As Norwich Merchants opened up thier 2009-10 campaign against the Paris Mounties last night in Norwich they looked alot different then when we last saw them in April. Norwich did lose some key memebers of thier 2009 Niagara Championship team. Gone are Sean McLeod, Dan O'Hearn, Ryan Devos, Kevin Keuhl who is now playing in Brantford, Cody Vinnai who is in Stratford. Also not returning are Ryan Baetz, Dan Graul and Kris Krouluski. There were also changes made with the coaching staff when Dave Smith stepped down after last season. Chad Paton was brought into replace him. They also added some Jr B players to fill the void. On the Blueline Brett Green was brought in from Guelph. Ben Pearson was brought in from Cambridge, up front they added Addison Fisher from Cambridge and Curtis Logan from St. Marys. In goal they brought in Matt Coutts from St. Thomas.
They should be more physical as a team both on the bluelineand up front they should have enought talent to get back to the Niagara Finals. It should be a fun year and this blogger will bring you all the highlights.
