2017 Arizona Hawks Exemption Request for Eric West

AZ Hawks effectively reestablished as a club in June 2017, were able to field a full squad for a run with Los Angeles and Orange County in LA on June 24, and again in Denver to make a decent showing at Western Regionals. Getting our club assembled late (and summer heat in Phoenix when no one wants to play here) meant we were very limited for league game options, and San Diego was the only team that could fit us on their schedule for a game there a couple weeks ago. In all, our club, which is still trying to grow itself, had 3 opportunities for league games, along with our Metro scrimmage schedule this fall to get points. As a result, we have 8 guys that due to a combination of injury, work or joining the club more recently will need exemptions to play at Nationals in San Diego, and, as it stands, we will need them all to bring a full squad. Eric had personal commitments made prior to the team reestablishing in June 2017 that prevented him participating in LA/OC and Western Regionals. He has participated in every Hawks event since, but will need exemption for Nationals.
