Interestingly, the team has a series of byes in Weeks 5, 6, 8, 10, and 11, giving them some well-deserved rest and recovery time.

However, come December, the action heats up as the team plays against former champions of the league Bellingham United and Tacoma Stars Reserves. Both matches are pivotal and might have playoff implications.

January sees the team take on Everett City and Oly-Pen at their home ground, Arena Sports in Mill Creek. The earlier kickoff time against OlyTown in Week 12 at the Evergreen Pavillion is one to note.

Wrapping up the regular season in Week 16, the face-off against Tacoma Stars Reserves could potentially determine playoff positions.

February has the team traveling to Clark County Indoor to play against newcomers Vancouver Lightning. As we transition into playoffs, the details remain TBD, but the excitement is palpable.
