The West Snowy Grinders is a professional Roofball team that plays in The Quentinian Roofball Organization. They have won The QRO Champions Cup once, in 1997. Founded in 1961, the team is one of the younger ones in the league. They are a part of The Eastern Roofball Conference, and The ERC Northwest division, along with The Boston Privateers, and The Maximum City Pitch Black. The current head coach is Loren Olloss, and the owner of the team is Randy Fedderstoff.

History

The Grinders were founded in 1961, after the league was already developed and had large amounts of fans. The team was not very popular at first, with many residents of the already being established fans of The Jameisville Elves and The Lindin Founders. However soon the fan base grew, and gained popularity, mainly with residents of the western, non-connected part of Snowland.

In the '60s, the team was not successful at all, and had one of the only Defeated Roofball Seasons in history in 1964. However, in the late '70s and early '80s, things started to look up for the team, and they had a few good winning seasons, led by WO Maddie Rego, culminating in their first and only Champions Cup victory. In the early 2000's, the team had a few losing seasons, but with the help of coach Garret Shaw, the team acquired 4 first round picks for The QRO Draft of 2004. However, the General Manager at the time, Batty Grosseman's picks failed to produce, with the Grinders Draft of 2004 being considered the absolute worst draft a team has ever had in history.'

After this bungle by the front office, in 2011 the owner, Serena Kindy, sold the team to its current owner, Randy Fedderstoff, who immediately cleaned house, firing the GM, coach, and 12 other front office executives. After new executives were hired that same year, the team went 11-19, which was much better than they had been doing recently, and the next seasons they picked up many free agents, some of which are still on the team, including Peter Vandan and Marquette Jaklaxks. The team made The Tournament twice after those signings, and today are a relevant contenders every year.

The roster of the Grinders includes 21 total players, 11 starters and 10 alternates.
