11/09/2009 - With forward Aaron King and midfielder Travis Carey sidelined with injury and both midfielders Clayton Zelin and Chris Salvaggione leaving for clubs in Frankfurt Germany, the Dynamite made a few last minute adjustments to their roster in preparation for their Home Opener against the San Diego Sockers this Saturday.
"It was great having Clayton and Chris in camp with us and while we will miss them on the field this season, I am happy to see them make their chances to move on to the next level. I think I can speak for the team in wishing them luck on their endeavors - we'll all still be rooting for you back home." Mac Howell.
Officially joining Denver are defender/midfielder Brett Ryals, defender Mario Carrillo, and midfielder Chris Miller.
Ryals, an original member of the Denver Dragons (Colorado Predators) of the Premier Arena Soccer League (PASL-Premier), has previous professional experience having played for the Colorado Comets of the United Interregional Soccer League (USISL). Brett has been training with the team all pre-season, notching 4 goals and 2 assists in just 3 appearances as a defender, and looks to be another weapon hidden in the Dynamite's arsenal.
Dallas Texas native, Mario Carrllio has made the move to Denver after some recent stints with Dallas Vitesse, Duncanville Revolution, and the Rockwall Raptors of the PASL-Premier. Carrillo also brandishes pro experience from his time with the USISL's Mesquite Kickers.
Miller, another Colorado State University (Pueblo) product, caught the eye of Denver's coaching staff and is now set to make his professional debut with the team.
The Dynamite will look to capturing their first division and PASL-Pro championship titles when the 2nd season of Dynamite Arena Soccer in Denver gets underway this Saturday at 3:00PM against the San Diego Sockers.
