EMPIRE CHAMPIONS RECEIVE THEIR RINGS

 

 
 LONG BEACH, NY.... The USA Junior 'B' 2010 National Champion Empire team received their rings this past week at the Caruso house in a great ring party. With the Florida players in town, the get-together was the first time the team had been back together since their dramatic championship victory in March. The rings made by Jostens will be a prized possession for all the players and coaches. "The food and company were great and when the players came up to get their rings everyone was really proud of each member of the team" stated Coach Larry Nastasi. Owner Bob Santini was proud of his third National Championship team. In 1996, the Junior 'B' team won the Championship. Rob Scuderi was a member of that squad. In 2002, the CHA 'C' team also won the Nationals. Matt Gilroy was a member of that team. The rings are very nice, silver with a red stone with the AC on the top, surrounded by National Champions, etc. around the stone. On the sides, the AC logo is engraved on one side while the player's name, position and year 2010 is on the other. The pictures of the ring party were taken by Lisa Davie.
