There are a ton of already covered league-wide storylines, so I will be focusing on the local market right here in New England. This season has been a story of transitions. We've had an awesome injection of youth into the lineup, and we have a handful of rookie players looking to begin to carve their names into the history books of the Wolfpack franchise. We have three S56 players and a S55 player making their debut this season. 

Alexander Oscarsson has made the swap back to defense as a 1022 TPE rookie defender, and projects to be a top pair defenseman to protect my rear end. It's been an honor seeing them develop into a dynamic SHL quality defense after transitioning from forward.  @Zema

Teylora Petrov is another rookie defender as the blue line went through quite the metamorphosis this previous season. Petrov is a high end earner from their class and takes great pride in the protecting the front of the net, something that is near and dear to this goalie's heart. Petrov will be a mainstay on the PK here in New England for a long time, I imagine. @Bayley

With great defense comes great offensive requirement, and that's where S56 right winger Alexis Vermette comes into the fray. The Quebeois has silky mitts and is a great puck distributor that will take some time to acclimate to the pace of play and skill of their opposing defensemen, but the sky is the limit here. @treant

One of the Wolfpack's top prospects from S56 graduated this season alongside the other three, and that's future stud two way center Calvin Hobbes. With the heart and competitive fire of a tiger, he's made an impact in his rookie season thus far. It may be early, but can we say *hall of famer*? @krazko


The storyline is growth and development for the , and if we can win a few more games it'd be pretty dang neat too.
