Tony Felicella

 

 

Perhaps the most exciting player in Tribe history, Tony Felicella has risen through the ranks of floor and roller hockey and emerged as a legitimate star for the team. Felicella shares most of the scoring burden with Shawn Halford, and the two have formed a productive and entertaining partnership throughout the years. Felicella is a lightning quick skater (having emerged from a terribly awkward childhood) and smooth stickhandler with an eye for the net. He unfortunately has an equally effective eye for the penalty box in which he is currently having his name engraved. Number 91 isn’t a fighter but does not shy away from the rough stuff either. He is an honours graduate from the Dino Ciccarelli School of Antagonism, enabling him to draw about as many penalties as he himself is hit with.

Antonio is a major player in the dressing room and has used his wit and charm to organize various fundraisers as well as corporate sponsorships the last few years. Now if he could just get it to work with the ladies...

Neat little fact about Tony:

He orders his shoes from Shaquille O’Neill’s distributor, then has to stretch them a little bit. Another little known fact, Tony was once a skinny-four-eyed little weiner-boy that came out on the short end of several one-sided matches (as a member of the "Lourdes Losers") against Team Archangel (a mid-eighties predecessor of the modern day Tribe franchise).
