Breeze handler Alan Kolick tore both the Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) and Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) in his right knee while playing for the DC club team Truck Stop recently.
For the third time in four years the Breeze finished 10-4 and earned a spot in the AUDL Playoffs. And for the second straight year, that record is good enough to earn a #2 seed and 1st round home playoff game. #3 seed Montréal Royal (9-5) will come to town August 11 for a Friday evening battle starting at 7pm. The winner of that game will head north the next morning to face the #1 seed Toronto Rush (11-3) at 1pm on Sunday, August 13 for the right to represent the East Division at AUDL Championship VI August 26-27 in Montréal.

Ultiworld has placed odds on every remaining AUDL team in the quest for the 2017 AUDL Championship. The Breeze come in at 12-1, 7th best odds among the 12 playoff teams. It’s no surprise that Raleigh Flyers and Dallas Roughnecks are tied for most likely to lift the trophy — both are 3-1 favorites despite the fact that only one of them will make it to the Final Four in Montréal August 26-27.
Ultiworld released its inaugural “Streamability Rankings” yesterday, a subjective assessment and subsequent ranking of the interest and watchability of all 24 AUDL teams based on categories such as chance of playoffs, chance of close games, cool factor, and star power. Ultiworld selected resurgent home town heroes New York Empire #1. Here in DC we’re #6 in the AUDL Power Rankings, but #3 in Charlie’s heart.
