…or Victoria again with McKamey and Ludovic Perreault, although both probably need a couple of years yet.

I’m not selling any McKamey stock quite yet. He had a higher PPG than Caleb Malhotra in the BCHL a year ago while being a draft class younger. I could see McKamey rising back into a potential first round pick with a good year. The talent is definitely there.

Klimpke and Williams both play for Saskatoon and will be on campus next year. Both should be pretty good college players.

Ah yes, forgot we already had our pair from the same team lined up!

He was much more noticeable down the stretch.  Hopefully he takes that confidence going forward.

I really like Klimpke, he’s going to have a huge year next year.

That's pretty much a wrap on next season's roster, aside from adding a third goalie!
Just a super deep team.  Looking at this list, I honestly can't tell you which 3F and 2D will be sitting to start the season.  Other years, you had guys like Andrew, Engel, etc that you could pencil in for being in the stands.  None of that this year.

Forwards...scoring by committee.  This team will win a lot of 3rd/4th line matchups just due to their depth...even more than this past season IMO.
Defense...super skilled & young.  Really excited to see Verhoeff progress and see what Carels & MacK bring to the ice.
Goalies...now that's a skilled goalie tandem!

Forwards (15 of 15):
SR - Magnussen, Malinoski, Menghini
