The Colorado Raptors are coming into season 78 with a good mix of developing and experienced players, hoping to use a strong offense to overpower what may end up being a weaker defense.

The Raptors have two fully capped out defensemen with Cadmael Ixazaluoh and Bojan Miovski, who will be key to anchoring the blue line in Colorado, as the team doesn't have any active defensemen besides those two. Look for the pair to play a good amount of minutes.

Left Winger Nathangus McExplosion is another player that will be crucial to the teams success. After being announced as the team captain, the fourth year player will be looking to improve upon an 84 point season.

Kral King is looking to avoid a sophomore slump as he is coming off from an impressive rookie season. The team has shown a lot of faith in the youngster, even assigning him as assistant captain. Colorado fans should be looking forward to the improvements he'll show this season!

I do not have much experience to pull from to accurately judge how things are going, but I believe Kelowna is in a strong position for the season, having a high overall average TPE and scoring third overall in the standings for the preseason. As for the individual players, I believe that many of the veterans will be the lynchpins for the team. Jennifer Huh and Pohler Beargeron stand out as the teams highest point members from the preseason with ten points each, with Blade Hunter and Carter Stankoven following closely behind at 8 points each. The team's offensive players are going to be the main focus, as Chuck Chunky, a strong defensemen with a lot of shots blocked, is the only defensemen with 350 or more TPE. Chuck will have a lot on his plate with training the new defensemen to be the best that they can be. Jauhnne Hawky and Scott Justice, despite their rookie status have also been putting in some work on the third line.

Thunder Bay is, admittedly, in the downswing of the typical Juniors cycle. This means that it's all about developing on the younger players and ensuring that they get up to speed at the true nature of the J. Notable rookies that will be hopefully key include Teddy Bloos, Chaos Giraffe, Puddles O'Duckling, and Tip Toasty.

Teddy Bloos is expected to take on a penalty killing role with the team. He's a defensively minded centre who does well to win face-offs. His offensive attributes are not too shabby, but a key takeaway is that the role he will play is mainly one focused on defense first.

Chaos Giraffe and Puddles O'Duckling are both expected to be big bruising power forwards. Both are absolute giants at well over 6 feet each. The next step, of course, is to translate those skills into effectiveness in that power forward role.

Last but not least, Tip Toasty will play a similar role to Teddy Bloos as a two way guy. While not as defensively obligated, Toasty is expected to play effectively both up and down the ice.

With only 1 loss in the preseason the Anchorage is looking good for this season. However, who will have the stamina to keep it up and carry the team all the way?
By the looks of it Peppi Guiseppe have found the right stick. And since the goals are the thing that will win games it will become very important that Peppi can continue scoring goals and perhaps even lead the team in points.
The goaltender is an other important position that is crucial in a team. And this preseason PeanutButter Zamboni has shown that he will be a force to count on. 4 wins out of 5 games and .900 in sv% is a good start. And as long as the goaltending is this stable in the regular season the Boats will do very well.
But for a team to play good you cant only do off en deff. you need someting in the middle, thats keep on grinding, never complaining and just keep it up. And thats where Didzis Kreslins will become an important player for the Anchorage. Racking up som pim when its needed and still staying on the good side of +/-.
If theese three keeps it up there is not much that can stop the success

The Newfoundland Berserkers will be looking at their three main preseason standouts to lead the team once the regular season gets underway. Left winger Jason Bourne picked up 5 goals and 7 assists while on the right wing Hannah Crowder had 3 goals and 7 assists in the 7 preseason games for the Berserkers. Putting those together with veteran Connor McDusty, who had 6 goals and 7 assists, could form a powerful line the more chemistry they develop together. Another standout in the preseason, leading the team with 9 assists was second-year left defenseman Leo Finnegan. For leadership, the Berserkers have four-year veteran Turtle Bob as a right defenseman. The veteran leadership of Bob, Jason Warwaha, Joe Degen and McDusty will be a key factor in developing the seven rookies on the team. While the Berserkers are not among the list of favorites to win the Championship, they will be in playoff contention and will strive to improve over the season and become a threat for seasons to come.

My first choice as a game changer for the Tidal is going to be my own player--Bernard Kochese. I believe in my player to make a contribution to the team, and I am praying that their efforts are not going to go unnoticed. My second choice is going to be Roisin Armagh. I talked briefly to the user for this create in the discord channel and just had a good feeling about what they will bring to the ice and the locker room as well as a user. My third and final choice is going to be Anthony Simmons III. I choose to believe that the team as a whole is going to come together nicely and show these other teams how hard the Tidal can fight to win games and just have a great time on the ice and in the locker room. I look forward to playing alongside all my fellow players on the team and cannot wait to see what we can do this season and in the coming seasons as well.

Let's go Tidal!! We got this!! Tidal

The Carolina Kraken are looking fresh and hungry for the season to start. The logo and colour of the jerseys look good on everyone *insert chef's kiss*. Everyone is excited and the locker room is buzzing as we get the season underway.

The season is a marathon not a sprint. After the first 5 games of the season we are 1-4. It's not the start we were hoping for but it is to be expected a bit. We are a young team full of rookies with little TPE. In fact, we are in the bottom 4 of the league when it comes to TPE. What I see is potential. With the young team, loads of TPE to earn and great management, I see nothing but success in our future.

Three players to watch for this season are Max Belcher, Swedish Chef and Jamie Fraser. All three players have been around for a couple seasons and are producing right off the bat. The captain of the Kraken, Max Belcher, has been solid defensively leading the team in most of the defensive categories and time on ice, posting a 0 for +/- and contributing offensively as well. Swedish Chef and Jamie Fraser are both producing offensively. They have 9 and 8 points, respectively. All three players will need to maintain or improve on their already successful starts while the rest of the young team find their legs.

I'm optimistic about our chances this season. Obviously so far our team is high up in the standings but in general I feel we'll be much improved from last season which was just absolutely dreadful. Now maybe this is just well you can only go up from here but indeed I do feel like we plugged a lot of holes such as in the defense. That's why I wanted to give a shoutout to 3 of our new draftees on defense Bodine, Fruhstuck, and Juneau. I know that they'll continue to earn well and start to plug in those holes on defense that we'll need to support the offense that should be pretty decent this season which is crucial in an environment like SMJHL where every TPE counts particularly when the margins are so little with the two-tiered cap being at 350 and 425. The closer we can get everyone to those cap values the better to ensure that our team is as best as we can be.

For the Carolina Kraken, we are still in the rebuilding phase. With a lot of young player like mine Jérémy Louchard, my cousin Charles Louchard and others like Mikko Madeskiy, we are definitely going to be in the bottom of the league for this season. I think the plan is to build with s79 players and in a couple of seasons, when we're gonna be good, I hope Carolina are gonna get my cousin Anthony Louchard with Maine to complete the deadly trio of Louchard. As for myself, I built my player to be all offens. It might not be the best for a team on a 3rd line but it'll be really good when we're gonna try to win in a couple of season. I like to see how the sim engine works. Right now we only have one win in five games but that win came against ... The MAINE who are 3rd in the league. So hyped up for the rest of the season! Go :Kraken:

I think for Nevada key players are going to have to be from our rookie class. Badger Hennessey, Hip Hurts and myself, Slava Kasyanenko are going to be put immediately into difficult roles. The key to our success, as with most hockey teams is goin to rely on ourselves being able to keep possession of the pucks and keep possession as we cross into the neutral zone. Myself and Badger played a solid role having success in the dot during the pre season both, boasting high faceoff win percentage which will prove pivotal for regular season success. Hip Hurts is going to have to step right in and be the guy who can clear the crease for us and prevent our goalies from facing tough shots. We’re joining a team who had immense regular season success last season and need to adjust quickly. We have all the pieces to have a fantastic season so extremely optimistic to see how we can perform.

Truth being told I have not got a clue how we are looking going into this season. But we have made the playoffs at least so does that count for something? I did see the ping that we did well in pre season so hopefully that can continue into the regular season and happy times go for those who want stats.

Most important people on the Knights? brb goign to the index.

Gino Fortezza is the goalie so yeah he will be important to do the whole saving thing and we all know TPE matters in a goalie so woo go him! As for the 2 others? Chuck Chunky and No this is patrik are the 2 stand out players. Now you may think I'd pick someone with a lot of respectable points but those names are fucking funny so they will do nicely for this. hopefully they get game winning goals or assists for this. Overall should be a big season for the knights?

When I ponder this upcoming season I am excited about how we have a newbie for every position yeah.
We have “Burly Earl” Earl Biggins on defense. Burly Earl brings his lumberjack size and some excellent poke checking and blocking skills. If he can’t stop it with his pads he’ll stop it with his hair! Burly Earl will also be a key man in the offensive zone. His slap shot rivals Zedeno Chara’s and he led his pee wee hockey team in assists.
“Spicy Dijon” Djoe Anderson is next at right wing. Spicy Dijon has speed and is always aware of where his teammmatss are going to be when he is passing. Look for him to act like his idol Sean Avery and spice things up in front of the net and screen the goalie. Spicy Dijon is also known to fill his Gatorade bottle with hot sauce instead of water or power juice electrolyte drink
“Woodsy” Chuck Lumbermouth is going to be a key winger this year if he can stay healthy. While Woodsy had his last stint on the injured reserve, he took to making his own pine and oak scented candles. Woodsy’s finesse on the ice will have him skating around some of his opponents and even his teammates. Woodsy’s shot speed and shot accuracy will make him an important part of this season.
