Herman Ståhl, starting goalie for the St. Louis Scarecrows was among the players in the league to not make the playoffs. But the work still continues. Specifically, time is being put into making sure he is ready for the World Junior Championsship where he will be representing Team Rhine. The goal there is obvious. Medals.

Most of the work is being put into ensuring that his play on the puck is better ahead of next season. He also wants to really improve his overall saving ability so he can stand on his head and bring in some Ws when it's necessary.

The team overall did not go for vacation immediately after the season. A week off, and then straight into off-season training to make sure they user their time to improve on and off the ice. As for the team overall, a tough next season awaits. But that is a challenge Herman is ready to face.
