One more season, one more first round exit for the Platoon. However, the champagne taste of victory hangs on the tongues of those still here. The Platoon will make it back and win the title once again, with three main reasons:

1. Excellent coaching and player personnel work by JR. He’s drafted well, traded well, and worked free agency like a pro. We have a lot of talent on this squad and everyone has a harmonious relationship. I also don’t know if anyone that could make better likes for us.

2. Two of those players are Ludwig Koch Schröder and Sven Brokstad. The current top pair for the Platoon. Schröder brings his years of experience and deft touch on the stick, scoring goals left and right. Brokstad, getting up there in years, brings his hard nosed defensive mindset and set-up ability. When these two are on the ice, opponents don’t score and the Platoon hit the back of the net.

3. The insane talent on the top lines cannot be understated. Alex Light, Dani Forsberg, Leafer Reilly, Trevor Wilson, John Langabeer, and Dionýz Vyskoč are all killers and the true strength of this squad.
