The upcoming sophomores at EP have a good group just havent been great in the last couple years. Do you think they will have any effect on the Varsity and JV teams this year?

Thats the exact question i am wondering also......Curious to see which last year bantams(IF ANY) can get a spot on 4th line or anything like that???toomanystitches wrote:Welikehockey - I like were you are going with this. No doubt last years sophs were great...I don't recall another class having such a impact. Will any of EP's last year bantams be able to break into the varsity line up? I have the sense that EP is just going to keep reloading with strong talent for the next few years.
To clarify the initial question: will any present sophs (not the super team juniors) have any impact at JV or Varsity levels?observer wrote:No to the initial question.
JV maybe, doubt Varsity. With 6 returning Letter winners on D and 8 up front, be tough for any sophmore to crack the lineup.mn man wrote:To clarify the initial question: will any present sophs (not the super team juniors) have any impact at JV or Varsity levels?observer wrote:No to the initial question.
EP does not have any sophs that will have any impact at all on the team at any level? I would call that an amazing statistical anomaly if you consider the number of skaters in their program.

Do 4th line guys letter at EP or something? I can think of at least three senior forwards and one D that aren't returning, so I'm curious how 6 underclassmen defenseman lettered last year. Rolling 7 D with Leddy at the point seems almost stupid. Same with the forwards, I just don't see them consistently rolling four lines, especially with the surplus of talent on the first three. I'm speculating so someone please correct me.mn man wrote:It would be hard to argue with thatboardguy1998 wrote:JV maybe, doubt Varsity.
