<div align="center">The Platoon have a line that is one of the most international in the league. With three players from different countries, and different first languages, they will have to learn to communicate effectively before the season begins.
Jordan Hall
Hometown: London, Ontario, Canada
First Language: English

With the twenty-eighth pick in the third round, the West Kendall Platoon are proud to select Jordan Hall!
Jordan Hall is one of the most controversial forwards to come out of the NWJHL in a long time. He has all the talent in the world, and the Platoon hope he becomes the steal he can if he can channel his controversy into offense. Hall hails from the hockey hot-bed of South Western Ontario, but he didn't learn how to play the game effectively until his parents relocated to Calgary, Alberta where he started playing at a higher level of hockey. He honed his skills in hockey camps throughout the country, and then made his way to the NWJHL where he played for the Boston Battalion.
Realistic Projection: If Hall can stay out of the tabloids, and stay on the scoresheet, he should be come a top forward in the league. Hall has all the skills to make it, great skating, tremendous puck handling and a deadly shot. The one thing he needs to add is grit so he's not thrown around out there. Luckily for him, his linemates should be able to provide copious amounts of protection.
Chris McZehrl
Hometown: Wofen, Germany
First Language: German

With the eighteenth pick in the second round, the West Kendall Platoon are proud to select, Chris McZehrl!
Chris hails from the small town of Wolfen, Germany. His ability on the ice could see him become the biggest steal in the season eight SHL entry draft. His journey to the SHL is a unique one. Born to soccer players, McZehrl started playing soccer at an early age. When he reached his teens, the young soccer player decided to switch to basketball, and became an international phenom. The young McZehrl had another passion, hockey, and eventually that took over his passion of Basketball. He moved to LA to work on his skills, and he was noticed by NWJHL scouts, especially those in Vancouver.
Realistic Projection: In the juniors, McZehrl added some great secondary scoring, but he was more of a playmaker than a sniper. This should bode well for Hall who is a pure sniper. McZehrl uses his big body to open up space for other players, and should develop into a bonafide power-forward.
Eoghan O'Donnell
Hometown: Dublin, Ireland
First Language: Irish Gaelic

The West Kendall Platoon has signed gritty power-forward Eoghan O'Donnell
O'Donnell is one of the league's most colorful players, and one that generates a lot of media. He is a fifth year player, but is a bit more raw than the rest of the veterans. He left the league at the end of season five saying he was leaving the game of hockey. After some legal trouble, he found a new love for the game, and returned to the league. O'Donnell does not come from a traditional hockey background. His father was a top rugby player in Ireland, and his mother was a teacher. He stumbled upon the game of hockey when his cousin showed him how to play. Despite legal troubles, and trouble in his personal life, Eoghan O'Donnell hopes to make a big bang in his comeback.
Realistic Projection: In the off season, O'Donnell worked on his conditioning, and his offensive skills. He is a pure playmaker, with a lot of grit. He should open up space for some of the smaller forwards on the team. If all goes right, O'Donnell could be one of the best two way players in the league.
When playing hockey, communication is a must, but these three line-mates have been spending some bonding time together in hopes to overcome the language barrier. If they work hard together, they could be one of the best third lines in the league, and provide a lot of energy when this young team needs it the most.</div>
