Rookie Forwards

Due to the large volume of rookies for Lethbridge and the abbriviated time for this PGS we have decided to only talk through ANC today. The ANC rookie forwards didnt get the most ice time tonight but they were not short on that either. That being said these guys really didnt make the most out of that time only putting together a modest 4 shots and 0 points. These guys need to be better especially against a team such as Lethbridge that has a large number of rookies in their class. The Armada will need to see more here from all of these guys if they want to see increased ice time for the remainder of the season.

Rookie Defensmen

Again Lethbridge comes into the season with a largely new defensive core and as such there is too much to analyze here. That being said, the goal by Wilson is one to remember for him.

Wang had a point tonight, hopefully these will continue to come for the offensively minded defenseman as he continues to develop his scoring touch. Outside of that assist Wang was on the ice for a sizeable 20 minutes and contributed 2 hits and 1 blocked shot. Overall a good performance for the young prospect. Michaud didnt do much outside of his single blocked shot. Michaud has been somewhat of a dissapointment for Anchorage and needs to fix his game a large amount if he wants to play at the next level.

Rookie Goalie Performance

Lethbridge does not have a rookie goalie (shocker I know) so this analysis will settle on the young Venables for ANC. Budgie as he is now being called had one of his best performances of the season in this game stopping 26 of 29. If this performace continues the managment staff in Alaska will be estatic with taking him in the fourth round and getting him as the thrid goalie taken off the board. Although he got the loss tonight, it was in no part his fault as the team infront of his could not find the back of the net, a story that continues to come up each time ANC plays.
