Coming into this I want to highlight one player at each key position (C, W, D) to highlight. These are the three players that I personally believe will have the biggest impact for the Armada this season, and if these three players are all firing on all cylinders during a game I believe that we should win those matches more often that not.

Mitchell van der Heijden - Center: Mitchell van der Heijden (MvdH) is the offensive driver of the Armada's top forward line. During the preseason MvdH had multiple games wherein he scored two goals or more, and was always showing up in the play by play and the box score. MvdH is a big fish in a small pond, and he should be showing up on the stat sheet game after game for the Armada this season. He is the kind of guy who can steal a game for the team and can make highlight reel plays to drive the team to victory night after night. 

Stan Hanson - Winger: Stan is an old bull for the Armada. He is a big, physical winger and his ability to go into the corners and against the boards and win puck battles will be invaluable for Anchorage. Stan is the type of player than can turn the tides of a game by laying one big hit or getting a hold of a puck at the perfect time to make a play. Along with MvdH Stan is probably the most potent forward threat that the Armada have, and he will be a problem for all teams, regardless of their quality, in this coming season.

Ulrik Bergstrom - Defense: Bergstrom is an impact player on both ends of the ice. He is an adept passer and has great vision, especially for a defenseman. On the defense he can block shots and his zone play keeps opposing players out of position and unable to get off good shots. Bergstrom's two-hundred foot game is going to be hard for opposing teams to keep up with, and Ulrik will have many games this season where he robs a great chance coming back towards his net to absolute sap the life out of the opposing team.
