November 23, 2005 - The Green Bay Blizzard has announced the addition
of 13-year Arena Football veteran Mark Stoute as the team's new
Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator.

Stoute, whose impressive resume includes time spent with 8 different
AFL teams, is rejoining Blizzard Head Coach Bob Landsee for the third
time. They had previously coached in the AFL together with the
Toronto Phantoms (2002) and Indiana Firebirds (2004). That
relationship was paramount in Stoute's decision to join the Blizzard,
as was the opportunity to work with team President Brian Noble.

"When Coach Landsee called and offered me the position, it was an
offer I couldn't refuse," said Stoute. "What's been happening in
Green Bay over the last year or so is really exciting. What [Landsee
and Noble] have done up there is lay the groundwork for a successful
future. I'm really looking forward to helping the franchise continue
its winning ways."

The experience that Landsee and Noble have in professional football
also played a role. "Both Landsee and Noble have played in the NFL,
and they've both been Arena Football Head Coaches," he said. "To have
that kind of experience and leadership in an organization is
invaluable."
