Dingers
The Dinger's are a dominant flag football team of the AFFL (Adult Flag Football League) in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and most notably the 2017 champions. The Dinger's came into existence in 2014 under the founder's and co-General Managers Jorgen Hus, and Mitch Stevens. The two built their first roster with what appeared to be a very solid team on paper. However, after an average to unsatisfactory start to the 2014 campaign, the quarterback position would become up for grabs. Mitch Stevens, also a player on the team, and without question Canada's best flag football player, would seize a new opportunity to become the starting QB. With the close of the 2014 season, major roster changes were inevitably about to take place. With the numerous roster changes, the Dinger's took on a completely different look, and strategy for the 2015 season. With QB Mitch Stevens at the helm, and new additions, the direction the Dinger's were heading in would prove to be nothing short of biblical.

After 2 seasons of just coming up short, but consistently competing with the top teams, the Dinger's confidently finalized their roster. It was in the 2016 campaign that the Dinger's front office knew they not only had the right players off the field, but on the field as well, and playing in the right positions. From here the roster would not change and the players really started to develop chemistry and cohesion.

Heading into the 2017 season, the Dinger's felt more confident then ever, after an all around productive off-season. A new playbook was installed, and many players benefited from their off-season weight programs. For example, players such as Chang Mang, often seeing doing split squat jumps with paint cans in his living room- put on multiple pounds of new muscle while increasing speed on the field.

Once the 2017 season started, and the Dinger's overcame adversity early in week 1 vs the Romo's, in arguably the greatest flag football game of all time- it was clear this Dinger team was destined to make history. The Dinger's would finish the regular season undefeated, and clinch the number 1 seed. From here the Dinger's knew no matter what the lineup was, and who they were playing, this was their year. They would win the 2017 championship over their most heated rivals, the Slinger's (**It should also be noted that the Slinger's have not beaten a Dinger team in literally years**). It would end up being one of the best championship games to ever be played, and in front of record setting crowd numbers of approximately 70+ people. Players such as Jason Hus, and James Vause, would turn the early Slinger lead into a tie with momentum swinging interceptions, and a touch down before half by safety James Vause. From here the Dinger's never looked back, and with class, would hoist the cup as time ran out.

The Dinger's pride themselves in constructing their roster on character, highly self motivated guys that are all versatile and can play multiple positions. This is why they do not have to carry more than 8 or 9 players on a roster. The roster is:

Mitch Stevens- QB/Rush- Lead the league in every category as a QB, with a 81.2% completion percentage (177 completions on 218 attempts), 287 QB rating and an unheard of 68 throwing TDs. **was only QB not on the official stat list for interceptions thrown**. Also had 2 sacks at rush with a pair of interceptions.

Chad Braun- WR- Lead the league in 1 point conversions (8), and was second in the league with receiving touchdowns (18). Chad has both speed and quickness and proved to be a valuable asset to the Dinger's. He is currently under contract for years to come.

Michael "Wally" Waldron- CB/LS- Lead the league in receiving TDs (22) and proved to be a valuable asset to the team handling both long snapping and CB duties. Wally was also third in the league in tackles with 23.

John "Trumps" Trumpy- WR- Finished the seaon with 526 yards on 36 receptions for a 14.6 YPC average. Trumps proved to be a reliable player to move the chains and also came up with the big plays in crucial situations. Trumps is currently under contract for years to come as well.

Julan Lynch- WR- A big time vertical threat who had 480 yards on 20 receptions for a 24 YPC average. Julan is a big body who can run and make plays both down the field, and in tight quarters on the goal line. Julan is another life time Dinger.

Chang Mang- CB/Wild Cat- Chang is an all around versatile player who brings a ton of character and personality to the team. Chang has locked down his Corner spot in each of his 4 years on the Dinger's, and is in a life long contract with the organization. The Dinger's love the chang.

Jason Hus- S/WR- Jason lead the league in interceptions during the regular season (7) and has solidified his spot as a top safety in the league. Jason has a natural knack for the ball and can literally be lined up at any position on both sides of the ball and excel.

James Vause- S- James in an outstanding safety and came in the clutch during the championship game with a huge pic 6 to tie the game up. James also led the league with 36 tackles and also serves as the teams play caller on Defense. James is a high motor, super high character guy that represents everything the Dinger's are about. James is yet another Dinger for life.

Jorgen Hus- Manager- Started the team 4 years ago with a simple dream. With patience, some time, and the right guys, the Dinger's have officially started their championship dynasty in 2017.
