Way Too Early Rankings: Rookie Edition
It’s hard to believe but we are almost 2 months into the season, though we’ve only played 3 games due to various holidays and rainouts. Perhaps it’s too early to begin throwing out arbitrary rankings based on little more than anecdotal observations and goal tallies, but we at BTSH media like to live on the edge.
All rankings and blurbs are the opinions of the writers and do not reflect the endorsement of the league’s leadership
1) The Vertz Newcomers (Vertz)
Thanks to the recruiting handiwork of newly awarded “A” Carly Bullock-Argue, the Vertz are flush with young blood in Kate Monihan, Daniella Calabrese, Daniel Sorabella, and Go Uemura. Kate and Daniella have been representing the Vertz as some of the league’s top scorers, while Danny and Go have been dominating opponents with their speed and talent.
2) Alexander Giummo (Denim Demons)
Another Williams alum like Danny and Go, Alex is a product of the free agent scrimmage, niftily picked up by commissioner and Demon’s GM Adam Herman. Though having only played one game so far, he had a hat trick in his debut, and is no doubt primed for a breakout year.
3) Sophia Lattanzio (Renaissance/Dark Rainbows)
Without a question, Sophia is one of the most versatile players in the league. She has been a force to be reckoned with for two teams, as a skater for the Ren’s and the Rainbow’s backstop.
4) Nick Klaponski (Dark Rainbows)
Nick has been a difference-maker for the Rainbows, having scored half of the team’s goals this season.
5) Joshua Friedman (Sky Fighers)
A product of the Yeshiva league hockey circuit, Josh has made an immediate impact as the Fighter’s top scorer and go-to offenseman.
