The Anaheim Outlaws had a disappointing end to a season that began very strong.  Looking towards next year the Anaheim Outlaws feel we can be a strong cup contender.  The only player our LR is expecting to lose is James Leblond.  The team itself is very young and has a lot of room to grow and will get another early pick in the draft this year.  Rookie Leclerc had a standout season for the Outlaws and we had amazing performances by "Long" John Donair and if Hubert Andrews remains our top line center and doesn't receive the call up we will still have a powerful first line going into the next season.  Defensemen Michael Scotch had large expectations coming into this season after dominating scoring in the midget leagues in the northeastern US but in his rookie season he was surprisingly quiet offensively but his coaching staff is expecting hi to have an explosive sophomore year.  His biggest criticisms was that he wasn't very responsible in his own zone and wasn't the most physical player on the ice but both of this issues were addressed early and with that Michael Scotch can expect to be an asset on an Outlaws team that is expecting great things next year.  The entire locker room is eagerly waiting for the next SMJHL season to kick off.
