Hey guys, lets see you rosters from you favorite MJHL teams assuming you could choose any player from 2000 on. Fourth line and 6th D should be checkers/fighters.

Here are my picks for the Terriers

Skworchinski Haddon Lessard
Phillips Ketchen Jackman
M. Audino Delong Nixdorf
Cherkas Yanchyshyn Leslie (fighters/checkers)

Wight Mintenko
Ellement Linder
Workman Frose (fighter)

Drew
McHale
Morton

Coach:Spiller
GM:MacGillivary

Selkirk and OCN should be able to ice some damn good teams too

Goal
Justin Harris
Andrew Leslie

d-men
Jamie Dowhayko
Jeraum Kurtz
Sktler Berman
Andrew Fernandez
Darren Bestland
Jordy Johnson (Tough)

fwd
Steve Lajoie
Andrew Murray (Columbus)
Dustin Hughes
Steve Sleep
Kyle Howarth
Brent Howarth
Adam Plescach
Russ Payne
Adam Sergerie
Kyle Ladobruk
Hans Benson (Tough)
Colan Jackson

Wight is the best dman there but next would be Linder, Workman, or Ellement then mintenko. If you are including one Dman that could play and could fight, how can you leave the most exiting terrier in 20 years off the list? Lief Thorkelson over Froese in a heartbeat.

The checking line needs some editing too: Cherkas is a great pick but what is yanny doing on that list? Fun to watch fly around but was not that good of a checker and wouldn't be on the top 20 toughest guys to have played for the terriers in the last decade. Leslie wouldnt be in the top 10 either.
these would be the toughest forwards for the terriers in the last 10 years that I can think of Jason Boily, Micheal Stacey, Kyle Minnebarriet, Andrew Cherkas. Pick any of those three. Unless you really want a checker/ agitator on your roster then there is no better than Chris Benias at center.

23 man roster:

G:
Brett Koscielny
Shawn Moneete

D: (7D)
Jeff Penner Scott McCallum
Kaine Moran Tyler Harder
Steven Shamanski Chris Barth
Kevin Falloon

F: (14F)
Joey Moggach Brock Trotter Bryan Kauk
Mark Odut Cam McGeough Corey Courchene
Mitch Carefoot Josh Schellenberg Everett Pachal
Jason Shaw Joel Malchuk Matt Lyseyko
Shane Luke TJ Warkentin

Headh Coach Marlin Murray
GM Doug Hedley

I forgot about Thorkelson, definitly edit my list and put him in there over Froese. I didn't pick Stacey etc as i was trying to avoid tough guys who only played parts of one season. My D or F lists were not in order of who is best either, all those mentioned are great players.

Guy picking Selkirk should trade Jackson for Blair Hawes and Bestland for Alex Lentowich and Kirk Thompson for Jordy Johnson. With Lentowich and Benson on the team i don't think oyu need Johnson. It does sort of bring home the incredible diference in Selkirk's forward/goalie strength compared to their defence.

Are you sure Andrew Murray played in 2000?

Andrew Murray was captain in 2000 for the Steelers

Dan Leslie should be on that list. He's led all of pro hockey in fights the last two years, over 30 per season and just signed a contract in the ECHL.

Goal:

Orlando Alamano
Sheldon Tuck
Chris Levesque/Chris Ward
Barry Brust (sorry hometown boy and cup of java in show but not long enough)

Defence

Dave Grimson Mike Gabriel
Jordan Oakley Justin Giesbrecht
Sean Pettinger Trent Tomyn
Justin Keshane chucker


Forwards

Justin Maier Ian Lowe Tyler Czuba
Dominic Lacasse Stephan Vigier Mark Agnew
Shaun McIvor Trevor Derlago Bret Peppler
Nick Cowan Chris Donald Kyle Dyck/Justin Wright Checkers
Chris Mannle Patrick Leask Chad Kozicki Chuckers

Where's Justin Falk on D?

My team covered best players while in Stamps uniform. Best overall players would change this list considerably.

Barry Brust, Justin Falk, Dalyn Flatt, Rick Kozak, Brodie Dupont, Walker Wintoneak all moved on to WHL and some to higher levels but only played a single season as 16 or 17 year old for the horsemen.

Kozak Agnew Dupont
Czuba Lowe Maier

Mannle Kozicki Leask

Gabriel Tomyn
Flatt Falk
Grimson Pettinger

Goal
Brust
Alamano

probably had the best 16 year olds in the league until the team went defunct

Travis Zajac
Darcy Zajac
Mark Olafson
Jared Walker
Derek Poplawski
Jordy Johnson

not to mention Jonathon Parker, Hartley Krulicki, Matt Bingham, Ryan Bilous, Jamie and Tommy Plesh,

are you sure travis zajac played for the Canadians?

Yes T. Zajac played for St. J in 2000-2001 as a 16 yr old.

Who cares how many fights Leslie had in the SPHL. When he played in portage he wasnt good at hockey or really that good of a fighter. He obviously is tough now. By your figuring we should put Aaron Asham and Troy Bodie on the roster because they both played games when they were 15 and 16 respectivly as APs. They were not contributors when they played but as it turns out they are the best players to wear that uniform since Rick Blight.

leslie was tough enuf,you have to be dream'n if your saying he couldn't play.He never scored many points,but he played hard every night & hard balls of steel.I'm thinking thats why he moved on to the next level. Kahunas!over &out.

Yes you are right he tried hard, but that doesnt put him on any special roster. There are plenty of guys that try hard on every team everywhere. There are also many terrier teams over the last decade that he wouldn't have made even as a 19 year old rookie. 02/03, 03/04, 04/05 at the very least. Nice guy, tough guy but no where near this group of players.
