2010-11 FHL Commisioner's Preview-- Jets
The Jets enter the new season in an unfamiliar position, and that is not as defending FHL champions. After winning consecutive cups in 2008 and 2009 the Jets were finally defeated at the hands of Bishop Boyle this past season. Despite a good regular season (13-6) and being one win away from winning the cup, the Jets cleaned house this offseason by not bringing back a single player from the 2009-2010 roster with the exception of captain Zak Campbell and franchise player and MVP Brian Barca. The Jets hit the lottery of the century at the awards banquet by gaining the 1st overall pick in the FHL draft. This pick allowed them to draft former MVP and owner of the all time single season goal scoring mark (60) Chad Kanz. Kanz takes his talents to the Jets with one thing in mind, winning that elusive FHL cup. Captain Zak Campbell is obviously thrilled to have Kanz on board..
"This is exciting. I've had talented guys around me before but nothing like these two (Kanz, Barca). It's going to be a special day Saturday to witness such a dynamic offense."
Campbell hopes that Barca and Kanz will develop into what most of the league thinks they will become, and that is the FHL's version of the Miami Heat. The addition of Kanz may take some of the pressure off of star forward Brian Barca (league leading 41 goals last year). Barca has been the focus of the Jets offense for the past 3 years. This could prove problematic if these two superstars cannot find a way to share the puck. Somewhat flying under the radar is the Jets acquisition of Nick Siniawski. The big and tough forward won a cup in his rookie season with the Crosbys but has not had such luck since. Nick will be asked to do alot of the dirty work for the Jets. Last years leading goal scorer for the Kings, Thomas Sheetz also returns to the Jets after he was traded from them last season. That is another player who demands the puck and we will see how this compilation of superstars will play out. Brian Hreha, Dan Rojtas and Justin Gardner fill out the rest of the Jets expected rotation. The bottom of the roster is filled with first time players and perrenial no shows, so depth may be an issue again for the Jets. The Jets have potential to break numerous offensive records this year, and they also have potential to implode from within. We'll see what happens starting December 18.
