Three men will soon learn their fate after a Gwinnett County jury found them guilty of raping a woman and robbing her and her boyfriend.
The incident happened around 2 a.m. on July 21, 2021, at The Falls apartment complex in Duluth.
Daquain R. Livingston, 21, Elijah Nil Curney, 20, Dashawn Andrettie Harris, 18, and a previously convicted suspect ran into the couple in the apartment complex parking lot where their two vehicles were parked side by side.
According to the Gwinnett County District Attorney’s Office, the men pointed guns at the couple and assaulted the woman while holding a gun on the boyfriend and forcing him to watch the attack. At some point, one of the suspects threatened to “blow her brains out” if the woman in any way retaliated during the assault. After the attack, the suspects took items from both victims’ cars and walked away, as the victims ran away in different directions. Both called the police.
The DA said authorities were able to get descriptions of the trio. Gwinnett officials matched Ring video camera footage collected from the area just before the attack.
Police were later able to match DNA from a rape kit to Curney. Police matched fingerprints in the vehicle to Harris.
At the time, police received calls about other cars in the area being broken into, and a gun was reported stolen from one of the vehicles. Curney was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped and searched just over a month later, and the stolen gun was found in the car, according to the DA’s office.
Investigators questioned Curney, who matched video surveillance from the day of the incident. Investigators said he admitted being there during the rape and partially identified the other suspects involved. When police searched Curney’s phone, they found frequent contacts and social media posts with Harris.
Livingston was identified by his height, which was described as being over 6 feet, and the bright red sweatpants he was wearing the night of the rape.
“This is a despicable crime that absolutely could not go unchecked,” Gwinnett County District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson said. “The trauma these defendants inflicted on the victims is unimaginable and these three men deserve to be punished to the fullest extent of the law.”
On Monday, all three were found guilty of rape, aggravated sodomy and armed robbery. Curney was also convicted of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
They will be sentenced on Oct. 28.

The U.S. Equal Employment Oppor­tunity Commission filed a lawsuit against Asphalt Paving Systems on Sept. 26, alleging the company created a hostile environment for Black employees in Zephyrhills, Florida.
The EEOC alleges that Asphalt Paving Systems violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 1991 by subjecting 12 Black now-former employees — Michael Cheaves, Anthony Clemons, David Cooper, Freddrick Cooper, Broderick Curney, Olusoga Davis, Kendall Gadson, Joseph Haynes, Alvin Matooram, Willie Moore III, David Whipper, and Jack Cornell Youmans to racial harassment in the workplace.
Tumblr media
The EEOC claim lays out a litany of allegations against APS, many of which are enumerated below.
According to the lawsuit, the employees were repeatedly called the “N-word” and “boy” by other employees and management. They were also subjected to demeaning working conditions, such as being forced to work in heavy rain while white employees watched. The Black employees were also forced to relieve themselves outside, while white employees were allowed to use the bathrooms indoors.
“Throughout the course of Charging Parties’ employment with APS, they were subjected to racial epithets and racially-charged verbal abuse from white supervisors and co-workers, threatening conduct by white supervisors and co-workers, and being forced to work in demeaning and humiliating working conditions,” the complaint says.
A white foreman named Anthony Buchholz was one of the supervisors who often used racial slurs to refer to Black employees, according to the EEOC.
“Buchholz would use the N-word frequently in front of Curney,” reads the lawsuit. “Curney objected to Buchholz’s use of the N-word directly, but Buchholz continued to use it. After Curney’s objections, Buchholz then came to a job site with a friend and yelled ‘I ain’t gonna ever run from a Black N—r’ at Curney.”
The lawsuit also noted that a foreman named Douglas Henry often called Black employees “boy” and that the company prevented a paving crew from finding other employment by calling a potential employer and telling them not to hire the men. The men were also called “Black boy,” “monkey,” and “Black motherf-cker” by Asphalt Paving System employees.
Supervisor Dennis Williams was overheard saying the Black paving crew “were looking like a bunch of monkeys,” and another employee, Mike Whitson, called Freddrick Cooper a monkey directly to his face “on a frequent basis.” Whitson also called the men “sissies” and “f—ggots” and referred to David Cooper as a “dumb N—r.”
The company’s mechanic, referred to in the lawsuit as “Jackie,” made comments to Black employees such as, “Black is beautiful, tan is grand, but white is the color of the big boss man” and that he was “Black from the waist down.”
By March 2022, every one of the Black employees had either resigned from APS or been fired.
EEOC Regional Attorney Robert E. Weisberg called the racial discrimination the employees faced “toxic.”
“The allegations in this case are deeply disturbing and illustrate the unfortunate reality that, 60 years after Title VII was enacted, toxic racial discrimination still plagues many workplaces in Florida,” said Weisberg. “The EEOC will continue to vigorously fight for the rights of Black employees and applicants to be free from workplace discrimination.”  
The lawsuit asks Asphalt Paving Systems to “institute and carry out” policies, practices, and programs that provide Black employees with equal employment opportunities that “eradicate” their unlawful employment practices as well as provide the plaintiffs with compensation “in amounts to be determined at trial.”
The lawsuit also requests the plaintiffs be compensated for “the unlawful employment practices described herein, including emotional pain, suffering, inconvenience, loss of enjoyment of life, and humiliation,” as well as their legal costs.

“Holdup Pair Get Penitentiary Term,” North Bay Nugget. December 3, 1930. Page 1. ---- Sudbury Magistrate Gives One Man Five Years, The Other Three ---- Sudbury, Dec. 3 - (Special) — Appearing for sentence before Magistrate J.S. McKessock this morning on a charge, to which they pleaded guilty a week ago, of robbing the Chicago Cafe of about $9 while armed. Dan McDonald, aged 43 [TOP PICTURE] was sentenced to five years and Steve Harboway, aged 18, was sentenced to three years in Kingston penitentiary. Both men had previous records: McDonald's dating from 1921 and Harboway from 1926 and Crown Attorney Wilkins asked for a severe sentence, remarking that stringent measures should be taken to check such crimes, especially at the outset of the Winter when unemployment is rife. McDonald asked for leniency on his own behalf, remarking: “I was the victim of circumstances and I beg for you to deal with me as leniently as possible." J. A. S. Plouffe, on behalf of Harboway, asked for a light sentence. He pointed out that Harboway’s parent were respectable Ukrainians who had lived in Canada for 28 years and that although Harboway had a record he had been working steadily and had kept out of trouble for over a year. Mr. Plouffe contended that it could not help Harboway to be placed among expert and experienced criminals at Kingston and that a Burwash sentence would not have such a detrimental effect on his character. It was only because Harboway had been laid off and had been out of work for a month that he had been led into crime, said Mr. Plouffe, pointing out also that his client had not been the instigator of the hold-up but had been invited to steal by McDonald. The bench meting out the sentences said: "The men held up a restaurant; how far they would have gone if they had not been resisted is not certain. I do not think that the younger fellow needed much coaxing. It is not a case for Burwash. I do not think that incarceration at Kingston will corrupt Harboway’s morals. I think that has been done already."
[AL: McDonald, who also went as J.D. Curney, is probably one of the most interesting characters I’ve ever encountered in my research into the lives and careers of 1930s criminals in Canada. Born in Newfoundland, (”on a small inlet on the northern shores, the land is barren, the wind, raw and piercing, the sea, dark green leading against the cliff in such a fury that spray goes up a hundred feet”) McDonald was a hobo of the first order, a man who wandered across Canada from shore to shore, working odd jobs, begging, stealing, dining and dashing, joining political organizations (he quips once in his memoir: ‘I’ve been kicked out of every place I tried to join: the church; the Salvation Army; the IWW; the penitentiary...’), riding rod, and ending up not infrequently run out of town, put in jail for vagrancy, and turning to armed robbery to secure food and money...which he would spend quickly and await the inevitable consequences. Sometime in 1938-1939 he wrote a memoir, The Bark of an Underdog, unpublished, that I found in a document set at UQAM. It’s a FASCINATING little book. In it, he claimed to be “square, fair, and truthful” and wanted to detail his life as completely as possible. According to this memoir, he had served on several ships out of Newfoundland and Halifax, including the Jenny Ling (a cargo hauler) and the Southern Cross (a sealer). He also enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force, serving in several battles and claiming to have been “blown head over heels” at Paschendale - his regimental number, one of several numbers he claimed defined his life, checks out and he did indeed serve until honorably discharged for injuries. McDonald claimed then he worked in the coal mines in Cape Breton as a machine helper, after that, but was hurt in a cave in and narrowly avoided death, but leaving him with a limp he’d bear throughout his life. 
After that, he hitchhiked and rode the rails west, getting chased out of Montreal, joining up with a laker doing a spring trip to Lake Superior, and then heading to Iroquois Falls to work as a lumberjack. He then decided to became a member of the I.W.W., having encountered these syndicalists in the bush camps, and joining the One Big Union and working in Port Arthur (now Thunder Bay, my hometown) to gain money to donate to the cause. After the big strikes in 1919 and 1920, he was unemployed, and turned again to "bumming". Here starts his first serious period of incarceration, with short bouts in Burwash Industrial Farm and the Port Arthur Jail and Lakehead Industrial Farm for theft. He spent eight months in Port Arthur Jail for bumming and the day he got out, in early 1926, MacDonald went to the Stanley Cafe on Cumberland Street, stole ten dollars from the till, used this “gorge myself on pork chops” at the Prince Arthur Hotel restaurant and spend the rest on booze with the “jolliest bunch of hobos that ever rode a rattler.” For the Stanley Cafe job, he was sentenced to the Fort William Industrial Farm for a year, escaped that “hoose-gow”, and made it to Kenora, Ontario, where the Chief of Police put unemployed men to work catching stray dogs... until the “Chief got wise" that McDonald was an ex-criminal, and he fled to Hornepayne and then to Winnipeg.
McDonald ended up taking a freight west and making his way all the way to Nelson, B.C., where he was worked around town and begged during the summer. He arrested and given thirty days for punching a local merchant in the face “because I was dead broke, on the ‘steam’ and sick of him asking me to move on or spend money I didn’t have.” After 30 days in the Prince Rupert Jail, he was arrested for the Fort William escape and sentenced to three years in Manitoba Penitentiary. He became inmate #3016 and in the three years there learned to read and write much better, at a high school level, enough that he started to write poetry about his experiences. Many of these poems are included in his memoir. Chased out of Winnipeg “for no reason other than being an ‘ex-convict,’” he ended up in Sudbury, where with “an old rusty German luger revolver” he bought at a pawn shop (he claimed he couldn’t afford ammunition for it) he robbed the American Cafe. He doesn’t mention Harboway in his memoir, although it looks like they met in Manitoba Penitentiary, and Harboway was from Port Arthur, Ontario, after all.
I’ll write more about the rest of The Bark of an Underdog when we get to his second Kingston penitentiary sentence, which started in 1936, but unfortunately his memoir has little about his time inside the Kingston prison as #1999: “The rules [of parole] do not permit me to account fully, as to what took place in Kingston Penitentiary from 1931 to 1935, a shame for I could do a little howling here about that time...”
Luckily, the riot of October 1932 at Kingston Penitentiary led to an investigation, and McDonald spoke a great deal to the investigators once the dust settled. McDonald worked in No. 2 Stone Shed at the penitentiary, one of the centres of inmate resistance and organizing against the guards, where he broke rocks for construction purposes. He believed that the riot was caused by “mental depression and irritation...The men are so depressed with no recreation, no entertainment, nothing to look forward to. It is the monotony.” He believed the officers were needlessly cruel and that "the inability of the officers to deal justly with the men" pushed them to the edge. "Some of the guards do not seem to have the ability to read a man’s character. I think myself, I have a better sense than them, but of course I am only a convict now...if these officers were called together and taught how to judge men and treat them justly, much good would come of it. I believe in a snappy command but not a snappy insulting one.” He believed that most prisoners would be “...willing to let bygones be bygones if these officers would speak more kindly, if they could learn to deal more leniently but firmly.” He resented their bad language. 
McDonald supported the demands of the other prisoner rioters for cigarettes, recreation, entertainment, better work, the removal of corporal punishment from the warden’s hands, and some kind of inmate committee to help manage the prison. He complained: “I do not sleep well. Overseas men generally crack up.” His ultimate hope was that there would be more oversight and transparency in the administration of justice: “The Guards and Police in this country take matters into their own hands.” His offence reports for his time in prison include 23 entries for talking, ‘fishing’ notes between inmates, refusal to work, smuggling contraband, making a nail file and a comb, smuggling cigarettes, and insolence to officers. He spent much of 1933 and 1934 in segregation because he was an agitator, and indeed was returned in August 1934 to the maximum security section for “disobedience” (in the wake of riots against the cancelling of baseball) until his release in January 1935. Harboway we know a little less about. He was much younger than McDonald, born of Ukrainian immigrant parents in Port Arthur (now Thunder Bay) and like McDonald, had been in prison a number of times: as a 14 year old in the Portage La Prairie Reformatory, and in the Port Arthur Jail, the Lakehead Industrial Farm and Manitoba Penitentiary as #3159. At Kingston, he first worked in the Machine Shop, where he made the acquaintance of a number of prisoners, notably Murray Kirkland, John O’Brien, and Alfred Garceau, who were plotting an escape in the summer of 1931. They attempted to bring several other prisoners, including Leo Mitchell and Jean Maurice into their confidence, but these men, worried about the potential violence, did not join and merely “dropped a line” to the Deputy Warden that “something was in the air.” Harboway on August 5, 1931, created a disturbance on purpose to be brought into the punishment cells so that he could safely and privately tell the officers about the escape plans, which were close to fruition - Deputy Warden Walsh felt that “Harboway had gotten cold feet” and was afraid that there would be mass bloodshed and death. Harboway revealed that knives had been hidden about the blacksmith shop in the prison and even revealed the likely day of the break. The next day the other five plotters were all put into solitary confinement, and O’Brien would spend the next year and a half locked away in the ‘hole’. Somehow, the fact that Harboway had been “the rat” leaked out to the general prisoner population and his name became a byword for treachery in the penitentiary. Ironically, Garceau and Kirkland both became active leaders in the October 1932 riot, having experienced a kind of ‘awakening’ to organizing and peaceful protest thanks to meeting several incarcerated Communists in 1932. 
As for Harboway, several inmates accused him of “degenerate acts” and “self-pleasure,” a clear attempt to weaponize homophobia and anti-masturbation ideas against him even though both practices were not uncommon in the prison. Thanks to threats from other prisoners, Harboway was moved to the Dome, and cleaned open areas away from other prisoners. He described having disagreements with other prisoners, especially a man named Schwartz...and worse, despite preventing a bloody escape, the guards ALSO were “down on him.” He was released July 1933, although like McDonald this would not be his last sentence to the penitentiary.]

[MF] The pill mill
As jack dorsey walked home from school just as every other day his converse all stars kicking up autumn leaves as he went by every house on the way. He gets to his walks inside “mom I’m home” a voice comes from the kitchen “ok honey dinner will be ready in a bit” “I’ll be up in the attic ok” “gotcha” jack takes off his backpack and hangs it on the closet door knob takes off his shoes and heads upstairs. Each step felt like a million years until he finally made it up to the attic home sweet home he thought. He threw himself on to the bed. And stared up at the ceiling, at a yellow water spot his eyes fixated on it. Just then he reaches underneath the matress and pulls out a pill bottle he takes a pill and lays back his eyes still fixated upon the rotting yellow water spot above his bed. Philip Dorsey was filling a prescription. As he did everyday for the past 15 years as a pharmacist at the local grocery store in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. He dropped the pills into the bottle and put the sticker that contains the name of the patient. He walked up to the counter to see a pale nervous little lady standing there biting her nails. “Miss Hendricks your prescription is ready” “oh thank god ya know this kid is driving me up the wall I don’t know what I’m gonna do with him every week he thinks he has a new disease cancer this and cancer that what I think he needs is a good kick in the ass” she puts her hand over her mouth in suprise. Philip hands the bag with the prescription in it over the counter “miss Hendricks please calm down and have a great rest of your day ok” “oh....ok” she walks away embarrassed as the eyes of the other women waiting in line watch her pass by. Philip made it home that day greeted his wife with a kiss on the lips and sat down at the dinner table ready to eat. “Mary where’s jack?” “He said he was going upstairs I think he fell asleep” “oh ok. And how about you pumpkin how was your day at school?” “It was good daddy I drew you a picture” “really for me” Martha walks over to a drawer in the kitchen and reaches in and gets a picture colored in crayon out of the drawer. “Wow look at that you are so talented! You even got my mustache down” Mary laughs from across the table. Jack is standing in front of a structure fire laughing with utter joy as it burns down in front of him. Jack wakes up drenched in sweat looking up at the water stain that seems to have gotten bigger on the ceiling. “Jack buddy you ok in there?” His father calls in “yeah dad I’m fine” “alright why don’t you come down and get something to eat before it gets cold” “alright I’ll be down in a couple minutes” he tucks the pill bottle back underneath the mattress. Later that night as Jake lies awake in bed he gets up sneaks downstairs puts his coat on and out the door he goes. He walks up to the pharmacy where his father works. Moves a dumpster over to the back window climbs on top and over and in he’s inside the pharmacy. He came prepared with a flashlight he shines the light through each of the medicine shelves looking for as he calls it “his vacation in a bottle” he finds the pills and puts them In his backpack and and climbs through the window and back onto the top of the dumpster. From the shadows he hears a voice call out a girls voice “hey get outta there!” “Shit” jack whispers under his breath he slowly sees a figure take shape and walk towards him “Liz Jesus Christ you scared the hell outta me” Liz walks towards him with a gleam in her eyes “whatcha got there” “my stuff” “stuff doesn’t really tell me much” “uppers or downers?” She asked him “downers” he replied “wanna get outta here I know an awesome spot where we could get High” “uh yeah sure” jack and Liz make it up to a hill overlooking the city the moon hanging above the city as if it’s nodding at it. Jack puts the pill in his mouth. “No wait I have a new way it’s way better than just poppin” Liz pulls a spoon a razor blade and matches from her coat pocket “all you have to do is put the needle in your arm and inject” jack was always scared of needles even as a little boy but he’s 17 now and it’s time to grow up he thinks. Jack nods Liz grinds up the pills with the razor blade and puts the fine white powder on the spoon and brings the lighter underneath it. It bubbles and writhes like an open wound she takes a syringe out of her coat pocket and sucks up the melted down pills the syringe is full she hands it over to jack. Jack sticks the needle into his arm and winces and then he releases the poison into his veins his eyes roll back in his head and he falls back staring up at the stars. Liz does the same thing she lays down next to him and holds his hand . They both seem so close but yet they’re so far away from each other. Jack is off thinking about the time he was flying a kite and it got away from him he was running through a sprawling field of poppy’s chasing his kite but instead of running he was floating floating after his kite. He woke up with sunlight blinding him where there once was a moon now was an inferno of sunlight. Jack got up in a panic and ran off to school he ran through the school doors darting down the hall he makes it to the classroom and looks from side to side to find there’s no one there he runs back out into the halls down to the principles office he finds mr Curney a middle aged balding man sitting at his desk reading over some paperwork “mr Dorsey” jack slumps into the chair “I’m so sorry for my lateness i overslept it’s been just crazy lately mr curney” “mr Dorsey it’s Saturday” “what?” “It’s Saturday now go on home” “oh.....ok” jack gets up from his chair and walks out of the office he walks over to the restroom and washes his face with cool water and looks at himself in the mirror he stares and stares as if pondering life itself “why Am I like this?” He asks himself he puts his hands over his eyes and runs them down his face he notices that he’s missing the ring he always wore on his right index finger. out of the corner of the mirror he sees Liz standing there “do you wanna talk?” She says he doesn’t respond and walks out of the bathroom down the hall back into the sunlight. Philip Dorsey walked into work that morning and as he stepped behind the counter he feels something jab underneath his shoe he lifts his foot and picks up a ring “jack” he whispers to himself he looks at the cabinet to find a couple bottles of pills were missing he picks up his suitcase in a hurry and rushes out of the pharmacy he gets into his car tires screeching as he pulls away. Jack is standing in the attic with a red gas can in his hand he scatters the gas around the whole attic with tears streaming down his face he throws the can and sits back into an old rocking chair he chops up some pills into a fine dust and pours it into the spoon and he lights a match underneath the spoon he tosses the match the attic is slowly going up in flames around him he injects and lays back in the rocking chair and stairs up at the yellow water stain on the ceiling with a faint smile on his face. By the time Philip pulled into the driveway the house was in ruin he stumbled out of his car and fell to the pavement sobbing. Later on the news vans pulled up the coroner came the ambulance came Liz was riding her bike down the street autumn leaves crunching and crackling underneath the wheels she stops her bike and she asks a little boy that was standing outside eating an ice cream cone “what happened?” “This kid killed himself took the house with him” “who was he?” “I don’t know I think they said his name was jack darsey or Dorsey something like that” “hm never heard of him” she rode on down the street the black smoke still billowing up into the clouds.

Florbalisti vstúpili do svetového šampionátu tesnou výhrou nad Nórskom
Českému tímu sa proti Nórsku podaril úvod, v tretej minúte otvoril skóre Jendrišák, keď nedokázala odvrátiť balónik hviezda Nórov Kronberg. Za 58 sekúnd zvýšil po kombinácii s Mikeš do odkrytej bránky Ondrušek. Nóri boli postupom času tiež nebezpeční a v 11. minúte zvýšil freestylové spoza bránky Olesen.
"Vedeli sme, že to robí, pripravovali sme sa na to. S tým, že tam do neho musí vletieť opačný bek, čo sa nestalo. Vedel som, že tam pôjde a dá to za vzdialenejšie tyčkou, bol som tam včas, ale urobil to dobre a to je potom ťažké. Nie je tam moc veľká šanca pre brankára.Možno tridsať percent, "povedal brankár Tomáš Kafka k Olesenově finte s loptičkou na hokejke.
dvojgólový náskok vrátil Čepková výberu dóza, ktorý sa presadil pri pravom mantineli a rýchlu strelou prekonal Rönnmarka.
V 19. minúte ale po Straeteově strele doklepol balónik za Kafkovho chrbát Glen Evensen. Za 23 sekúnd síce po Tokošově akcii zvýšil Suchánek, hneď za 15 sekúnd ale po štandardnej situácii prekonal českého gólmana Jannson.
V druhom dejstve sa brankostroj zastavil, šancí tiež ubudlo. Česi sa ubránili v oslabení pri Tokošově strele. Rönnmarka potom preveril nebezpečnú strelou dóza, ďalšie pokusy vyslali Tomášik a Ondrušek.
V 39. minúte podržal svoj tím Kafka proti zblúdenému Glenovi Evensen.Obyčajnou sekundu pred pauzou sa radoval český výber, keď Mikešová prihrávku zužitkoval pred bránkou Dóza.
Prvýkrát v zápase na trojgólový rozdiel upravil v 44. minúte po ideálnej prihrávke Podhráského Curney a najproduktívnejší hráč extraligy podobne ako dóza ozdobil gólom svoj premiérový štart na svetovom šampionáte.
Pri vylúčení Glena Evensen boli šance na oboch stranách a Nóri v 51. minúte po kombinácii Olesen s Kronberg znížili. Za 49 sekúnd po Ondrušková chybe dostal Nory na kontakt Jansson.
Upokojenie pre český tím priniesla na chvíľu 56. minúta, kedy zakončil akciu Sladkeho Tokoš, ale po Deutschová podkĺznutiu za 79 sekúnd opäť dostal Nory do hry Kronberg.V záverečnom tlaku súpera pochytal Kafka niekoľko šancí a tréner Cepek mohol osláviť sobotňajšej 39. narodeniny ziskom troch bodov.
"Tento darček som si prial, možno je lepšie, že sme vyhrali takto, než keby to bolo presvedčivé víťazstvo . Takto pôjdeme do zápasu so Švajčiarskom s nachystanú hlavou, som spokojný, "vyhlásil Cepek.
Švédi a Fíni si pripísali jasné výhry
Florbalisti Švédska zahájili cestu za obhajobou titulu na domácom majstrovstvách sveta výhrou nad Lotyšskom 11: 2. Štyrmi body za tri góly a jednu asistenciou k tomu prispel pred 7529 divákmi v hale Scandinavium útočník Kim Nilsson.V ďalšom zápase skupiny A porazili úradujúci vicemajster Fíni 9: 2 Nemecko.
O prekvapenie sa postarali v skupine D Austrálčania, ktorí zdolali Rusko 11: 9. Sedemnásty tím svetového rebríčka si tak vyšliapol na deviaty a veľkú zásluhu na tom mal aj brankár Vladimír Plocek, ktorý si pripísal 30 úspešných zákrokov. Vedľa neho sú v tíme aj ďalší českí rodáci - útočník Petr Pražan, tréner Daniel Dorňák a tímový manažér Michal Veselý. Austrálčania na minulom šampionáte chýbali, teraz sa dostali do hry o predkolo play-off.
