After a full year of participating in the CEFL, the goal of the Zagreb Thunder remains the same -- get a win. Perhaps even a more difficult task this year, as they’ve been placed in the group of death in the league’s realignment for next year, meaning a win within the group will be hard to achieve, and their two inter-conference games against the Cowboys and the Silverhawks will be their biggest games of the season.

One of CEFL’s best players the past three years might soon not be a CEFL player anymore. Either way, Čaba Juhas, a long time quarterback of the Novi Sad Dukes, has left the team at the end of the 2008 season and will play for a different one next year, maybe in the CEFL, but maybe not.
