Summer breakdown

Arrowhawk netminder Jamie Santho is off to a great start this session, sporting a 2-0 record and a .5 GAA.

LEWIS CENTER, OH - The summer Hawks roster is loaded with skill. If our opponents are reading this, chances are you haven't yet experienced the storm that is yet to come. As an amateur GM, I'm quite proud of our group this session. It's been a long time coming.

The highlight of our class for me is a highly-skilled defenseman named Adam DePerro. I've been scouting him since he was 10 years-old. No kidding. Good kid, this one. For old farts like me, guys like Adam are that breath of fresh air that help add passion to the night. Not because he's great on the ice, but he plays the game the right way. Anyone who's had the opportunity to take the ice with family would understand. It's a hockey thing. It's in our blood. And to our opponents who line up against him know this, he's a great kid. Loves the game, respects it and plays hard -- the way hockey should be played. Don't cheap-shot this one.

The Hawks have also added Ryan Soucek, a skilled sniper from Cleveland. Soucek has the skill I wish I had. He's steady in both zones and doesn't think he's in the NHL. He's a great addition to our club.

There's another addition we'll just call KVZ. He hasn't played yet, but when he does, he'll make a splash. I'm warning you now, he's almost as good as me. Not quite as slow and deliberate, but rumor has it he makes everyone on the ice better. Watch out, Eskimos.

Bobby Balls, Ryan Turay, Rich Clingman and Jason DeJong round out the club. All are excellent players and will help right the ship this session. Jamie Santho man's the pipes and will be a bitter pill for our opponent to swallow on Fridays. He's sound technically and sports a quick glove. He'll make hall of fame goaltender Jason Jensen proud.
