What are their chances in the CLC? 8AA? What do they have this year... Looks as though they have gotten off to a slow start

The Warriors are showing their inexperience. Last night in Apollo, they outshot them 2 to 1, but couldn't bury the puck. This is a hardworking group and I forsee them gaining momentum as the season goes on!

Brainerd definately threw the puck at the net, but quality scoring chances were 14-12 in favor of the Eagles, according to the official scoresheet.

Seems as though they don't have that dominating first line like they ahve had the last handful of year with the likes of: Shepherd, Frazer, Tamasy; Freeman, Holland, Swaboda; Baker, Larsen, Lahdesmaki; etc. etc. . . . From talking to one source it sounds like if Mimmack doesn't carry them it could be a long year for the Warriors.

The loss to Apollo really does not make it look like the Warriors have a shot in 8AA. Apollo is definatly not a top notch team

When you lose 5 of your top 6 forwards(Frazier, Shepherd, Monda, Engel, Tamasy), 4 of your top 5 D(Olson, Korte, Swanson, Impola), your starting goalie(Peterson) and you throw in the fact that they have a new coach, the slow start is to be expected.

However, the Junior class was a good group of bantams so by season's end expect them to be playing some competitive hockey.

Let's hope they turn it around soon then. Wouldn't want to see a perennial CLC power becoming a bottom feeder in the CLC, that wouldn't look right.

They will win a number of games in the CLC still, and should finish in the top 3-4. The CLC isn't a very strong conference at all.
