Fall Roster Updated; Just 2 Spots Left

Defenseman Travis Hafner has accepted a fall roster spot offer for the 2007-2008 Fall Season. This brings the number of fall roster commitments to 18 with 1 opening left for a skater and 1 opening left for a goalie.

There are several strong candidates for these positions in our spring camp and we are fielding calls and e-mails on a daily basis from more players asking for a look.

The final decision on these last roster spots is an agonizing one. At the Midget Age level MAHA should really allow teams to roster up to 25 players for the fall season and let the players compete throughout the season to determine which 20 of them will dress for games.

Unfortunately, this is not the case right now, and whatever decision is made for these final roster spots will mean that some very good players won't make the fall team.
