'The Show'
Fody's
Coach Chris Fody will be drafting first again and it will be interesting
to see who he protects.
Coach Fody rolled the dice and ended up with
a mittful of players with Senior 'A' experience. Jeff Whiteside was too
good to pass up in the 6th round so he gambled on dangling buddy Kevin
Verbruggan but lost him to the wily
Dave Martin.
Martin's Auto Body
Coach Dave Martin had his hands full last year with a 'high-maintenance'
team. No one said coaching in the 'A' would be easy.
Coach Martin looked at all the guys who didn't
get along last year and decided to draft them all onto his team. Might
be an awkward dressing room for a week or so but it all works out for
the best.
Re/Max
Coach Brent Stewart put the franchise back in order last year after numerous
defections, injuries and no-shows decimated the roster. He will be looking
for healthy, committed players in the draft.
Coach Stewart went with tried and true for the
first half of the draft and has his fingers crossed that this lineup can
stay intact.
Agrospray
Matt Summers has shown he isn't afraid to roll the dice on unproven
talent.
Coach Summers lost some offence as the Chuter
got scooped but has improved his defence so this team will still be tough
to beat.
'The Farm'
Martin's
Team owner Tim Martin has announced that Wayne Hare and Kim Alexander
will co-coach this fishy franchise.
The coaching tandem of Hare and Alexander are
looking for an improvement on last year's record and are predicting a
playoff spot. D-men are hard to come by as the 'B' lost 5 good ones from
last season so this staff is considering the 1-4 alignment.
Glass
The veteran Dave Mels will be back at the helm looking to improve on last
season's results.
Coach Mels made the fewest changes possible so
this team will be ready to roll right out of the gate. Mels acquired the
highly-coveted Lawrence Pettinger by returning Ron Gasparetto to the Dynamic
cult where everyone is somehow related.
Dynamic Paintware
Once again some tough decisions for Coach Eric MacFadden on his protected
list.
Coach MacFadden has gathered up most of 'the
clan' and has scored a major coup by pulling Gaspy back into the coven.
Always a tough team to beat with GrandMaster Orpen at the helm.
Copper Mug
Coach Craig Hantz has a good nucleus to protect but may lose a player
(or two) to 'The Show'.
Coach Hantz has taken a hit with scoring champ
Sean Jansen going to the bigs. A rousing cheer was heard at the draft
as some of the other coaches were happy for Sean to have this opportunity.
The Mug will still be tough to beat as the top of their order remains
intact.
