The Anchorage Armada were ok during the preseason, but definitely have room to improve. A lot of that rests on the shoulders of August Von Hecht, the rookie goalie. Stepping into the starting role so early is a vote of confidence for the German, but for the team to be successful, he will need to adapt quickly to the SMJHL and be a wall for the Armada. Offensively, the team looks to build around RW Lord Zomp. A strong skater and constant all around threat in the offensive zone, expect Zomp to put up a bunch of points this year. Feeding Zomp the puck will be center Luka Magic, whose puck handling, passing, and offensive awareness will allow him to dish out the assists all day long. Magic also has a mean shot, so expect him to pair those assists with plenty of goals as well. Defensively, Richard Dickbutt McFudderdudder II looks to lead the way. The Aussie is strong on both ends of the ice, and should be a good leader for rooks D Jobin and Sean Davies. With a lot of young talent it may be another season before the Armada are ready to compete for the cup, but they should be  competitive this season, and could surprise some teams.
