STORY

Pool D like Pool of Death, with a rookie team that has competed in 5 Masters this year and 2 World Tour powerhouses.
D like Dynamite like what former number 1 player in the world Simon Finzgar has in his legs this year.
D like the Dragon Bogdan Dragovic, the Zemun star who ranks 3rd overall in the scoring list with his fireballs from behind the arc and one of the meanest shammgods on the circuit.
D like "Don’t reach, young blood" as Saskatoon captain Michael Linklater has put more people on skates than Tony Hawk.
D like Dynasty as Saskatoon and Piran have played in a combined 7 World Tour Finals.
D like "Do it again" as Piran and Zemun have met twice in the last 2 Masters. Two absolute World Tour classics with plot twists more insane than the Sixth Sense.
