"A Stampede is Coming to Superior & the MFL in 2006"

The Superior Stampede Football Club will trot onto the MFL scene in 2006. Although the team is new, the staff and majority of players are not. The team is led by three investors in Team President Marty Schubitzke, Team Treasurer/Asst. Head Coach Joel Brekken, and Head Coach/Director of Operations Terry Fawcett. All three were involved with the Duluth-Superior Shoremen team that made the GPFL & MFL semi-finals in their two years of existence. Returning MFL All-Star and MLFN All-Americans include, LB Nick Farrell, DT Lincoln Holiday, and Safety Rob Smith, who was named a First Team All-American at the "Iron man " position. Smith recently caught the game winning TD in the MFL All-Star Game, and Holiday was named the Jim Marshall MVP of the game. The Stampede will play all home games at Ole Haugsrud Memorial Field on the campus of the University Wisconsin-Superior. Beer will be sold at all home games, which makes the Stampede one of the few minor league teams in the country to be able to offer beer at games! Additionally, all Stampede games, both home and away, will be broadcast by The Fan 560 WEBC radio. The Stampede will open their 2006 season with a non-league game against the Iron Range Hitmen at home on July 1st. The Hitmen were GPFL runner-ups in 2005.

Former MFL Commissioner and Coach to head NAFL

February 14, 2006 - (PRWEB) February 15, 2006 -- John “JT” Turner comes to the NAFL with over 20 years successful sports management, coaching, fundraising, education, and professional sports experience. Turner graduated from the University of Miami with a Bachelor of Science degree, where he played four years on the Hurricane football team, and then was drafted into the National Football League. Turner played nine years in the NFL from 1978 to 1987, eight years for the Minnesota Vikings, and one year for the San Diego Chargers.

JT has coached high school level basketball, track & field, and football. He was an assistant football coach at St. Thomas University. In 1995 JT was the first head coach hired for the Mid American Football League (MFL) coaching for three seasons with the Minneapolis Lumberjacks and the St. Paul Sting, before taking on the duties of MFL Commissioner from 1998-99. JT moved to the Arena level for one year in 1998 coaching the Minnesota Monsters.

After the MFL, JT started with the Women’s Professional Football League (WPFL) in 1999. JT served as Director of Football Operations and head coach with Minnesota Vixens for the “No Limits Tour”. In 2000 he became the WPFL’s Commissioner where he supervised staff members and volunteers, negotiated sponsorship agreements, created WPFL Rules & Regulations, was responsible for oversight of football operations for ten teams nation-wide, coordinating press conferences and promotional activities.

From 1987 to 1999 JT operated a separate business, JTJ Enterprises, where he organized and designed celebrity athletic events, developed fundraising events for public and private sector businesses and schools, directed and developed charity board/committee activities, marketed advertising and sponsorship packages. Also during this time he designed and coordinated football camps as well as clinics for youth and adults.

JT resides in Minneapolis, MN with his family and eight year-old son. Most of JT’s spare time is dedicated to racquetball and serving on the board of the Minnesota Racquetball Association.

“I am excited to bring JT aboard. JT is proven not only in professional football, but in league operations as well. JT will oversee the rules enforcement of the league as well as create new youth oriented programs,” said Rob Licopoli, NAFL President.
