The USL AGM runs Thursday, December 13 through Sunday, December 16.

The Ocean City Nor'easters have been nominated for the Progress Award. This award is given to the organization that has seen the best improvements on and off the field. Rookie Head Coach Tim Oswald was nominated for Coach of the Year for our on-field activities and now the USL has recognized the Nor'easters off-field work too. General Manager Neil Holloway and Club President Giancarlo Granese are thrilled with the nomination. Granese told us "It is wonderful to have our season acknowledged by the league but we cannot stop here, opponents beware, we will be bigger and better for the 2013 season"
