Well, if the NBA lockout wasn't bad enough, the JBL received some shocking and saddening news. For a couple years now we have been 13 teams strong. Well, whenever the NBA and the JBL resumes, we will only have 12 teams next season. The Belgrade Zombies are folding their tents for next season.
The JBL League office recently contacted Belgrade about his stance on the rookie draft when we learned of the shocking news. Apparently, Belgrade is moving to beautiful Montreal and has taken on a brand new challenging job. The move and the new job will take up a lot of time and Belgrade states he just won't have the time to put into the JBL. Marko's a competitive guy and didn't want to go at the JBL at anything left than 100% so he is folding his squad for next season.
Marko didn't rule out the idea of returning to the JBL in future seasons so we'll see if finds the time to come back. I can think of a few cities in Quebec that could use a JBL team...
Quebec Hams
Sherbrooke Shields
Montreal Madrid
OK, so maybe those aren't the best ideas...
anyways, I'm wishing Marko all the best in his move to Montreal and who knows, maybe one day, we'll see him back in the JBL ranks again.
