Rising from the ashes of Hawks…the Bridge Street Fire: Engine 3G
Beer City Hoops Newest Franchise to begin play in 2024
[Grand Rapids, MI December 25, 2023] BeerCityHoops would like to announce the addition of the 12th franchise in league history, the Bridge Street Fire.
Current members of the Hawks and Hearts, Big Baby & Gr3g, respectively, and new recruits Vande & Komar, have been selected to build this team from the ground, like a Phoenix rising from the burning ashes of the past.
Since Year 1 of the BeerCityHoops league, Big Baby and Gr3g have played in a combined 53 games (26 & 27) on the books and multiple times each as a Lake Drive Substitute. This will mark the first time in the 4-year history they will play on the same team. (“It’s about time!”)Â
Incoming rookies Vande & Komar were each recruited by their new running mates. Vande is the newest member of the Lifetime Club. Komar has been spotted multiple times near Monroe and the Sixth Street bridge.
The Fire will take the 6th team slot over during the final 7 weeks of the 2023-24 regular season and playoffs, replacing the Hawks.
Their first game is January 9, 2024 versus City of Bridges at 7:45pm.
Red Cedar: Union of Hawks
Forced into a new crest, Year 1 Champs rebrand
Whence does the Red Hawk fly if time goes by in the age of gravity?
Forever will the Red Hawk soar like kites in the West Michigan wind. From the western shores of Muskegon Lake to the skies above West Muskegon Ave, the Union of Hawks ascend above the Red Cedar of the Grand Valley.
The Red Hawks of Force have rebranded as the Red Cedar: Union of Hawks, per league sources.
While most of the original Hawks found nests away from the League, some continually migrated between on court and off court during season 2. Newcomer Daniel Bk, the Hawks MVP who played every game last year, joined Year 1 returnees Cake and I’ll Will as the team went through serious roster turnover.
On the crest:
- five hawks represent the team on the floor
- the trees, hoop and arrow symbolize the flight of M-46 (Muskegon, Cedar Springs, Grand Rapids)
- the white trophy is the 2020-21 Championship
- (Big) Red Cedar (Springs) Union (GR) = HAWKS
The Hawks will move on from their former logo.
If you’re interested in joining the Red Cedar: Union of Hawks and are at least 30 years old, please REGISTER NOW!
Player Entry into the Gr3g League is contingent on REGISTERING for the League via our website while CREATING your persona (nickname & number, team selection) & PURCHASING YOUR OWN CUSTOM JERSEY ($150 one-time payment) with the plan on playing for a single team FOREVER (new jersey purchase required to change teams during offseason).
