Meet cornerback Joel Paasch. Originally from "small town" Howard City, MI, Paasch moved around a lot as a kid, but some how made his way back north. One of the rookies on the team, Joel has always enjoyed playing sports. He played as many sports as possible during school, eventually getting into MMA for about two years, before being able to step back on the field wearing a Hawks jersey. "Football is where my heart is" were Joel's exact words. His number one idol in life has always been his father. Joel, who is also one of the captains on the team, credits his Dad for the way he helped raise him as a kid, pushing him to be the best he could be and reaching his full potential, and teaching Joel the right morals to become the man he is today. Outside of football and work, Joel enjoys spending time with his daugher, going to the gym, and enjoying spending time with friends and family with a grill. When asked what his desire to join the Hawks was based on, Joel's response was simple: "For love of the game." Coach David Lange has nothing but good things to say about what Joel brings to this team. "Joel is fun to watch because he is a heavy hitter, and he is always ready to work. Regardless of whether its practice, a game, or a community event, his work ethic is second to none." Paasch and the Hawks dropped their last game to the Detroit Diesels, 48-0. Every fan in attendance for this game received a $5 gift card to Flo's Sports Bar and Ristorante! The team will be in action again on May 30th in Battle Creek when they take on the Coyotes. We hope you are able to make it out to the game!
