Lakeview Grizzlies won the NHA Cup in April 2005, however the runners up were based in the capital of Great Bolsh which was completely destroyed during the civil war therefore we are sending another team, the Goldview Falcons, which though did not do so well are ready to participate.

OOC: Meaning that they can get crushed and should be ranked quite low though the Lakeview Grizzlies are an awesome team! :)
