The Yukon Mamalutes made a great run to the semifinals last season and this year are looking to get even closer. They reloaded in the draft with a large amount of wingers including Squidwardo Tentacles, Fred Bread and Langston Hardison-Laurent. With quite a few new players, Yukon will look to capitalize on the great base built up on their veteran players.

One of the obvious keys to success on this roster lies with the returning Theodore Svatos, the SMJHL's top goal scorer last season. Svatos was named captain this year and we will see how he meshes with a new line. Coming off a season with a league leading 346 shot season, he will likely have plenty of opportunities to expand on last year's success as long as his linemates can help on the defensive side. New Alternate Captain Bobby Tkachucky will need to lead Yukon's second line, and continue to work in odd-man situations. Finally, Jordan Tanner, the assist leader on Yukon last year, will need to continue his excellence going into the next season.
