who are graduating
midgets from the
last year's city

Midget team The
Nepean Raiders

The Knights are
hoping that Melanson
will shore up what
should be a good
defensive core.

Blake Sinclair is
expecting Melanson
to come to camp in
excellent shape. We
are looking for him
to add a little
offence on the back
end but like
everyone else in

knows, he'll have to
earn his ice time.
