Head Coach: Borri Bonebreaker

Situated near a cool spring in the World’s Edge Mountains, north of Karak-Kadrin, the small Dwarven settlement of Karak-Grizdal is well known for its famous Grizdal Beers. And rightfully so.
The Grizdal Brewery is the main purveyor of beers and lagers to the court of King Ungrim Ironfist of Karak-Kadrin. Grizdal beers are also served at the Karak-Kadrin Slayer Shrine. Many a Slayer swears that drinking a barrel of Grizdal the night before a battle or fight made him stronger and helped him survive. Hearing these claims, Borri Bonebreaker, one of the breweries older employees came up with a new way to promote the sales of Grizdal in the empire. A Grizdal sponsored Bloodbowl Team would show the (Old) World the power of Grizdal.

The idea was liked and Borri Bonebreaker was appointed as the Head Coach of the new Karak-Grizdal Grizzlies Bloodbowl team. The first step into forming the team was finding enough players. These were attracted from the local pubs and Bloodbowl teams, by offering All-The-Grizdal-You-Can-Drink contracts. A full team of Dwarfs was soon found. Some of them even were talented or experienced!

The next step was to go out and hit some opponents. Borri entered the team into the first nearby tournament that he could find. The results were not good, but encouraging and educational. The main lesson was that though Grizdal makes you stronger, being drunk during a game is not good. Therefore the Grizzlies were no longer allowed to drink Grizdal the morning before or during a match. The next tournament went even worse, so beer during a match was allowed again. A few more small tournaments were played but none of them was a success.

The Grizdal Breweries, not really happy with the Grizzlies’ results, decided to shut down the project, but Borri had one ace up his sleeve. The 2504 Bloodbowl was coming up. Good results at the Bloodbowl would bring Grizdal to the attention of the whole world. A fiery speech got Borri and his Grizzlies one more chance to prove their worth.

The Grizzlies started training for their last chance to save their contracts with renewed vigour. Borri even read a book on Bloodbowl tactics. Now the Bloodbowl is here. The Grizzlies will fight to keep their contracts!

Team Honours: Spike (2503) Most boozed-up team of the year.

That players and fans of several Bretonnian Bloodbowl teams claim that they have witnessed the Grizzlies come third at a large Bloodbowl tournament held in Gisoreux. They described the team as a gang of smelly, drunken Dwarfs who pounded everybody and everything into the dirt on their way to near-victory.
As one horrified Wood-Elf remembers: “Those Dwarfs were dangerous! Their stench was foul and they heaved all over the field. I saw Fleetfoot go down in a puddle of vomit. One of them even puked on my tights! The stains are still in it!”
The Grizzlies themselves claim to have never been at the event. Coach Borri: “I sure can’t remember having been there, and neither can anybody else in the team. It must have been some other Dwarfs who looked and smelled just like us.”
