Eric Morrett’s Capital District Challenge League is unique, fun, safe and extremely successful.
For starters, the CDCL, which is hosted by East Greenbush Bowling Center every Tuesday night, is not just a league. It’s also a mini-tournament on different oil patterns every week. It’s loaded with various ways of earning extra cash. Many of the adults and juniors who test their games in the CDCL end up performing well in other major tournaments contested on demanding lane conditions.

Arguably the most successful bowler in Capital Region history, smooth-rolling Brian LeClair is embarking on the longest road trip of his career in pursuit of more victories and, hopefully, another major honor.
LeClair, a 56-year-old Delmar resident with an extraordinary resume of both amateur and pro accolades, runs two Revolutions Pro Shops in this area one at Del Lanes during the day and one in the evenings at Boulevard Bowl. That’s his regular job, and he does it quite well with help from his two sons, Connor and Taylor.

Although 41-year-old Gabe Criscuolo Jr. only became serious about the sport of bowling roughly seven years ago, his desire to excel put him on a fast track to success. Don’t be surprised if he pops up in a bowling center near you. This guy loves to roll the rock.
Now living in Schenectady, Criscuolo, and his wife Elizabeth, the Senior Pastor at Nazarene Church, are both originally from Connecticut. They only dabbled in tenpins until fairly recently. Yet both of them have become passionate about the game and the many friends they meet at the lanes.
