STORM
This season record: 2010 opener
Last season record: 40-17-1-2 83 points (2nd North)
Key returnees: Tanner Fritz F, Dan Correale F, Darren Kramer F, Caylen Walls D
Newcomers: Jordan Forfar F, John Girman F, Ben Woodley D
Key Notes: The Storm return only 10 players from last year's squad that finished 2nd overall in the AJHL. Finding offence to replace the 121 lost with the graduation of Zahn Raubenheimer, Dennis Rix and Travis Dunstall will be key. Also, the club still has four goalies in camp battling for two spots. First few games could still feel a bit like camp until they decide on their two netminders.
CRUSADERS
This season record: 2010 opener
Last season record: 33-17-2-7 75 points (4th North)
Key returnees: Patrick Terriss G, Josh Lee D, Chris Kallal F, Michael Small F
Newcomers: Zach Ovics, Dan Starosta, J.C. Heck
Key Notes: Terriss will be counted on to provide the type of netminding the Crusaders got over the past two seasons from graduated veteran Matt Esposito. Also, the offensive spotlight will now shift to Kallal and Small, after AJHL MVP and Canadian Junior Hockey League player of the year Cody Kunyk moved on to U-S College.
"Terriss again getting the crying towel out."... haha - priceless!
