The Rhode Island Kingfish are at a disadvantage somewhat with bringing in local talent. Players from the New England area would likely prefer to stay closer to Boston. No problem for Rhode Island, except they have the Boston Rockhoppers to compete with. No matter, the Kingfish still brought in local talent, and their roster is mostly built off of that.
