“We have that element of surprise on our side. That element of surprise combined with tested, tried and true club support at our back provides a foundation for seasons to come.” - Michelle Paul, Captain In just the last issue, Captain of our Major Women, Michelle Paul gave us an overview of a team with mostly new players, but still wearing the historic symbols and colors of our club. She told a positive and forward thinking story about a team with no where to go but up and a determination to get there. In a short time this team achieved a success of recognition in Eastern Pennsylvania. Yes maybe they had some element of surprise, and they certainly had club support, but they also worked together as a team to win when they had to win to move forward and eventually take the title and bring home the cup! We at the German Hungarians pride ourselves in traditions and their upkeep, and we recognize The Major Division Women lifting the EPSA Paul Stilley Memorial Cup on Sunday, March 26, 2017 after they won the competition in a 1:0 win the great foundation we stand on as an organizaover Lancaster City FC. tion. There are many footings in that slab and we still add some here and there. The Major Women added one this weekend. While a success is never a reason to rest on your laurels, it can be part of that foundation that Michelle told us about. We hope as a club that these players, and staff, and their supporters use this win as a base to build future successes on. We hope that with tested, tried, and true club support, our team will continue our proud traditions in every thing they do. Michael
WERNER FRICKER JR. INDUCTED INTO EAST PENNSYLVANIA HALL OF FAME On Saturday, February 25, Werner Fricker Jr. was inducted into the Eastern Pennsylvania Soccer Hall of Fame. The induction took place at the Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Association (EPYSA) Awards Banquet as it does yearly. The Fricker family as well as a number of our members attended the event at the Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square. Many wonderful words were said that night but we believe these ones stood out: “To have a foundation like the German Hungarians….I wish everyone could have a foundation in this game like that.” from Werner Fricker Jr. The other inductees in 2017 were Peter Kennedy, Robert Ong, Paul Stilley, and Jeffrey DeLuca each of which have made their marks on our game in Eastern Pennsylvania. We as a club thank them. We thank Werner for his commitment to soccer and to his club, his foundation, the German Hungarians.
