EHM 2007: Lewiston MAINEiacs

[sabotai]

No fancy intro, just going to jump right into it.

2006/2007 Lewiston Staff

Asst. GM - Vacant
- Offered to my Head Scout listed below. Still has not responded

Head Coach - Carter Connor
Adapt - 5, Det - 14, Disc - 13, Man - 14, Mot - 14, Young - 13
CGoal - 7, CoachD - 1, CoachF - 6, JAbi - 6, JPot - 10, Tactical - 17
A flashy, attacking style
- Just like with EHM2005, I sill start off by letting the HC take care of everything, and then eventually ease into taking more control of the team as I learn about the tactics and such. Connor is a great coach, but he's a terrible teacher (poor positional ratings) and a bad judge of ability (judging ratings).

Asst. Coach - Marc Champagne
Coach Goalies - 17, Coach Defense 4, Coach Forwards 3
- Basically my goalies coach

Asst Coach - Jeff Guay
Coach Goalies 5, Coach Defense 13, Coach Forwards 6
- Defensemen coach

Asst. Coach - Ed Harding
Coach Goalies 4, Coach Defense 8, Coach Forwards 6
- Uhhhhh....I need a coach to teach my forwards

Head Scout - Blake Vagvolgyi
Judge Ability - 15, Judge Potential 14
- QMJHL entry draft scout. Will always be on that.

Scout - Glenn Burt
Judge Ability 14, Judge Potential - 14
- I have him scouting the QMJHL at all times.

Scout - Duncan Fader
Judge Ability 12, Judge Potential 15
- He's the scout I use to attempt to find diamonds in the rough

2006/2007 Lewiston Roster

C Jakub Bundil - Fgn 18yo, 2 years left
Physically gifted (except has average speed and balance). Good mental attributes, a team leader. Average technically across the board (kind of rare at this level, everyone usually has areas of weakness).

C Eric Castonguay - 19yo, 1 year left
Above average physically, a team leader but not aggressive at all, Good on the faceoff (14), an offensive playmaker but not so good defensively.

C Stefan Chaput - 17yo, 2 years left
Average physically, Determined (15), but below average mental attributes otherwise, decent wristshot and passing, but below average technicals otherwise.

C Simon Courcelles - 20yo Ovr

Overall impressions of Roster
I'm deep at center, and weak everywhere else. Hudon-Paquette is my only real prospect, and that's including all of my unsigned ones.
