Now with their disappointing lose in last years playoffs to the Aces behind them, the Brantford Bobcats are looking to come out firing from the gates this year with one of the most well rounded teams ever to hit the ice in the TFHL!!!!
Upfront boasts a very potent attack that includes 30 goal scorers on the top 3 lines for the Bobcats. With the likes of Samsonov, Gagne, Legwand and Cole, meshed together with youngsters such as Artemenkov, Jones and Marjamaki, the Bobcats boast a very explosive but responsible group of forwards that GM Glenn Merkir is looking to to lead the team back to the cup.
On defence is even more impressive if that is possible. With the aquisition of Gonchar from division rival Saints, the Bobcats powerplay should be even more explosive than last year. Paired together with youngsters such as Klepis, Jones and Shultz, the Bobcats D should keep other teams forwards at check for years to come.
And in goal is none other but TFHL 16 Conn Smythe winner Marty Biron who has been nothing less than one of the most solid goaltenders in the TFHL for the past few years. But waiting in the wings was the Bobcats 2nd round pick Chad Johnson who GM Glenn Merkir has high hopes for taking over the reigns from Marty when the time is right but for now, its Marty's team!!!!
With everything said and done the Brantford Bobcats again look to challenge for the conference title and get back to the cup final. With only experience lacking on such a young team, the team makes up for with a tight checking, discipline style of hockey that we hope fans will enjoy....GO CATS GO!!!!!
