Who is Dennis Gräbner? Inga: He's 22 and from a horse ranch near Wuppertal in Averland. He is tall and agile, and was drafted to the team this Summer.

What is he like as a person? Inga: He is a team player, and likes to contribute. He is good at encouraging others to contribute too, in his calm, but enthusiastic way. Often, he takes initiatives to talk together about specific plays and encourage new ways of thinking about game situations. I'm pretty sure he will, sooner or later, become coach himself. If he lives that long...

What was your first impression of him? Inga: Second day of training we divided into two teams to play a couple of halfs, and got creamed by Anders' team. 3-0 down , and in a break were everyone else was just trying to get the pulse down, Dennis said: "Maybe we should talk a little about how to counter that run by Latimer... I'm sure using Nicola as safety instead could help, but..." That was sooo Dennis.

A fun fact about him? Inga: He keeps two horses in a stable just outside Carroburg, and he often rides to training.

How will Coach Vatn use him? Inga: Dennis is central player in coach Vatn's defensive thinking. He is always on the LOS together with Ballard, and uses his Sidestepping abilities to get as much out of harms way as possible at the start of the drive. Later, he will close in with the opponent players to use guard and sidestepping abilities to improve his teammates' chances of hitting other players. Hitting him is then always at the risk of letting him move to somewhere he can be even more useful...
