dont want to sidetrack this thread any more than I have to, but I wanted to respond to Moex and CS about X in '06...
As far as JVA players ready to move up, by my count the varsity squad has approx. 12 spots to fill. So JV players are going to be moving up one way or the other.
I think vanillarollin put it quite nicely. Players will step up and fill those gaps. Names like Magness, Manier, Owens, Kamp, Hill, Gibbonney(sp?), Olsen, that guy who looks and plays like a caveman....all come to mind off the top of my head. X has the coaching and the leadership to get these guys ready.
That said, I think they will surely be in the midst of a rebuilding year, with goaltending and defense as priority weak spots. Hope for a breakout star on that end of the field, and in the meantime, Middies, sack up and prepare to win a few games with heart and hustle.
