Despite his young age, Eric has both leadership and experience that will definitely help our club. A very solid defender, he can also provide some offense for us on occasion.

We did get a look at a lot of young players, and their experience in these exhibition games will be invaluable as the season goes on,

We are very pleased to add another big strong defenseman that will bring leadership and experience to our team. Chad played 79 games last season making him a reliable horse for the upcoming year.

Eddie will start on the outside and brings a lot of experience and leadership. He is quick, skilled and knows the game. Doug will start up front and he sees the field well and distributes the ball. He is experienced and continues to improve, but I want him to shoot the ball more.

We went as he went last year offensively. We will rely on his leadership and experience in the offensive end to get everybody going.

That experience from my sophomore season will definitely help. When I got up there my sophomore year I realized it was a good goal just to get there. Now I want something more. I want to place and get a medal, that's my goal.
