FIRST OF ALL WHAT IS A MILLRAT? Anyone growing up in Manchester, New Hampshire knows about the Millrats. The nefarious inhabitants of the Queen City's riverside old mill buildings. Today the old mill buildings are being transformed into beautifully renovated office space, retail stores, and pubs or restaurants. This transformation has paralleled Manchester's ascension as a city. In 2005, the city was named the 7th "Best Small City for Doing Business" by Inc. Magazine. Known for their extraordinary size and cunning, the Millrats still occupy the unrefurbished buildings, and the wilderness areas along the river. Their speed and sneaky methods parallel a fast paced, aggressive style of basketball that we employ. But the word has a second meaning; a Millrat was someone who worked extremely hard and long shifts in the mills. A tireless worker who put the needs of others above himself and sacrificed to provide for his family. In that sense our players are Millrats, or otherwise known as 'Gym Rats' - we recruit players who are willing to outwork the competition. By working hard on their games, their skills, and their conditioning - they are putting themselves in the best position to be successful.
