Nolan Sawchuk   - This is a great pick. Sawchuk is enjoying a super fine season, with 21 goals on 156 shots, which means a monstrous 13.82% shooting percentage. On top of being one of the best finishers in the league, Sawchuk is also 4th on his team in Hits with 51 on the season, which means he's not afraid to play physical.

Nickolas Klaus   - Sawchuk's team mate and Centre extraordinaire, Klaus paces the ENTIRE LEAGUE with 56 points (good for 1st) and 39 assists (good for 1st). He also already has fantastic chemistry with Sawchuk, which plays in my favour here. 

Jack Kennedy   - Kennedy leads all left wingers with 53, which also places him 2nd in the league. You can kind of see what i'm doing here. The top 3 point scorers in the SMJHL on one line? I'm basically printing money here. I could see these three going OFF together, and I really wish we could see it.


Sanyi Kocsis   - I kind of feel bad picking so many Knights players, but with this many fantastic players scoring, I'm getting the feeling it's their depth and goaltending letting them down. Sanyi paces all defensmen with 44 points and 36 assists. So now, my fictional starting lineup is made up of 3 high scoring forwards, and the best puck moving defensman in the SMJHL. How many goals do you think this team would score? I'm thinking 6 per game.

Tauras Karazija   - Holy fuck, I'm just starting to realise that I've picked from 2 teams. How the hell aren't they the top 2? Anyways, this pick is pretty simple. Tauras ranks 3rd in points by a defensman, behind Kocis and his teammate Barret McCarthy. The biggest difference between the two? Tauras is rocking a +11, which kind of shows that his team is playing better when he's on the ice.



Lee Marshall   - I have to put myself here, though I honestly wouldn't if I had the choice. I've had a fantastic season so far, with a 0.919 Sv% and a 2.01 GAA. My biggest hit this season is the fact that I've only appeared in 9 games due to the goalie situation in St. Louis (3 fantastic goalie, including the reigning champ of goalies). However, just for fun, I'm going to write about who I would put here

Tibuk Soonika   - I recently wrote an article talking about rookie goalies in the SMJHL, and I selected Soonika as the best rookie goalie this season. Since then, nothing has changed for me, though I may get bolder and list him as the BEST GOALIE right now. Through 21 appearances (18 starts), Soonika is still rocking a high save percentage (0.903) and a 2.53 GAA. No other goalie with stats better than Soonika (Lee Marshall   , Aleksandr Aleksandrov  , Justin Willis   ) have played nearly as many games, whereas Soonkia has basically split starting duties in his rookie year. 



I think this team would get along great. Nothing builds chemistry better than absolutely dominating the competition and winning cups. Too bad it's not real! (Though we're all probably better off this way)
