And So It Begins......

Two intense weeks of training camp, two tournament semi-final appearances, and a 10-3-4 overall preseason record is officially in the books .....

..... now on to Act 3.

Before we enter the first-half of the regular season, its a good time to reflect on what we know, what we've accomplished, and what we expect.

What We Know: Our team "fabric" has all six of the "fibers" necessary to become a championship team: Skill, Speed, Toughness, Character, Chemistry, and Depth.

What We've Accomplished: Our team has put itself on the scouting community's radar and established itself as a true force to be reckoned with at the U-16 age level in the 2007-2008 season.

What We Expect: The U-16 age level in Michigan is very strong; perhaps stronger than ever. Early returns from games already played show that all five MWEHL Michigan teams are very good and every game this season is going to be a battle.
