the Breeze this season, he showed that he’s not taking a single point for granted.
#32 Anthony McLean – 2016 Cutter Q&A with 2nd year Breeze player Anthony McLean When did you start playing Ultimate and how did you get involved with the sport?

A childhood filled with basketball and soccer made him a natural athlete. “Growing up, I was always playing sports.” Simply he says, “If you play a bunch of sports, you’ll be better at picking up sports.” By the time Wodatch “randomly thought of frisbee,”
