SeasonTeamAndrew Lee Is Hired As the New GM for the Chicago Untouchables

The Chicago Untouchables have announced their hiring of new General Manager Andrew J. Lee for the 2022 NVA Season.

Lee comes into this role with prior experience in the NVA, having worked alongside Team Freedom Owner Justin Beaumont and the boys from New Jersey since their introduction as a professional team in the NVA back in 2019. He has also managed his last team, the ‘Catalina Wine Mixers’ (@catalinawinemixers), which has competed in the USAV AA competition since 2017. Some notable NVA athletes have previously played with this squad, including Matt Buffum (MB) and Dante McCoy (OH/Opp).

The addition of Lee comes after previous GM, Mitch Wiskerchin, has decided to step back from this position to spend more time with his wife and family. There is still potential for Wiskerchin to remain on the roster as a setter this season. He proved to be an essential asset to the team in that role, as he quarterbacked the Untouchables squad, almost pulling off the upset in a five-set thriller against Southern Exposure during the NVA Quarterfinals last season.

Lee will have his work cut out for him this season as he works to get the roster filled before the upcoming opening event as the Untouchables saw five of their East Coast players, including Matt Buffum, decide to join Team Freedom in 2022. Andrew is confident he can get the job done as he plans to bring in some recruits from his home state of PA. In addition to that, the team will hold tryouts again at the end of this month. The Untouchables still have a solid group of returners, including Paul Bilanzic, Will Ragland, Moises Lopez, Eddie Keesecker, JJ Melendez, and Nick Ramos. They are all eager to tap into more of the raw volleyball talent that Chicago offers.

“I’m excited to come into next season with a new team! It’s my goal to develop the chemistry between all the players that’s different from all the other teams in the league,” shared Lee. Be sure to give Andrew Lee (@drewwwjlee) and the Chicago Untouchables (@chicago_untouchables) a follow on Instagram to stay up to date with the team and be first to hear when tryout dates are confirmed.

“Volley On With the NVA!”
