Being one of the new guys on campus, your main area of focus is just working hard to fit in the locker room and also trying to add to the teams performance on the ice. The off-season was really good for our team and we definitely used the pre-season to get acclimated with each other before the games count. We are definitely optimistic for this coming season. There are a couple players that are going to lead us to where we want to be.

Mercedes Baylé is a top line winger and going to be relied on to create offense for the Elk. They are going to have a few different weapons to help them and with their passing skills, we could see big point production from Baylé this season.

Willow Soderberg-Snooks is the number 1 defenceman for Regina and will carry the load on the backend. Willow will be tasked with stifling the opponent's top line while also moving the puck out of the zone and onto the sticks of the forwards. A lot of pressure, but Willow has trained for this and has shown to be more than capable of leading this defensive core.

Rowan O'Beirne is your quintessential number 1 centre on a contending team. Rowan had a fantastic pre-season and looks poised to dominate on the ice this season. Forming a strong 1-2 punch with Baylé, Rowan is ready to lead this team.
