The Thunderbolts have more PGF National Championships than any other program, passing the Beverly Bandits this year. Shea sponsors the entire cost of his 18’s while Conroy pays for the coaches of most his teams.
Thunderbolts have started to franchise but I don’t believe it’s Shea or Rocky doing the franchising or involved in anyway. Both programs have had more than their share of success doing things differently. Nice article on Thunderbolts.
