      Finally a productive post...

      The Gold/Silver Player debate is a good one, and is one that we see at SIUE this season. It's a good problem for us to have, as going into this season, we only had 3 players leave the Gold team, and had about 15 players overall join the club this year.

      Only 8 games into the year we have had 4 players who started off on the Silver Roster make it into a Gold game (Goaltender David Borre, Forwards Alex Edwards, Brandon Janczak, and Nick Costillo), either to fill in because of injury or because they deserved a shot. Edwards has capitalized on his opportunity, as he has 6 pts (2 G, 4 A) in 4 games, and will probably finish his first year at Gold.

      With the amount of talent currently playing on our Silver team, and the addition of John Wright on D coming 2nd semester, it creates a bit of competition with our 3-4 lines at Gold and our defensive core.
      Because of this group of Silver players are capable of taking those spots for the first time in a long time.

      This is the first year that I can say that we have had 2 solid teams capable of going a long way this season.
