I'm Aaron Freakin Rome. The toughest, meanest, hardest working defenseman in the SMJHL. As a guy who takes care of his own end first, I want to play with guys who can compliment my game and be at the right places at the right time when I flip pucks off the boards, or make a nice first pass out of the zone. 

RW: Vladislav Konstantin (KEL) - Now this guy is a stud. Konstantin is currently leading the SMJHL with 20 goals in 30 games played. He is also 2nd overall in the league in points with 38. This guy has incredible hockey sense and awareness in the offensive zone and knows where to be when finding open space to get shots off and putting the puck in the net. He's also got a solid defensive game and can hold his own quite nicely in his own end.

RW: Boris Denisovich (KEL) - Boris Denisovich is another guy that I would be incredibly lucky to have on my team. He is currently ranked 4th overall in the league with 16 goals scored but leads the league in points with 41. He has an incredible hockey IQ and is considered to be more of a playmaker rather than a goal scorer. He always makes smart plays under pressure and is pretty shifty when moving around the ice which makes it difficult for dmen like me to smash him against the boards.  

C: Oliver Kovacs (HAL) - Kovacs is a gem. He is currently ranked 5th overall in the league in goals with 15, just one behind Denisovich. He's also ranked 4th overall in the SMJHL for points with 36. Kovacs has a little bit more feistiness to his game and is not afraid to get his hands dirty. He plays a hard game at both ends of the ice and is not afraid to take the puck to the net to score the dirty goals. 

D: Scott Niedermeyer Jr (STL) - This kid is special. He currently has 6 goals and 20 points in 30 games and is ranked 16 amongst dmen in the SMJHL in points. He's an elite skater for a big man and always makes a great first pass out of the defensive zone. He's got great skill and vision and is always positionally sound in his own end. He truly is a diamond in the rough and could very well go on to become one of the best dmen to ever come out of the SMJHL. 

G: Mark McFleury (KEL) - McFleury is a star in the making. He currently has 3.33 GAA, with a 0.887 save percentage and is tied for 2nd in the SMJHL in shutouts with 2. He has decent stats for a rookie goaltender on an average team and is one of the main reasons why his team is having success in the standings. The kid has a bright future ahead.
