We have worked very hard trying to get the Legends back on the field, but due to a few complications, were unable to do so. As I mentioned the other day on WHBC, the city has allowed us to stay in position and play in 2011. This is a ways off and will keep you posted. The downturn in the ecomony is a slow come back, but certainly headed in the right direction.
A special thanx to Don Degasperis, Ted Rhodes, Dick Brahler, Dumonts Sporting Goods, Image Video, Dennis Lambes, Diamond Sports Complex, Dr. Roger Palutsis, Dr. Michael Thomas, Paul Cipar, Eddie Puskrich, coaches, players, front office staff, dance team, fans and many others who have worked closely with us. We are encouraged for the 2011 season.
We have switched gears for awhile and transitioned into the Legends Foundation. Many may know, Anthony Griggs, former Cleveland Browns linebacker with 13 years in the Steelers front office, with Malone University students (SIFE program) spoke at the Juvenile Correction Center and the Babe Stern Center in Canton to kids to encourage them to make good choices in life. This is an After the Bell, 4:20 Daily Choices. If you Google 420, you will find it is Hitler's birthday, Columbine tragedy, national pot smoking day and others. We want create awareness for kids to make good choices each day at this time. Studies show drugs, alcohol, teen pregnancies, unsupervised computer surfing, laziness, obesity and gangs unite at this time, making for poor choices, affecting 24,000,000 fatherless children, unemployment, job and family service needs and the quality of life of many. It is a simple message, but not easy to make good decisions each day.
Thanks Anthony, Tabitha, Heidi, Christina and Dr. Szendrey for your efforts and interest in our kids. Great job.

The DREAM Begins with the LEGENDS
and Ends at The HALL OF FAME
After months of meetings with Business Owners, Directors, CEO's, Managers, NFL players, Elected Officials, After Hour Socials, Pastors, Family and Friends we are very close to making an official announcement on the new era of the Legends for 2010. A few more details to iron out. Please stay tuned and get involved with players/dance team tryouts, assistant coaches roles, front office staff, game day support, media partnerships, sponsorships, fans, game day schedules and special theme night promotions.
Stay tuned and thanks again to everyone who has been such an encouragement and supportive to make this happen for the 2010 Legends. We have had alot of discussions and very soon it will be time for action.
If you have an interest in any of the areas mentioned above, please email me at jhoffman356@yahoo.com or contact me at 330 322 8495. We want to continue to develop win/win relationships, repair any short falls, be a strong community advocate and will need great people to help lead the charge to bring another championship back to our community. We peaked a bit early in 2006 when we won our first one, but we are in the right place at the right time to do it again going into our sixth year for the organization.
Best regards,
