Mission Snipers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mission Snipers are a professional roller hockey team from New York, which competes in the NARCh Pro and TORHS Pro tournament series.

The Mission Snipers are one of, if not the oldest Roller Hockey organizations in the country. This organization has won the most NARCh National Championships in the world.

In 1999, The Mission Snipers and the Detroit Mission Stars received INLINE HOCKEY CENTRAL'S game of the year award. Mike Cianfranni also received the Player of the Year award presented by INLINE HOCKEY CENTRAL.

In 2007, the Mission Snipers won the NARCh Winter Nationals in Arizona. The D-1 team (who is most of their pro roster) took out the Mission Habs in the Championship game. At that same tournament the Midget team captured victory over a strong AKS team. The last summer victory was in 2006, also in the D-1 Division, where they beat the Mission Militia in OT.

The Snipers' most recent Pro championship was at the 2008 East Coast WinterNationals, when they defeated the LA Pama Cyclones in the championship game.
