The suprise is that McGinley was cut on the last day.

So, did they bring the whole team to GR for scrimmages this weekend then?

WOW that was very suprising that McGinley got cut. Do you know what happened to the younger Phillippi, JV I assume?

I think that Peiper is a freshman that came from the Shattuck program

That's a good team. Possibly better than last years?

Who will be this year's Dolan and Sova? I would imagine Johnson will be in that mix.

I think Chris Casto will have a breakout year. He has a really smooth skating style and I look for him to make a big step forward after looking like a deer in headlights most of last year. He's a friend of the family, so I may be biased...

You are right he will still have more of that "deer in the headlight" look to him. His year won't be so much breakout more of an exposure to how average he really is.

Alex Kelly and JJ are #1 and #2 and will log most of the ice time in place of Dolan and Sova.

Hill-Murray should have a good year, though I personally think that they will be their strongest over the next 2 years. All the kids are extremely talented and they had to cut through a huge number of other talented kids to get to final roster. Casto will be fine and was named Hill's most improved player last season. I heard he logged more hours at FHIT than any other FHIT member this past summer.

Has The JV Team been posted ? Just curious to what Bantam A teams will take the biggest hits.

Well i believe that Jordan Johnson will not be a real big assest to the defense... he played awful in grand rapids. The two big d that will be stepping up this year will be Casto and the underclassman Controneo. Kelly is most likely the third d. Casto should have a break out season. With young goal tendign the defenseman will really have to step up

I guarantee you Kelly will be carrying the load for this team.

highly doubtful kelly will be taking the load onto his shoulders seeing he is out for the first 3 weeks . So look to see casto taking the defense under his wing

Basil sounds like a girls name are you sure that it is basil sampair

Yes it is Basil. I remember a Basil McRae who was a tough guy in the NHL, so Basil is not a girl's name.

Don't say that to Basil McRae!
Look it up on you tube.

Does Kohls have a younger brother who plays for Hill?

i heard the goaltenders were very weak in rapids last weekend and i also heard that will be there weak spot this year..dont think they will a state contender this year
