TEAM LISTINGS ACCORDING TO DRAFT ORDER

Fody's
Coach Chris Fody has done some off-season recruiting to negotiate a tryout for goalkeeper Shawn Hopper. Drafting in the number one position will give this team some flexibility to pick up another sniper.

Coach Fody went with Hopper as expected and also added proven sniper Jeff Whiteside.  A couple of picks will start on the injury-reserve list.  Craig Stefan is recovering from an undisclosed upper-body injury and Trevor Bradfield an undisclosed lower-body injury. Fody stayed stayed away from the rookies until he went with the surprising selection of aging enforcer Robbie Beaumont in the late rounds.

Re/Max
Coach Adam Parrott is still trying to figure out what went wrong last season as his team could not win a single game after Superbowl Sunday.

Coach Parrott decided to do a bit of a rebuild with the signing of rookies Zack Smith, Tyler Klemp and Chris Moody. Solid D-man Shawn Lisabeth rejoins the league and  journeyman Bob Evans gets another crack at "the show".

Martin's Auto Body
Craig Pitter has stepped up to fill the void left by the departure of TVT as a sponsor. Dynamic Paintware will now operate out of the 'B' Division. Coach Eric Lockey may be in the market for another goal scorer to get his team deeper into the playoffs. Pit will be all jacked-up with the new jerseys but may need half a season to get into game shape.

Under new ownership for the 3rd time in under 2 years, Coach Lockey knows he is under the microscope. The additions of rookies Cody Chute, Robbie Haines and Scott Driver will give this team some good offensive punch.

Agrospray
Matt Summers has a tough act to follow after finishing first and winning the title last season. He will be drafting in the last position and will have to make some tough decisions on his protected list. Goaltender Matt Fallowfield is returning despite rumours to the contrary so that is a big piece of the puzzle solved.

Coach Summers rewarded Adam Thomson with a protected spot after the great season he had last year.  The return of Jason Freeman to the league gives them some scoring to help make up for the loss of Whiteside. Rookies Dominic Lichtensteiger and Brad Smale will take some time to adjust but will be prove to be good acquisitions for this team.

 

Glass
Coach Wayne Hare will be drafting from his usual position and will have the opportunity to select a top-notch goaltender in Dave Moore.  The Glass desperately need a top-ten scorer to get them over the hump.

Coach Hare wasted no time in inking Dave Moore to a long-term contract and added speedster Brent Iler to his lineup. Shane Cassidy joins the team after a controversial trade with Dynamic.

Martin's
Coach Jammer McKibbin will be faced with challenge of replacing top gun Doug Falkins who is taking the year off. It will be tough to find a free-agent who can put up 31 points.  

The signing of unprotected free agents Blair Kersten and Mark Ryksen will add some speed to this team. Coach McKibbin hopes the aging Al Robinson still has what it takes. A late-night trade with Glass brings Curtis Wray back to the lineup.

Copper Mug
Coach Craig Hantz will have a good nucleus to protect and should have a very competitive team. The return of brother Tim will keep them solid in goal.

Coach Hantz snagged free agent Scott White who will prove to be an effective winger.

Dynamic Paintware
No more TVT - this team was always too good so we shipped em right outta the league. A sponsorship change results in Dynamic shifting to the 'B'. Coach Eric MacFadden will be tweaking the lineup after losing 3 straight in the finals last spring.

Coach MacFadden stole Steve Craig in the 8th and added years of experience with some veteran signings in the late rounds.
