LET’S MEET – ASK ZEMERSSARDZE/LSPA

Season in the BHL:
The first season since 2008-2009

BHL titles or highest place in team history:
Champions – 4 (2001-2002, 2002-2003, 2003-2004, 2006-2007)

Placed in national championship last season:
Latvian championship – 2nd place

Team leaders and key squad changes:
Key players: goalkeeper Raitis Puriņš, Left back Roberts Rancāns, Center back Kristers Ozols, Pivot player Mārtiņš Stepuļenoks-Stukanovs and back court and wing player Kristiāns Ingus Jonuška. In off-season 2 good players joined our team – right back from Jūrmalas sports Ričards Jablonskis and left wing from SK Latgols Renārs Grebeņņikovs, both candidates of Latvian national team.

Team legionnaires:
No legionnaires

The average age of the squad:
26,9 years

The team’s season goals (coach Andris Ulāns):
This will be our first season back in BHL, most of our teams core and key players are still very young, so I think this season goal is to qualify for playoffs and most importantly gain experience and slowly regain our strength on the map of handball in Baltics.
