Inaugural CISL All-Star Game

The first annual CISL All-Star Game was played on Saturday, February 11th. The format for the inaugural game was all players born in the 1960s and 1970s against players born in the 1980s and 1990s. Zvone Laus turned in a four-goal performance and was the MVP of the game as the 80s team went on to down a depleted "oldies" squad 9-8.

General Manager of the 1960-70s team was Ivan Rados. Best known for his establishment of the NK Tomislavgrad squad, he's proven to be a successful GM threw his many championship runs in the Oakville Indoor Premier League. And true to form, he assembled a veteran-laden roster in hopes of out-thinking his opponents to victory. Holivud Hrvat keeper John Pasalic, one of the two players born in the sixties, captained the team.

The 1980-90s manager was Mijo Rados, brother of 60-70s GM Ivan. He has proved to be a very successful GM in video games, such as FIFA 04, 05 and 06, but in real life he has struggled to get his Tvrdi Kamen team into the middle of the CISL table. His team was captained by league-leading goal-scorer J.J. Grubisic.
