While the Newfoundland Berserkers still on top of the Simulation Major Junior Hockey League’s Eastern Conference, the Berserkers are not the same juggernaut that they were last season. This decline is very justifiable, as many of their top players were called up to play under the large spotlights of the crown jewel of sim sports: The Simulation Hockey League. As of right now, the Berserkers have a great group of passionate rookies that have come in to fill in the newfound holes in the Newfoundland lineup, and the veterans are still around to lead by example. However, the Berserkers will require that their rookies can grow quickly enough to become juggernauts at their position. Otherwise, they won’t be able to repeat the success that they had in their Four Star Cup winning season. Additionally, Vaseline Podcalzone has to step up even more for his team, otherwise he may find himself playing fourth line minutes once again. He’s made the right strides in improvement, but a big sophomore season will be much needed in helping Newfoundland defend the cup.
