The third edition of the Montreal Premier Water Polo League Dollard des Ormeaux Devils kicks off this Friday night at the Dollard Aquatic Centre as rival CAMO comes to town. Five teams, including the Dollard Devils, have entered the league, which features many of the finest senior men’s players in the province and country. The Devils boast several current senior, junior and youth national team members, along with standout club stars, all locally developed talent. “We can promise fans who come out to watch entertainment value,” said the Devils’ Mike Gordon. “It should certainly be an exciting yet chippy affair.”

One notable absentee from the Devils’ lineup will be Nathaniel Miller, a Dollard club product who has gone on to compete at the national level. He recently signed a professional contract with Budva in the Montenegran National League. Budva is one of the top club teams in the world.
