How about Minx, Lanzillotti or Scheppelman for the Jamestown D? All '92 birth years with the size and strength to compete at D1. What's the infatuation with two undersized, average D-men?

Bill Smith says:

The Soo coaching staff should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for selecting a player that joined the team in late December and has only played a handful of games. Yet, their uncommitted 92's who have played their butts off all year are slighted and not given the opportunity to showcase their talent in front of the scouts. I also shake my head at excluding their uncommitted 94' goalie (one of the best stats in the league).

A complete shame to disregard the hard work and success that these players have contributed to, yet a part-time player comes in and gets the "reward". I hope this does not upset the team chemistry that Coach Bruno spoke so highly of a couple of months ago.
