Stephen Kelly and Brendan Fowler are the Most Athletic Faceoff Duo in the PLL
Listen now
Description
In this week's episode, the Archers dynamic faceoff duo of Stephen “Bones” Kelly and Brendan Fowler meet Greg at the Stripe. Kicking things off with Bones Kelly, the two reminisce on Kelly’s epic Week 1 performance that saw him pick up the first ever PLL goal all within the first 10 seconds of the game. What Kelly lacks in size at the faceoff position (he is roughly 20+ pounds lighter than all of his opponents), he makes up for in speed and agility being one of the fastest players in the league. Stephen Kelly was the only player to go 100% on clamps last season, and discusses his offseason training in preparation to go against Trevor Baptiste in Utah.  Meanwhile, Brendan Fowler praised his fellow faceoff teammate Kelly and said the two know how to check egos at the door and when to share the faceoff position as each guy gets hot. Fowler says he goes into games not thinking about stats but each draw and how he is contributing to the team. As a natural all around athlete, Fowler says it’s his competitive nature that drives him and when he’s on the field you will always get his all. Greg calls the guys a two headed monster that people are really going to enjoy watching this Championship Series.  Greg Gurenlian, widely considered the greatest faceoff man of all time, has traded in his pads for a mic this summer. Leveraging his experience on the field, coaching expertise and media savvy, Gurenlian will bring a new era of coverage to the position that he’s helped pioneer. In The Stripe, Greg will chat with the top faceoff athletes in the sport, breakdown matchups, and analyze game performances.  Please rate and review and leave a question you'd like us to ask an athlete on future shows.
