The SMJHL season is about to start??? My gosh I didn't realize that these first 30 games are for nothing . Taking a look at the Vancouver Whalers, they are 16-10-4 on the season so far. This places them solidly at 4th in the standings. However, taking a look at the goal differential, it seems the Whalers are in the middle of the pack. With that, we are looking to compete and potentially upset some higher teams. With that, our key contributors would definitely have to be (1) NoNo Jo who is a veteran presence on the team, leading the team as captain and first line center. Our next key contributor comes from the backend, but the way back end in (2) Masked Stanger. The defensive core is good, but needs another season so it's up to Masked Stanger to keep them into games. Lastly, the last key to success would be for (3) MattyJ (and Olafur Altason) to gel will with the new team and especially the young rookie Ville Sato-Maki.
