Strengths:
The team has a lot of depth and has a number of talented forwards, defensemen, and goaltenders that will allow us to rely on different players from night to night. There are defensemen who can skate with the puck to help us transition out of our zone and a number of forwards who can put the puck in the net, and if the team has a breakdown, there are three goalies who can make the save.
Question marks:
There are a number of players playing Varsity for the first time this year or second year so experience could be a question for us compared to other teams in the league.
Outlook:
Hope to be better than last year with the experience gained last year and finish in the top 6 of the Suburban League to make the league playoffs and compete for a league championship and then a Flyers Cup.
