The Outfit’s charter team the Syndicate has been in a lot of places this year. While generally that would mean interesting travel and wild stories of strange rural Midwest towns, this season leaned more towards a different direction. Structurally the Syndicate has changed in players more often than it has in recent years past. The farewells to classic, talented Outfit skaters and OGs has been heart-breaking and it’s hard to imagine the Outfit without them. But the foundation of the Outfit and what we stand for as a league is too strong to crumble at loss. Maintaining our Division 1 status is a shining example of how little we’re willing to give up even if our best friends and top skaters can no longer be there with us to bask in its glory.
