Starting lineup

For three years, my addiction to volleyball became apparent. Playing in tournaments, leagues, and local scrimmages as much as possible, it was clearly an addiction. The adrenaline involved in tight matches, the split second decisions that decided whether you would win the next point or lose it. Those were things that kept me coming back for more. One of the leagues I had been participating in for at least 3 years was the Adult Volleyball Co-ed League in McAllen. The last 2 years, team TCB…

leagues in Russia, players were payed under the table, so technically they were not under contract because all of the payments weren’t on the books. So that means they were allowed to be seen as amateurs. That is how the Soviets always stacked their lineup with pro rate talent. They found a loophole and took advantage of it. At the time, college hockey was in the very early stages and it was very uncommon to have a college player that would even make it to the pros. Majority of the NHL was made…
