We are just about 10 games into the SMJHL Regular Season and the Newfoundland Berserkers are are sitting at second place in the East division with a record of 6-2-1. The team is looking phenomenal so far but if they want to keep this pace they are going to need the strong performers to keep it up. Here are the top three players who will lead Newfoundland in their post-season push.

Ryuuji Minamino - Newfoundland's leading scorer has been the reason that the offense has been lights out so far. Minamino is leading the team with 6 goals so far this season and on this pace so far, it's hard to believe he won't keep it up. With over 30 shots this season and a 18.25 shooting percentage, expect the puck to keep finding the back of the net.

Jukka Timonen - Juke is definitely Newfoundland's top defender. Dominating at both ends of the ice with three goals, six points and a whopping +8, he will be expected to continue to lead the way for the rest of the season. Newfoundland's new defenders are struggling with the pairing of Jack Klompus and PBJ Souppan being a -8/-9 pairing, maybe Juke will be able to guide the future core pairing.

Cale Amundsen - Possibly the biggest surprise of the season is the dominate performance in the crease that they are seeing. Cale is tied for a league leading two shutouts and constantly puts on strong performances. He has a game rating average of 75 and is someone who can be trusted to get the Berserkers out of some tough spots.
