Stephen Fox: The Fox uses his incredible athleticism and coordination to fly through the sky and impress the crowds. A product of John Abbott and Brookwood basketball, Steve takes his quick yet controlled style of play from the hardwood straight to the pool. With his jumping ability combined with his shooting touch, Fox is a constant threat to beat whomever he faces.
Mike Habib: The "Range Rover" managed to turn himself into the "Sea Rover" with an impressive debut in Poolball. Mike, now 2-0 in competition and the only remaining unbeaten competitor, won both matches on a severely sprained ankle, leaving everyone to wonder what he can accomplish when fully healthy. One of Mike's most impressive accomplishments in his short-spanned career include a miraculous comeback from a 3-1 series deficit in which he demonstrated true desire and Paul-Pierce'esque determination.
Tyler Lemco: Tyler, playing on his home court, is widely considered the most dominant Poolball competitor of all time. The "Bill Russell of Poolball", who is also the co-founder of the sport, is one of the game's longest standing staples of excellence. The 2007 Poolball League Champion uses a sweet shooting touch and excessive effort on the boards to dominate opponents. Tyler is known for his often-impossible tip-ins and monstrous dunk put-backs. The current champion and fan-favorite, who uses both his competitive swimming and basketball background to his advantage, is definitely the man to beat in Poolball.
Kenneth Macintosh: "Piece of Shit" has been a gladiator in the Poolball league over the past season. Ken, always a dangerous competitor, can beat you with the shot or the putback When the shot is falling, Ken is almost unbeatable, and coupling that with his tricky and 'strategic' uniform-malfunctions while rebounding, it is no wonder why Ken is widely considered the greatest player to never win a title. Ken has won several series against champions but has never been able to win the second series and obtain an actual championship. Kenneth is also a trailblazer for African Americans worldwide, by not only breaking Poolball's color barrier but also becoming the first black to enter a pool.
Robert Myerson: A bit absent as of late, the name Robert Myerson still holds strong within Poolball circles. Robbie Mye, who has been competing since the sports' beginnings, is known for using his 6'4" height and insane reach to make un-imaginable grabs. An always competitive and always aggressive player, Myerson has all the tools necessary to be one of the greats of the sport. Even though he has missed the entire 2008 season so far, Robert's history still ranks him among one of the best to play the game.
Alex Perrault: Alex, along with Tyler Lemco, is the co-founder of Poolball. Not only has he been around since the start, he's been tearing through the field since day 1 as well. Even though he is not the champion, Mr.Perrault is considered by many to be the best in the league. He uses his strategic wit, shooting touch, and effort on the boards to his advantage in every game he competes in. Alex uses his impressive swimming background and familiarity in the pool to out-smart, out-hustle, and overall out-play practically any competition. Despite not being the biggest, fastest, or most athletic in the league, Alex continually stays among the top of the rankings.
Jon Stein: "Styronez" uses his vast basketball knowledge and strategic thinking pattern in order to impress any competitor he faces. Stein is capable of beating anyone on any given day as long as his shot is falling and his touch around the net is on point. Stein utilizes a strong jump shot and energy on the glass to his advantage in every game he plays. At 24, he is the elder statesman of the league but experts feel he still has plenty left in the tank. This old dog is definitely still learning new tricks as Jon continues to improve by a game by game basis.
