First Round Picks

We took Austin Coldwell, a defenseman from Ridgefield, WA who played for the Springfield Jr. Blues last season. He was picked second overall in the draft. Coldwell has the grit that the coaching staff is looking for and will be a strong addition to the defense.

In a trade with the Chicago Steel during the 2008 - 2009 season, we received the fourth overall pick and chose Brandon Carlson, a defenseman from Wheaton, IL who played for Chicago Mission last season. J.P. says that Carlson is ultra competitive and tough who isn't afraid to fight on the ice.
