The West Kendall Platoon finished the regular season in 2nd place in the East. This was well within our predictions although we had a rough end to the season where we thought we might slip up. Par for the course also means that we’re expecting to push really hard for a repeat Challenge Cup win. So, what made the difference in the season to make it back to the playoffs? For one, the chemistry between new acquisition Dani Forsberg and team captain Alex Light has been a boon for the team as they outproduced the rest of the roster. Trevor Wilson being himself put up a great season as is now expected of him. More importantly, the team was able to cope with the departure of Finn Kruger last off-season rather well, as many expected the Platoon’s defense to be more porous. The trade deadline acquisition of Noctis Caelum has reinforced the team on the blue line. Overall, the team is poised for a serious cup run but as they say, the playoffs are an entirely new season.
