1. Banana Split

11. For Cade de Vries, this season was a welcome uptick of season capabilities for him. His abilities did increase over the season, leavening the slap shot specialist with 17 Shot Power, making him tied for most shot power in the SJMHL (tied alongside his line mate in NBB). He also increased his defensive read up by one, his bravery up by 2, and his balance up by 1. Why you may ask? Well, to hit people more efficiently and more bone crushingly (is that a word?). de Vries had 124 bone crushing hits this year (up from 123). He most markedly though increased his blocked shots from 96 to 110. Now, on the offensive side he was a top 10 point producer for defensemen, tallying up 15 goals and 34 assists on the year, increasing from 10 goals and 25 assists from last year. 49 points total was good for 5th best point generating defenseman in the SJMHL this year. Next year, he hopes he can keep up the pressure he puts on defenders and be an excellent 2 way defenseman that he has been his entire career, and maybe even earn some awards for next years performance. We won’t know though until de Vries gets back out on the ice. (211 Words) +4

9. I believe Toronto will be the next to win the cup. Why? Well, it’s very simple. It’s because Cade de Vries is coming up to the north stars lineup next year, and he can make an impact for being their lone s76 draftee. I also love this team and think that they can go all the way any time we want, and this team will be a force for years to come (73 words) +1
