Retirements & Departures
Unless otherwise noted, the following players retired at the conclusion of the season on August 27, 2011:
 * Ross Stewart (VolNation Volunteers) fullback, released on May 7, 2011 at age 36 years. An original VolNation Volunteer player, during the course of 11 seasons, Stewart's 178 matches places him 4th in the VolNation all-time records. He was also known as a defensive point-getter as he collected 24 points over his 10 years of play (6 goals and 18 assists). Throughout his career, he was a fixture on the X11 Teams, getting 50 nods - and even pulled off a captaincy, which is remarkable considering the quality of defenders in Liga Mundo. His best season is widely considered to be Season 6 in which he was a major contributor to the Mighty Vols winning both the Copa Del Mar and Copa Legada - the only season in which the same club took both cup tournaments.
 * Matthias Rieger (Transvaal Springboks) midfielder, released on May 20, 2011 at age 35 years. joined the Transvaal Springboks in the latter half of Season 3 and led the Primera Liga for most assists (7) the following season.

He finished his career in fourth-place for career games played, fourth in points, fifth in goals, and second in assists for the Springboks. At the time of his retirement, he led the club in career X11 selections.

An original Volunteer, he played in 143 matches during his lengthy career which spanned 11 seasons. He finished 9th in all-time career matches played. While not known as a point producer, only collecting 8 points in 11 seasons, Frazier left his mark as a hard worker who played clean, only picking up 6 yellow cards in 11 seasons. His hard play was often credited as the reason the Mighty Vols collected so many championships in the early seasons.
 * Paul Kells (Pansy Prussians) midfielder, departed Liga Mundo on transfer June 11, 2011 at age 32. A coolminded sharpshooter, Kells played 7 seasons for the Dun Carrig Bohs and Pansy Prussians which took in 106 career matches, 28 goals, and 53 points. His best campaigns were Season 6 and Season 7; he finished 3rd for assists in the Segunda Liga in Season 7. Kells played his played 100th match for Dun Carrig Bohs on January 27, 2011.
